The USA has specific reasons to prevent China from using the GawadarPort. But India just supports US wishes to make Pakistan weak to fulfill its dream of occupying Pakistan. In Afghanistan many offices were opened for to recruit jobless youth from Pakistani tribal areas and send them to India to terrorist training camps. Tribal youth were deceived that they were being sent to camps somewhere within Afghanistan. In these training camps, they are first of all brain washed, then trained for terrorist acts, gorilla warfare and sent back to Pakistan. In this regard Indian agency RAW is being helped by Israel and the MOSSAD.

In this way the Indian embassy and its sub offices in Afghanistan were converted to military operational headquarters against Pakistan. The propaganda against Islam and Islamic extremism already had the world worried. The terrorist attacks in Pakistan in the name of Islamic extremism, especially the suicide attacks, made world intelligentsia extremely worried about Pakistan's nuclear weapons. Terrorists especially targeted army buildings and armed personnel. Suicide bombers appeared from somewhere to target the ISI and members of the air force and army. Camps of Pak-army are attacked in the dark of night, and after a slaughter of all the soldiers, the dead bodies are strewn around. The Pak-army restrained from retaliation to avoid killing innocent people. This makes them vulnerable to two types of attack: physical attacks by guerrillas in the tribal areas and media attacks from analysts who view their casualties as a Pathan's revenge and a reaction to their deployment in tribal areas.

The reality in the tribal areas is that not only are trained agents of India and Afghanistan fighting the Pak-army, but the regular army of both countries is fighting as well. This is fully supported by US. In fact if Pak army hadn't been sent to these areas the situation would have been much worse. The Pak-army and the government wasted a lot of time trying to make deals with much time in deals with the militants' leaders. But the true agenda of these militants is neither peace nor implementing Islamic Law.

Let's now discuss another aspect of this topic, which few readers will know of. India signed a deal with Iran in 2003 to develop an Iranian port (Cha Bahar) near Gawadar. Which was funded by Iran with development planning to be completed by Indian engineers. Afterwards that port was connected to a ring road built by US in Afghanistan at the point of Delaram via a highway. To help Iran, India also built a 500 km two way road along Iran's border between the Afghan cities Zarang and Delaram. It is known as highway one, or Zarang-Delaram road as well. Also many parts of the road from Cha Bahar port to Zarang were built by Indian engineers. While the American ring road is connected in west to Kandahar, after passing through Lashkar gah, Delaram, Farh-o-farhaat to the north in Qila-e-no, and in east to Kabul. On the other side this road extends to Kabul via Gazni. This ring road is also connected to roads coming from Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan.

In last ten years, the US has spent billions of dollars to build bridges on narrow mountain paths, passes and tunnels. Investment made by Japan and India is another issue. But fighting for freedom, the Afghanis have destroyed all of them. The allies have been unable to defend these bridges with all their latest weapons. At present the ring road and the Indian built Zarang-Delaram road has become murder central for travelers. According to American research institutes, there are 35 well equipped Afghan armed groups who have one but one purpose, i.e. to destroy bridges and roads, murder travellers on these roads, especially those supporting the Allies, and to ambush the convoys of allied armed forces.

For this reason it become impossible for the Allies to move in this area without air support. America and India blame China, which has ruined all their trade plans in Afghanistan by India and America. Neither the Afghan police or army is ready to come near these deadly roads. This is the reason the US has changed command in Afghanistan and increased their troops. Although the Obama government has made an offer to China to mutually benefit from the Karakorum Phase II via the Indus Highwayto Gawadar, on condition that this trade route doesn't enter to China from Pakistan but from Tajikistan.
