Putting sustained and intensified pressure on Pakistan is the only viable option for America to make it act against terror networks and cooperate on the fragile Afghan peace process, former U.S. diplomats have said.
“At this juncture, sustained and intensified pressure on Pakistan offers the only viable path to advancing the reconciliation process in a way that does not turn Afghanistan into a launching pad for terrorism and extremism,” former diplomats Zalmay Khalilzad and James Dobbins said in a joint op-ed in the Newsweek.
Mr. Khalilzad was the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Afghanistan and Iran during the Bush administration, while Mr. Dobbins was the Special U.S. Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan under the current Obama administration.
