@Planetwarrior,
Yes, there is a sea change in the Pakistani thinking and the post-OBL events have opened any closed eyes in Pakistan vis a vis American presence in this area. One of the items before the recent joint session of Parliament in Pakistan was India. It could be either a rejoinder to India over the threat made by the Indian Army Chief. Or it could have been a shift to make peace with India. At least 'shelve' the Kashmir issue. Not sure how much India was discussed. They should have. The current Parliament of Pakistan is unique in the sense that there are all kind of parties represented. Same is with the provincial assemblies of Pakistan. The military top brass was also inside Pakistan. Pakistani parliament should have extended an olive branch to India to shelve the disputes then.
Anyway, I hope China can influence that. This topic is about that.
Several points:
- why does being anti-America equate to being pro-India?
- why do you think China can influence India in any way?
- as much as I would like peace with India eventually -- and we have much in common -- the fact is that they are causing trouble in Baluchistan and elsewhere. This is not idle conspiracy theory; it is a realistic assessment based on India's past activity in Sri Lanka, East Pakistan, Sikkim, Nepal, etc, etc. I am not saying Pakistan has been innocent in all this, but all governments do dirty dealings, and India is no exception. I can understand many people in Pakistan are upset at the security establishment, but these matters should not be decided while one is reeling from emotional rebound.
