If the warring parties in Pakistan and Afghanistan talk to each other, they might reach an accommodation and come to terms. The only fly in the ointment is the U.S., which wants the war in those countries to continue, because the U.S. Arms Industry wants business.
If the U.S. is taken out of the equation, PEACE might result, but that is not what the U.S. wants or needs now. So, it is now up to Afghanistan and Pakistan to ask the U.S. to pull out of Afghanistan/Pakistan War, let them solve their own problems.
First order of business is what business will Afghanistan replace Opium crops with? Should be food crop that can be successful. At first the Government can subsidize - but only to those who first irradicate the Heroin plants. Then reward first province to irradicate the evil crop of additcts by building Schools, roads, waterways, power grid as necessary. Perhaps the small requirement of energy in the region makes Afghanistan a candiate for wind power? As well as perhaps Hydro Electric for the Cities? With a good Gov backed infrastructure in place, security will not be a problem.
