Pakistan to expect new US chasm as Taliban win
[AlAhram] Pakistain, a Cold War ally of the United States, worked with Washington in the 1980s to back Islamic guerrillas who fought out Soviet troops

After the September 11 attacks, the United States gave Pakistain a harsh ultimatum to break with the Taliban

. Pakistain offered help but insisted -- it will not be abandoned again, as in the 1990s after Washington lost interest in Afghanistan.
