As attacks made by Taliban recently against an alliance of forces and their relations to Pakistan based global terrorist network are evident. Pakistan is the backbone to the efforts on international anti-terrorism and Washington should review its policy as Pakistan is no more the scapegoat for terrorists. Pakistan captured key terrorist leaders of al-Qaeda over the past five years and contributed to unfolding various deadly plots. However, the broader policy is needed from Islamabad to battling down hardly the violent extremism shown by individuals or groups to use Pakistani territory as a base. In the past reliance of Pakistan on such intense radicals to gain strategic goals in Afghanistan and India. The ex-president of Pakistan Pervez Musharraf tried to make Pakistan a moderate and modern Islamic state under his administration but firm steps against the individuals groups seeking the destabilization of Afghanistan and India through acts of terrorism. For Pakistan, the possibility of future success lies in a strategy that prioritizes development economically and democratically. Furthermore, efforts should be made for the better relations of Pakistan, with Afghanistan and India. Pakistan needs the support of Washington in achieving these objectives and in developing greater economic relation.
