Clearly the general thinks very poorly of the intelligence of Pakistan's citizens. How else could he believe that such a falsehood would be accepted?A former Pakistani army commander said that the disclosure of classified documents by the whistleblower site of Wikileaks is a US plot to create rift among friendly and neighboring states.
RAW is missing in that article...dont like not getting named after such a hard work lol.....
Thus, the nation of Pakistan continually verges upon insanity, as society's hold on reality is continually challenged by loud leaders who seek to take personal advantage of this characteristic, rather than mend the collective psyche.
Zero. How is that relevant? Am I not talking to Pakistanis on this forum?Please tell me, how much time have you spent in Pakistan?
Not much!you surely have more to go on than a forum and the press, right?
Going to Pakistan is necessary for what reason?...keen to learn exactly what the basis of your deep insight into the Pakistani psyche is and how much time you spent going around Pakistan to develop it.

Biased, perhaps. But aren't you two resorting to a personal attack simply because you cannot refute my arguments? How does that serve Pakistan?Solomon, you talk as if you've been study Pakistan for years from biased or incorrect sources.

The self-selected Pakistanis here I assume are representative of those who are interested in how their country is run and literate enough to induce change, if desired.Yes, you are. And do you think that the people you interact with on a defence forum are representative of the Pakistani nation?
By itself I do not.Further, do you think that anonymous interactions on an internet forum really tell you about the character of a nation?
No, I know nothing about it.You must have seen the CNN comments section.
You are concentrating on a credential search. I'm not going to provide a CV. All you have to go on is my writing.Thanks for confirming that. It just amazes me that on the one hand you say the above, and on the other you offer unqualified judgement on an entire nation.
As the Wikileaks files show, our Defense Secretary Mr. Gates also expresses morose sentiments about Pakistan, so I'm in good company. And I have met Pakistanis, though you only have my word for that, of course.I would think that before you share expert insight such as, "the nation of Pakistan continually verges on insanity" you would at least have a clue about the people you are passing judgement on.
Quite right. I do want to visit Pakistan sometime. I have little idea of how most Pakistanis interact at a personal and family level, for example. I don't know how most Pakistanis interpret art and form. But via forums and newspapers I can tell how Pakistanis reason.In general, most normal people feel that without visiting a country you can't really get a sense for the culture, people, their views and so on.
If you don't like inference talk to the French, they are big on deduction.But perhaps you, with your outsized and rather magical powers of inference, can understand the condition of an entire nation -
