There is no deep rooted philosophy  required to understand our problems.US knows our weakness and thats why exploiting  us again and again.if you want to write to US management form our side then follow the lines.Their simple actions can help us in bigger ways like that
They should us consider us normal human beings who need peace culture for their survival as a nation.Since then they are considering as experimental rats of their war industries.
Dont dictate our generals.
don't buy our leaders.
don't sell  arms to us.
Let us to live on our own.It will give us more power to develop our self respect and resistance to stand against our problems.</description>

		<description>Oh, also, Oracle, thank you so much for offering to translate and distribute the article more widely! Perhaps TPS would also be interested in publishing a translation? If these ideas, in any language, "go viral" and spread widely, from person to person and through the media, perhaps they might offer some immunity to the cancerous spread of the Taliban's ideas?! I realize there are long odds against my little article becoming the seed to make that kind of a difference, but I can hope, and even if the odds against are a million to one, I'd consider the time very well spent, considering the *colossal* stakes involved!</description>

		<description>i  have  no  sympathies  with  Talibans --  However some  time  i  think  that  if 9/11  had  not been happened  these  Talibans  would have  not been portrayed as  such as they  are today. 
  Who created   and  supported Talibans   and  why. . Such  like  questions  also need  to  be  impartialy  discussed</description>

		<description>Oracle, you are very kind. I hope I have some understanding of cancer, hard-won, and perhaps some insight into how national movements can be cancer-like, with some specific historical examples. To be frank, I was not sure that the Taliban, specifically, fit the mold, though I suspected it might - for that judgment I count on the superior detailed knowledge of those of you who are closer to that specific problem, and more aware of the details. As for *current* American leaders, I suspect that their understanding of the *general* nature of the problem is pretty good, already, but where foreign leaders and citizens could use a lot of help would be regarding *specific* ways that they might help, ways that would have the support of Pakistani leadership and people. If Americans try to "help" in ways that do not have your active and widespread support, the effort might very likely backfire, drawing sympathy to the enemy, rather than harming them. In Part 2, (coming *very* soon!), I suggest some *general* strategies for fighting a national cancer, and I invite you and other readers to suggest *specific* things that the US or others might do to help, things that might have the support of the people. If there are any such specific suggestions, from the Pakistani people, *those* are probably what I should send to Obama, Clinton, and Holbrooke!</description>

		<description>I wish I could distribute this article to every person in Pakistan. What I will do, I will translate in Urdu and give it to many people around me. 

What a correlation, sir. I am impressed. Yes, Taliban are like cancer cells, they don't foresee that if Pakistan perishes, they perish too. They are like all of us, very hard to identify and very hard to eliminate and so collateral damage is imminent. 

You have done extremely intelligent correlation. You are genius sir. Unlike, very unlike other Americans, you are trying to identify the root cause, and I must say that you know the problem more than many Pakistanis do. Barack Obama also tries to understand things out here. Can you please, please please send this article to him and to Richard Holbrooke and to Mrs. Clinton and yes to our own President?</description>

		<description>Radheyshyam33-SHAITAN, if, as you say, this ground has already been thoroughly covered many times before, do you mean that in Pakistan the Taliban is *already* widely seen in Pakistan, based on much repetition, specifically as a *cancer*, something that out to be fought using lessons that apply to cancer? I had no doubt that I would not be the first to suggest that the Taliban might be a bad thing - my hope was that my "cancer angle" might be a relatively fresh take on *what sort* of bad thing it is, at least fresh enough to be useful to *some* of the readers. If you agree with the idea, then presumably you would agree that the subject is serious enough, and victory is important enough, that even the smallest contribution, even something new to *some* of the readers, would be worth a few pages. Even if the idea of Taliban as a cancer is old news, I hope that Part 2, coming very soon, will have some useful, relatively original insights about how to *fight* a cancer, and deal with its consequences, from my own personal family experience.

dr jawwad, Thanks very much - I'm glad you liked it. Feel free to discuss, too, the areas where you feel my analysis misses the full, complex truth, here - I am eager to learn more from all of you who are so much closer to the problem.</description>

Talibans are not cancers as these are caused by abnormalities in the genetic material of the transformed cells. These abnormalities may be due to the effects of carcinogens,
factors in one's body or Din its surrounding. They are some how product of technices of process simulation of a model-based representation of chemical, physical, biological, and other technical processes designed by war lords or nations who want to be ruled like super powers.
I think design /creation of taliban was  started after seeing the success of Islamic revolution in 1979

The revolution was unique for the surprise it created throughout the world as it was massively popular which overthrew a regime heavily protected by a lavishly financed army and security services as an unique idea of — an Islamic Republic .
So typical monarchy of UAE and saudi felt lot of danger that this type of movement could grow towards their side and then taken away their family dynasty.US are all time friend of these rich monarchs due to oil rich terrain so it was not difficult for to brain wash these weak but extremely brutal characters to convince them to start hidden war against this shia movement ,a some how 
like danger alarm for their unaccountable family rule.
So the war was immediately started in 1980s on Iraq Iran border to shake the foundation of islamic foundation
In 1982 with Iranian success on the battlefield, the U.S. made its backing of Iraq more pronounced, supplying it with intelligence, economic aid, normalizing relations with the government.
During the war, Iraq was regarded by the West (and specifically the United States) as a counterbalance to post-revolutionary Iran. The support of Iraq took the form of technological aid, intelligence, the sale of dual-use and military equipment and satellite intelligence to Iraq. While there was direct combat between Iran and the United States, it is not universally agreed that the fighting between the U.S. and Iran was specifically to benefit Iraq, or for separate, although occurring at the same time, issues between the U.S. and Iran. 
Iraq's main financial backers were the oil-rich Persian Gulf states, most notably Saudi Arabia ($30.9 billion), Kuwait ($8.2 billion) and the United Arab Emirates ($8 billion).

Along with this   it was the United States that also played the Kurdish card on the same pattern as we saw  support to specific groups with all military support to fight against anti US forces in any part of region.
There are very similarities between kurd and Pakistani talibans.Both live in the mountainous region  and their number historically has been hard to calculate and estimates have continued to increase. The region they inhabit has been referred  not refer to a non political designation. Both historically have always been a stateless people and considered as best soldiers due to their natural illogical skills

The term "Kurd or taliban" was a generic one used to denote nomads, and non-Arabs in particular. In Kurdish, the term "Kurd" means "warrior" or "ferocious fighter.So seeing their geographical and biological background these areas are best hunt ground for producing soldiers against anti US forces.The areas where they grow are usually deprived areas due to negligence of political forces or intentions of dictators under US funding and support to these Islamic autocrats.

So we also saw same kind of funding toward various rebel groups within Chechnya fighting the Russians, each with different political, economic or ideological motivations Some of these derive from a desire for revenge for past Russian military and political action in the region, . Adding in Chechnya's military culture, unemployment and poverty, it is easy to see why the cycle of violence and hatred common to regional conflicts ensue extremism in the region again funding of CIA  and wahabi groups were obvious in such localized war game.
So it was basically Russian war in Afghanistan that has started taliban ,a process simulation designed in CIA and for practical and dynamic simulation, our soil was selected under wolves of our army generals who are publicly recognized as sheep of nation.So I reverse your term  as taliban producers are our military generals  who are our real wolves clothing in sheep.These wolves hired services of religious clerics under US ,saudi and drug money and that ultimately generated a flood of monsters in our soil as uncontrolled chain reaction of this design of human breed.
The motto of such leaderless resistances are always war , war and win over the dead bodies so no peace or dialogue options are left for reconciliation with them. Kurds were treated with chemical gas, chechniyans were treated with full force of military without any human sympathy by a super power and now in our side operation rahe rasit is continuation of genocide of these breeds for complete eradication.

Religion is just trivial factor but surely strong driving force to gather such groups for typical mind set people.It works effectively and on this basis it is spread on large scale population who are illiterate and deprived of state facilities.
Its true goals are surely to weaken the anti US sentiments in strong areas against specific community as we Muslim consider these talibans as the deadliest threat to Islam.
Mode of actions  of talibans are suicidal bombing, harassment , kidnapping,brutal ways of killings, forced concept on general public and they applied all actions to common people without affecting the elite class so on mass level it produces catastrophic affects on one's culture, life style and  source of incomes.</description>

		<description>Regarding foreign involvement behind the origins of the Taliban, and behind its continued operations:

Well, cancer often has an external cause, cigarette smoke, chemicals, radiation, whatever. If we want to talk prevention, then let's talk about those foreign causes and how to prevent them from getting the cancer started. If the cancer is already *there*, if it is now a group with some internal momentum, and some internal ability to grow without further external help, then it must be fought as a cancer - stopping smoking accomplishes little once you *have* lung cancer. If it is a sort of hybrid thing, with some internal strength, but also strengthened from outside by continued support, such as by foreign-funded recruiting stations mascerading as madrassas, then let's talk specifics about how to fight the hybrid thing. For example, if foreign-funded recruiting stations mascerading as madrassas are part of the continuing problem, today, how might these be stopped without interfering with legitimate madrassas doing good works and without violating the principles of freedom of religion? Whatever foreign involvement there was originally, and there is, today, it is evident that the foreign powers, either government or non-government powers lack the resources or the wish to place a major foreign army within your borders - they won't put enough individuals in Pakistan to overthrow your government without internal help, so let's talk about how to keep the few foreign agents out and how to *deny them that internal help*, and not just shrug our shoulders at the hopelessness of it all because the real bad guys are foreigners.
