#1 An un-enforceable deal is a non-starter. A large minority of Pashtos live for jihad terror. They have no real economy, other than selling heroin to Euro-morons.

#2 Anything that removes possible Pak military from interfereing or inadvertingly taking one aimed at the gun handlers is good by me. Lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way. Me thinks choice number three many be in operation.

#3 You know about a hundred and thirty years ago the Apache used to raid into the US from across the border. Cause all sorts of problems. One of the solutions was to use the tribes north of the Rio Grande, the Apache Scouts. If the Talibans keep killing Afghans even if they use Pak manpower, this thing can quickly degenerate into the classical 'tribal blood feud'. Nothing to stop Afghans as they did during British colonial times, to also cross the border, only south to exact some payback and pick up some trinkets. And if the Pak army isnt around, so much the better.
