I don't disagree with your perspective. The context of this situation is vital to understanding its dynamics and the egregious blunders of the past are indeed rebounding; however at present the pure mechanics, planning, target selection, networking, and the vast regional territorial expanse that is used as a springboard to sustain these attacks (not to mention the intel that is available) makes it clear that this is a war with an undeniable external dimension.
I have to disagree with the notion that this is a fully 'funded' proxy conflict. This is the result of some key decisions that the Pakistan's brilliant security appartus has taken in the last few decades. From nurturing the Taliban to sidelining the Baloch people through horrible tactics. I say let the chickens come home to roost.
