He, like the government of Pakistan, would like the NATO and American troops to leave Afghanistan so as Pakistan can turn it once again into a hub of terrorist training camps as it had done before the arrival of the international forces in the aftermath of the 9/11. Pakistan has yet to give up its designs of using terrorists in order to win its regional battles against India and Afghanistan. The USA and other NATO members need to stay the course in Afghanistan. They need not be scared by the sporadic terrorist incidents here and there which are perpetrated by the Pakistan-Trained Islamic terrorists. One cannot help saluting the culture of the freedom of expression in the West. Otherwise people like Mr. Ali would never have dared to lecture the West on what to do in Afghanistan because he comes from a country that hurt the world on 9/11 by helping in turning Afghanistan into a hotbed of international terrorism by supporting the retrogressive Taliban regime and other Al-Qaeda elements. Rather than lecturing America, he needs to lecture Pakistan and try to convince it to extradite Osama Bin Aladen and Zawahiri who are hiding in there. Also he should lecture his leaders on putting its own house in order and not allow terrorists safe heavens on its territory who cross over to Afghanistan and kill NATO and American troops there. The world can no longer be fooled by Pakistan. Mr. Ali looks like representing the government of Pakistan.
