we must thrive as a neighborhood.

It is interesting statement but ground realities are very different. How you will thrive with the neighborhood like India with chronic issues like Kashmir and water conflict. Moreover you need to convince them not play with our fault lines.

The Germans and the French had continuous conflict for decades but they reached a consensus whereby a thriving neighbor is seen as an advantage and not a threat.

Marshal Petain who was the military leader of Vichy France during the Second World War adopted the ideology of National Revolution which was originally based on a pro-German idea which had been known widely in 1930s.At that time Germany worked hard to spread it widely in Europe.

It is very difficult for Pakistan to adopt pro india ideology as creation of Pakistan is based on Two Nation Theory. India claims to be secular state can't adopt pro Pakistan ideology.

When the Franco-German reconciliation committee "Comité France-Allemagne" founded in 1935 in Paris it was an important element for Germany to get closer to France, views of Pro-European, Pro-German, anti British, anti liberal political and economic views and some times Pro-Nazi views was adopted by this Committee. Later on the key members of the Committee became the key leaders of the French collaborators with Nazis after 1940.

When Marshal Petain officially proclaimed the collaboration policy with Nazi Germany in June 1941, he justified it to the French people as an essential need for the New European Order and to keep the unity of France. Therefore, much of WW2 French propaganda was pro-European, exactly as German propaganda was Therefore, a group called "Group Collaboration" had been established during the war in France, and led a myriad of conferences promoting Pro-Europeanism. The very first time the expression "European Community" was used was at its first sessions, as well as many conferences and guests lectures sponsored by the German government, propagating French-German reconciliation, French renewal and European solidarity.

India must realize that Pakistan is here to stay, its a nuclear power and its in their interest to have a thriving Pakistan.
If India is to exercise its regional and global ambitions it must stop playing zero sum game vis-a-vis Pakistan.

Pakistan must realize that India is no more the same country that it used to be in the 1980s, it is a fundamentally transformed country and it makes no sense that Pakistan tries to have parity with it. Pakistan will do well by focusing its energies inwards.

Kashmir is not a chronic issue, its part of India, the sooner you guys realize the better.

The same goes for my country Afghanistan, those dreaming of Loy Afghanistan aka areas across the Durand Line must stop provoking Pakistan and accept it as an international border. We Afghans will do well if we can fix the current Afghanistan in its current geographical state.

As I stated earlier, there is a need for a fundamental change in the thought process of the countries in region here. Some of the changes may be painful to digest at first but we will transform our region should we decide to thrive together.

/ Peace.
