Apart from America fighting a resurgent Taliban in the South and East, Nato has been given charge of conducting the overall operation. It was a first for Nato in its new role as something of a world policeman, having travelled a long way from its founding purpose of fighting Communism and the Soviet Union. There are national caveats on the use of troops, tardiness in providing adequate infrastructure, particularly in air transportation, and faulty co-ordination of economic activity with military operations.
The situation has been further hampered by Pakistan’s own preoccupation with a troubled transition to democracy, with a fragile coalition still to take full charge while a diminished Pervez Musharraf occupies the presidential office, and the Army under a new chief is seeking to be more professional than has been its wont. The coalition government has been torn between seeking peace with elements of Pakistani Taliban and mounting punitive exercises to please the American allies. The intelligence agency ISI has traditionally enjoyed much leeway and has been blamed by Afghanistan and India for helping organise the daring raid on the Indian embassy.
