Jana,
You are a reporter.
A reporter has a whole lot of inside info.
Do you really feel India and Pakistan fight wars as per their plans?
India, in any case, during Kargil go for an all out war since it would have been catastrophic for the economy and the NDA govt wanted to prove that they are better in governance than the Congress! Self interest uber alles!!
Ohh Sir Jee thats what im saying going to conventional wars these days specially by India or Pakistan is out of question due to many reasons some you mentioned above.
In so far as Superpowers getting kicked out of war zones, one should view it pragmatically and without emotions. There was no hope in hell of the USSR going out of Afghanistan without the help of the US. And there is no hope of the USA quitting either in Afghanistan or Iraq unless they want to go!
I have no delusions about what these powers can do since they are not only militarily strong but also control the world economy! And without a cooperative economy, one is finished!
Don't think any superpower or even China will ruin their position as world supremos to help anyone!
Self interest above all!
No emotionlaism Sir Ray.
rather these powers have to due to many reasons.
1. domestic pressure.
2. fighting a war that is creating more problems for their own people and breeding more terror
3. The burden on their own tax-payer for fighting a war that is being fought for some vested elements some jaints that would be benefited by the energy game.
4. the terrain is not favourable for them.
5. the popoulation of the countries they had attacked wants them out of their countries.
and many other reasons.
The cost of the usless war is casuing them also.
