do with the pakistani side of telegram.that fact will remain there. military action and from policy has not delivered evidence. military option has absolutely failed to be the taliban in pakistan to do with taliban on the afghanistan say. i hope this military strategic change is also parallel to that. it is a space taken over. that military cannot do anything about it. the religious discourse and more education can do that. so we been at the pakistani military can only have a limited impact. i would like to see a much broader effort to do with these decisions. thank you. >> three questions here, punch them together because they're pretty much out of time. we make the answer short and the question sure. thank you. i do not >> i thank you for the presentations. i have two questions. one of the main arguments is two days ago good situation or environment for pursuing negotiation of describing 2004. i want to know in light of all the things we know of what the government has received about the taliban and the americans, why doe
