At this point, regardless of the trust/lack thereof in NATO intentions, Afghanistan is a very dangerous neighborhood. Conflicts have a way of spilling out of their contained areas, and that can happen without a warning. It is not rational to rely on just good luck and someone's good intentions to secure the lives of Afghanistan's neighbors. I am actually quite amazed that a much tighter security is not in place, including a very robust standing forces capable of dealing with a large scale breach of borders. One has just to look at what happened to Pakistan's independent tribal areas. It is too simplistic and naive to think that anybody is chasing Al-Qaeda or the original Taliban in those areas! Those are tribal organizations, and they know what is going on on their territory. Yet, a completely clueless civilian government made of former exile alumni, thought it expedient to go along with a flawed US military strategy. The resulting millions of refugees spawned hundreds of thousands newly minted militants. Sure enough, somebody is going to call all those "Taliban" as well. It has become very popular name, even India has decided to join the bandwagon. It is calling Naxolites, their old Maoist foes --- the Red Taliban!!! This is chaos, clueless experiment 101. CSTO need to use some clear thinking, not wishful dreaming.
