The U.S. Must
Pursue Mullah Omar as it did Osama bin Laden
"In
order to bring peace to Afghanistan, the region and the world, the Taliban must
be defeated. Like al-Qaeda, the Taliban must be expunged from Afghanistan. And like
the Osama bin Laden, Taliban supreme leader Mullah Omar must also be found and
targeted."
Undoubtedly, the killing of
Osama bin Laden is a huge achievement for America's fight against militancy,
although it comes after almost a decade. Osama bin Laden's death means progress
in regaining the public trust by the U.S. and its allies. We noted in the past
the drastic drop in public support for the Afghan War. With the conflict headed
in a completely vague direction, there has been tremendous pressure on Western
governments to withdraw. Aside from the political benefit of bin Laden's death,
the value of the U.S. dollar rose, as did stock indexes across the world.
After bin Laden's death, all
experts maintain that the war on terror must continue until complete victory.
The Taliban remain at large in Afghanistan and pose a serious threat to the
lives of Afghanistan's peace-loving people. In order to bring peace to
Afghanistan, the region and the world, the Taliban must be defeated. Like
al-Qaeda, the Taliban must be expunged from Afghanistan. And like the Osama bin
Laden, Taliban supreme leader Mullah
Omar must also be found and targeted. For the people of Afghanistan,
justice will not be completely done until the fate of Omar is the same as
Osama's. Mullah Omar murdered thousands of Afghans and foreigners and destroyed
Afghanistan. Whoever supports him and his followers is equally responsible for
the blood that was shed and is being shed by the Taliban.

Like bin Laden, Mullah Omar
and many other Taliban have been successful in hiding themselves over the past
ten years. But from time to time in Pakistan, Taliban leaders have been
arrested or killed by Pakistani security forces. Mullah
Abdul Ghani Brader's arrest last year is an example. There is a very good
possibility that Mullah Omar, along with thousands of other Taliban, escaped to
Pakistan's tribal areas and then moved to safer places. Criminals ultimately
suffer the consequences of their acts. This is the iron rule of nature proven
throughout history: Hopefully, the same will happen to Mullah Omar and justice
will be fully done.
