Pakistan has never been sincere in peace talks with Afghanistan. They always create obstacles and make excuses to avoid real progress.
As a Pakistani, I feel ashamed of my government. I really want Pakistan to stop pandering to the USA.
Both countries are Islamic but are fighting fiercely. They should resolve this issue properly before it becomes too late.
