Hi,
@Khafee --- did you read this boy's post---
I am impressed with your input---. First it was @User who stated it in a 3 liner---and now it is you---who has simplified in a few words the crux of the issue---.
Indeed---our industry is military---that is what we have trained it to do---fight terrorism---with mega dollars---billions and billions of them---.
The americans sell their weapons---the indians sell their IT & computer guys---japanese sell their cars---and we cannot sell the resource and services that we have---ie---fighting terrorism---.
The issue that people are not understanding is---that it was our resource and the manner we took down the terrorists---step by a stair step---methodically with surety---.
That is what the GCC was looking for---not just an army that could go in and kill them all---but someone who could systematically remove the problem and then address the issues as well.
I really think that if I was in front of the TV camera---with this input from you and @User---and banged it it time after time into the minds of the public---we would have seen a different result.
The true failure was that there was not a single person with the right tactical information to project the cause of the GCC---.
And for that---I blame the GCC more than Pakistan---their arrogance got the better of them---.
The GCC needs to learn that if you want to send someone to die for you---you need to romance them a little better---cajole them---reward them---show them love and affection---let them know that you would be there for their loved ones left behind if you died for the cause---.
I personally would like to know---how many SHIA parliamentarians are in the pakistani national assembly---what is their proportion in relation to the overall population---and how they voted.
And then I put an equal blame on pakistan's military and politicians---for not grabbing onto the moment---it was the moment of true salvation for pakistan's economy and defense---.
Thanks.
Unfortunately we are an emotional nation. Anyway, what troubles me more is that diplomacy and foreign relations are almost non existent since the last government. The damage was done but since then, haven't seen any real efforts to patch things up. Mostly silence. No wonder our neighbour has started an isolation drive. They probably see foreign relations as the biggest flaw in our armor at the moment.
