As Pakistanis we must keep the reality in our analysis. Empty bluster is going to hurt us,
Few corrections here my dear Sir.
1. Indians were involved in Afghanistan before 2001. So they will be in Afghanistan after 2014. Their influence may diminish a bit but they will be there.
2. Prime beneficiary of 2014 pull out by NATO will be Ayman Zawahiri and not Pakistani state. Zawahiri has openly suggested revolt against the state of Pakistan in the name of Sharia. We will not be a theocratic state in 2014, so guess what, Zawahiri will have the same level of anti-Pakistan plan if not any worse,
3. Back in the 90s, Pakistan's plan in Afghanistan was not upset by Indian presence. It was Al Qaida who demolished Pakistani influence in Afghanistan.
So we must be mindful that conditions on the ground have changed since the 90s and our plan and our views must get updated. Otherwise we'll be in for a rude awakening.
