Sir — This refers to the article, “Shadow-boxing Taliban for a billion US dollars” (July 23) by Ashok K Mehta. The Pakistani Army is befooling the US by extracting juice for its nefarious activity in the neighbourhood. Pakistan, as a state, has misled US for 50 years.
I wonder if the US is really so dumb that it does not understand this. Or, is it going along to meet its short-term benefitsIJ
