Recently, I have gone through news that Obama and party are categorizing Taliban Terrorists what will be the criteria? God knows. I think they will differentiate good and bad Taliban according to their activities i.e. against which nation they have (Taliban’s) attacked. If Taliban will work against US they will be bad, but if against rest of the world then good.

Imagine Obama sitting among Taliban leaders sharing beer. Regarding this step, it would not have been new thing for those know American bent of mind. But in India it is very big shock as most of Indians love America then their own motherland for employment or other reasons. But, yes, it is the biggest U turn of recent times.

Though, history is full of examples, when powerful people deceived the whole world .They have no ethics and no sense of responsibility. US is land of opportunistic people living for personal gains at the cost of others.

But, it is really strange decision and change in American strategy. Well, they are going to follow divide and rule policy. Iraq is the burning example of this policy and recently Pakistan is the new entrant in this list. US will be targeting certain points of personal interest;

1. How to use Taliban as a weapon against rivals?
2. How to check developments in Russia?
3. How to engage or divert attentions of nations like India so that they must not become equal in status and economy.
4. How to check trio of India, Russia and China.

There are number of areas of personal benefits for US administration, but yes it will be a biggest challenge for India to tackle because now onwards only India will be in the hit list of Taliban and US will supply weapons to them, as presently they are doing in Pakistan.
