’71 happened -> Pak starts looking for ‘strategic depth’ -> Finds strategic depth in Afghanistan via Taliban -> Taliban patronizes Al Qaida -> Al Qaida pulls a 9/11. Et voila. Ms Gandhi is responsible for 9/11.
Time to grab some popcorn.
I just haven't worked up the panache to get there yet. But you clearly anticipated me. Yeah you see, I was going to crown her the god-mother of Taliban, too.
On a serious note - Pakistan's need for "strategic depth" was definitely made more acute by the outcome of 1971, irrespective of how you spin the timeline - for necessity is the mother of all inventions - physicial, conceptual, or geo-political.
Anyhow, some walk away with "bragging rights", while others walk away with a geopolitical windfall and increased defensibility.
To me my conclusion and to you the shrine of IG - to each his own toxic brew!
