Admiral Mile Mullen and Special Envoy Richard Holbrooke have been meeting with tribal leaders and civic groups all over Pakistan. They seem to be a little in the dark as to who they are dealing with.
But the most telling meeting was with young adults, many of them students, from the northwest tribal areas. A young man said he had known one of those killed in a Predator drone strike. "You killed 10 members of his family," he said. Another said the refugees created by the Predator strikes had destabilized his village.
"Are many of them Taliban?" Holbrooke asked.
"We are all Taliban," the young man replied. It seemed a statement of solidarity, not affiliation, but as a way of revealing how mixed loyalties and deep resentments make Pakistan so difficult to handle, it was shocking all the same.
