Don’t blame Pakistan for the outcome of the war in Afghanistan. Imran Khan is the prime minister of Pakistan. Watching the recent Congressional hearings on Afghanistan, I was surprised to see that no mention was made of Pakistan’s sacrifices as a U.S. ally in the war on terror for more than two decades. Instead, we […]

Don’t blame Pakistan for the outcome of the war in Afghanistan. Original source: The Washington Posthttps://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/09/27/dont-blame-pakistan-outcome-war-afghanistan 全球观点 观点：伊姆兰汗：不要将阿富汗战争的结果归咎怪罪于巴基斯坦 于9 月 22 日，一名男子在针对巴基斯坦政府的坦克女子学校的爆炸现场进行调查。(Saood Rehman/EPA-EFE/REX/Shutterstock) 伊姆兰汗的观点昨天美国东部时间早晨 6:00 伊姆兰汗是巴基斯坦总理 看着最近关于阿富汗的国会听证会，我惊讶地发现，巴基斯坦作为美国盟友二十多年来在反恐战争中的牺牲居然没有被提及。 反之，我们却为美国的损失遭受指责。 让我说得通俗一点。 自2001年以来，我多次警告阿富汗战争是不可能会赢的。 鉴于他们的历史，阿富汗人永远不会接受长期的外国军事存在，包括巴基斯坦在内的任何局外人都无法改变这个现实。 不幸的是，9/11 之后的历届巴基斯坦政府都试图取悦美国，而不是指出军事主导方法的错误。 因为迫切需要全球相关性和国内合法性，巴基斯坦军事独裁者佩尔韦兹•穆沙拉夫 (Pervez Musharraf) 在 9/11 之后同意了美国对军事支持的每一个要求。 这让巴基斯坦和美国付出了同样沉重的代价。 美国要求巴基斯坦针对的目标包括由中央情报局和我们的情报机构三军情报局联合训练的团体，目的是在 1980 年代要在阿富汗击败苏联。当时，这些阿富汗人被誉为履行神圣职责的自由战士。罗纳德•里根总统甚至在白宫招待了圣战者。 一旦苏联被击败，美国就放弃了阿富汗并制裁了我的国家，在巴基斯坦留下了超过 400 万阿富汗难民，并在阿富汗发生了一场血腥的内战。在这种安全真空中出现了塔利班，其中许多人在巴基斯坦的阿富汗难民营出生并接受教育。 快进到 9/11，当时美国再次需要我们——但这一次是针对我们共同支持打击外国占领的行动者。穆沙拉夫提供华盛顿后勤和空军基地，允许中央情报局在巴基斯坦的足迹，甚至对美国无人机在我们的土地上轰炸巴基斯坦人却视而不见。有史以来第一次，我军横扫了巴基斯坦和阿富汗边境的半自治部落地区，这里曾被用作反苏圣战的集结地。这些地区极端独立的普什图部落与塔利班和其他伊斯兰激进分子有着深厚的种族联系。 对这些人来说，美国和苏联一样是阿富汗的“占领者”，理应受到同样的待遇。由于巴基斯坦现在是美国的合作者，我们也被视为有罪并受到攻击。美国对我们领土的 450 多次无人机袭击使情况变得更糟，使我们成为历史上唯一一个被盟友如此轰炸的国家。这些空袭造成了巨大的平民伤亡，进一步激起了反美（和反巴基斯坦军队）的情绪。 伤亡已造成。 2006
