Ensure peace and security before troops withdrawal

US President Barack Obama has made announcement of withdrawal of 33, 000 troops from Afghanistan in the next 14 months. Becoming overenthusiatic over the killing of US number one enemy Al-Qaeda supremo Bin Laden by its security personnel under a meticulously planned operation. The Obama's troops withdrawal decision appears to be taken in haste that may prove to be self-defeating. Obama has announced withdrawal of troops with an eye on his campaign for re-election of President for the second term. He has ignored the Soviet experiences of troops pull-outs from Afghanistan and after that how Taliban rule established there, though there was US support behind their out-lawed regime. His withdrawal decision is also not appearing to be supported by his Secretary of State Hillary Clinto and Intelligence Director General David H. Petraeus, who had been his top commander in Afghanistan also. President’s decision is a setback for him. President Obama himself knows that the base of 9/11 attack was Afghanistan under Taliban and for that matter the US had declared war on it to throw out them out. But by throwing out the Taliban regime does not mean that Afghanistan has been completely cleared of Taliban. They may have lie low in the face of drone attacks by US in the hilly terrain of Afghanistan-Pakistan border. With the killing of Osama bin Laden in Abotabad of Pakistan, it has also been clear that other top leaders of Al-Qaeda may have hidden in safe haven out of the reach of US drone attack in that country. As far as President Obama views are concerned that security responsibility will be transferred to the Karzai government , it must be kept in view that this Afghanistan government has still not been made capable of withholding the Al-Qaeda and Taliban attacks if they resurface, finding no pressure of US troops from above. One thing is also clear that Pakistan would support them to establishment their hold in Afghanistan as it is strategically very important for them. One of the most important reasons behind the announcement of troops withdrawal is US domestic economic strain. US citizens have not yet been come out of the economic slump so they are impatient to get rid of the financial problems by cutting down expenditure on security in other parts of the world.As far as India is concerned, the announcement of troops withdrawal by US will make to think seriously how not allow Pakistan to have control of all situations in Afghanistan. Afghanistan has been a very good friend of India. It is very much strategically important for India and any resurfacing of Al-Qaeda and Taliban there may pose security threat to it also. So, India would like that withdrawal of troops must not help grow Taliban strong.
