If all it takes to be a brick to protect own national interests, I would gladly be one. Again no problems there.
I am coming more and more to this conclusion that these both countries should leave each other alone and should not have any sort of relationships (if something like that is possible at all).
India is a gone case. From younger Pakistan PoV, we should look elsewhere and ignore this country. Yes as a country we can not chose or change our neighbors, but our role-model is China not this extremely irritating neighbor India. We can learn a lot of things from China and start repairing our relations with other neighbors. Let the silly and childish arrogance India is living in, consume her.
I hope within hope that India has similar feelings towards us and leave us alone for a decade or so.
You don't get it do you?
Let's take the two things separately.
It was the US that was your role model first. and that's where your troubles started. Because you had nothing going for you, no identity, only that whatever your neighbour was, you would not be. That isn't a very positive way to go forward, and that is why you periodically search for role models. Then with Zia, they became bad news and you found refuge in religion of an unreconstructed, unrefreshed variety. Fair enough; your call. Now you're looking for the Chinese.
Have you got the clue? In another fifteen years, max twenty, you will find the Chinese aren't what you really need to follow and you'll be looking for someone else again. The problem is not with your role models. The problem is with a country that can't settle down to live in peace with itself, with its neighbours or with the world.
As far as leaving you alone is concerned, it was not my country that armed and sent in desperados of the worst kind. We didn't pick a fight with you in 65; read your own records. Every single one will confirm that it was blatant aggression on your part, sending commandos into Kashmir and then attacking across the international border (something, ironically, that you accuse us of doing, out of sheer ignorance). We didn't grab the border heights and start a shooting match, any more than we were training and arming to grab the glaciers through a pre-emptive move. And, most of all, we don't have a vast organisation training idiots to go and die in Kashmir.
And you have the fucking cheek to talk about us leaving you alone?
Gladly, mister, be as alone as you want. Why didn't you think of this and do this sixty something years earlier? If you had, today, we would be kissing your collective arse with gratitude and thankfulness.
Good luck being alone. I hope you can convince the others. I doubt it, but good luck anyway. The way you have landed up, you need all the luck you can get. Plus the goodwill of peaceniks like me, who don't get tired of getting kicked in the teeth every single frigging time, and who keep coming back trying to get things peaceable again.
