and one thing that came to my mind was a movie that played called "charlie wilson eswar." it was about funneling money into afghanistan to fight the russians and give them the opportunity to stand on their own and get their country back. and charlie wilson said the ability for thetous bring in that money, and what they did, it was the end game that much -- the end game. republicans can't deny that millions of dollars was spent. but what the importance now would have been is if we did carry the end game, the -- what would our partner be now there? and how much stronger would our relationship with the people there be? guest: yes. thank you for your comments on the history. i am an historian by nature. so i agree with you. the u.s. plays a particular role. we are not moving away from our responsibilities. we perpetual -- and we know they want to do it together with us. so i think the conditions are there for a very good operation and the conditions are there to show together we can do better than in isolation. of course we are worried about the day after. after gaddafi steps

the beginning this is how we got rid of the soviets from afghanistan and then in the week of charlie wilson's war we left and we should remember we have seen this before. what happens if you disengage? but there are these groups and this is the conundrum of allowing poisonous snakes to have a nest in your backyard, the task of understanding they are going to bite the neighbors' kids but sooner or later the bite yours and that is how the pune job taliban has -- and so there is a very worrisome development where the youth from the settled area are being radicalized in the troubled areas and this is a kind of challenge in addition to of course the various political social and economic challenges pakistan faces. this is the kind of challenge the are working to come to grips with. we have close relations with general chianti. i met him twice in the last four weeks alone for example, and we are working more closely than ever on a coordinated operations on either side of the border so that if they do an operation against the taliban pakistani postured if they come across the border as they did by th
