I am not amazed at how you are twisting what i said in your post.. here is what i meant..
India has proven itself to be self-centered.. and at the moment it is enjoying the support of USA and the west.. after it was 'friends' with USSR (the then super power).. but you need to understand one difference in between these two.. Americans don't give dolly without getting more out.. so right now.. what was played with Pakistan couple of decades ago is getting played in India..
That's where you don't know how diplomacy is handled, bro. See, it is not Pakistani people's fault but the fault of some feudal lords who didn't give you the window to see the other side of how it is played. Russia still remains our best friend while we are gaining new friends. Because our friendship is based on mutual partnership; not a position lower to the other country. If we bow in some cases, we make sure that there is enough returns sometime later. Because rigidity in diplomacy is not possible. It is more like business. Your partner also gets profit and so do you. US is right now friendly to us for reasons that they and we feel that converge our interests, but we have also been loggerheads with each other during cold war. So trust me; we know how to handle them. It is TOTALLY different from the way they handled you.
While there are quasi-lobby attempts here, but it usually fails in India.
It will take them time, but in few years, you'll have the same CIA network and 'Paid' leaders leading your country.. You will not be able to stay 'self-centered' as you have stayed.. difference in approach of USSR and USA will painfully dawn on you..
We already have paid leaders, dude. What do you think traitors like Sonia Gandhi and her pet poodle MMS are? Sincere nationalists?
. Trust me, they are the same as Zardari if not worse than him. The only difference is that the social structure and mentality of people here is different and that is what makes the whole US interaction with us and with you different.
USA right now is going to start supporting you (it has already) because of a [possible] bi-polar world of future.. (China and USA).. so it is grooming India as it did with Pakistan to take down USSR.. so enjoy the dolly until they start asking for return favours.. and by that time your politicians/leaders will start acting like puppets for them.. just like the Zardari Regime...
Oh Maino madam is already a puppet that has a very nosy opposition to counter her. There is going to be no bi-polar world anymore because multiple rising countries not just in Asia but in Latin America and even Eurasia (Turkey). So this will be very different scenario. As much as people think that China is the next Soviet Union, Chinese leaders are smart and would take existing scenario seriously. Remember, US-China are intermingled in a way that Soviet Union was never.
This is the Multi-polar era, as much as you'd like to deny it. China is huge no doubt; but this world has multiple rising countries simultaneously unlike Cold War that was characterized by a world divided between newly independent African and Asian countries and their former colonizers.
As far as Zia is concerned, i do not support his policies in total.. i am saying that what Pakistan did to USSR was the requirement of THAT time.. and it was the right step.. i guess that was the topic of discussion.. right?
Well you could say that. But you didn't do much except earn yourself an enemy. Just got lucky that USSR passed away. If they had pulled back before weakening economy, you'd be cursing your government for that mis-involvement today.
BTW, our curriculum has always been war study, thanks to your war mongers.. stop the weapons race from your side and we will do the same.. we do not wish to spend the budget on military as much as we are spending.. but a 'failed' test of a missile every 'second' day from India forces us to do a 'successful' test in response.. the concept is to keep your big mouths in control..
