The Taleban were a Pakistani (ISI) creation in the first place. They are now out of anyone's control, which is the real issue in this war.

Western forces are fighting them in Afghanistan, Pakistan has been coerced into fighting them on Pakistani territory. If the latter campaign fails succeed and the Taleban become a threat to the Pakistani state, western intervention inside Pakistan becomes inevitable.

Your statement that 'nobody cares' is downright nonsense. The whole world is watching these developments and the talebanisation of Waziristan has been in the news for several years now.
