there is no shame in nieling down against bigger power, we did the same you should too if you want peace but it dosent seems like it.
@pakistani342 raised a very good point about Cuba and what US did to them when they hosted the Missiles, why shouldn't we protect ourselfs.
It was,is and will be Pakistan first always. ! . Pakistan is the nation which helps muslims all over the world
From palestine, bosnia,africa, kashmir and afghanistan. It was Pakistan alone and none of the rest of so called muslims spread around the world
@A-Team
Not to give Pakistan a pass
at all -- but to me what is good for the goose is good for the gander. To evaluate Pakistan's
bad behavior --
we can look at what other states did or would have done, had the shoe been on the other foot -- a small sampling
1.
Afghanistan -- support for Baluch separatists, support for Pashtoonistan -- which was essentially supporting the equivalent of Taliban --
2.
India [World's largest democracy] -- forcefully annexed HayderAbad, Goa, Sikkim and used totally different principles vis-a-vis Kashmir. Supported Mukti Bhani (terrorists) to split Pakistan into two. Controls the foreign policy of Bhutan. Intervention in Sri Lanka; support for the LTTE (terrorists)
3.
USA [World most powerful liberal democracy and leader of the free world] -- Treatment of Cuba after missile crisis, Haiti/Panama episode in 1990s, Annexation of: Texas, civil war, annexation of New Mexico, California, [current day Arizona]; Monroe doctrine: that the US would be the pre-eminent power in the Latin America
4.
Israel [Liberal democracy] -- annexation of territories outside the 1948 lines -- denial to a new Palestinian state of having a full defense force -- insistence that Israel will keep bases in a new Palestinian state.
Fair enough, since you have raised your demands here is a couple of the Afghan side.
- handover Afghan Talis,including Haqqani and stop all their support infrastructure and stop graduating anti afghan elements in your madrassas. Haqqani madrassas are acting like yale and stanford in Pakistan
- stop screwing around with the transit routes, this is an agreed right of the landlocked country
- Afghanistan will have relations with India like any other country does, you cant dictate that. but
Gurrantee will be given that Afghan soil wont be used against Pakistan.
- Afghan refugees are already returning.
Sounds good to you ?

Actually "transit routes are not as simple as stated by Afghanistan" -- see Israel vs Gaza
1. Pakistan can easily deny Afghanistan
access to the sea:
a. Claiming Afghanistan is a
belligerent -- this is akin to a Naval blockade (declaration of war)
b. Afghanistan is a
security threat -- which it is (weapons are smuggled from Afghanistan into Pakistan)
c. Afghanistan is a
narcotic threat -- drugs are smuggles into Afghanistan from Pakistan
d. The
national treatment to Afghanistan was granted in APPTA because of US pressure -- National treatment of Afghan transports is not required under the law of the sea
e. Pakistan can impart
addition friction (regulatory, malfeasance by short staffing functions) on Afghan transports
f. The
access to the Sea and not India
2. Turkmenistan, Kyrgistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan are
also landlocked states and Afghanistan has to grant them the rights to access Pakistan or Pakistani ports (while Pakistan only has to grant Afghanistan access to the sea)
