Dont expect to hear positive from the Indians.. BAGAL MAIN CHURRI MUNH MAIN RAAM RAAM...........
I could get the stick for this mail. But, what the heck... Even I have a right to opinion! I am sure at least some of you will agree that there are both kind of people in both of our countries... The Sensationalists (usually full of hatred and waiting to pull a fast one on the other side) and the simpler mortals (who genuinely believe in future and prosperity with Peace).. I am a simpler mortal, with one part of ancestary coming from Lahore and other from Delhi...
I think it is high time that the so called top-5 of the world stop their hypocracy and accept that Pakistan is a Nuclear State... Them not accepting this fact will not chage anything... 10 or 50 or 100 nuclear weapons makes no difference to that classification. There are tons of ways to secure nuclear resources and therefore a peaceful use of nuclear energy (not necessarily american, but essentially safer) for energy should actually be promoted... It helps infrastructure development, which will bring in money and that money will help in education and lifestyle of masses will improve and hopefully, some of that will definitely bring in some peace with contentment in each others company (Hopefully!)...
I also don't believe that theory that talibans with their rocket launchers can run over Pakistan Army... It's a mighty army with a strong history and a bunch of gun totting guys have no chance. The Amercian game of spreading fear mongering is only to sell some more weapons and nothing else. At the same time, you can not wish away the fact that the biggest threat that Pakistan has is from CIA & internal terrorism (some of us will put India there as well), and some of those (CIA essentially) enjoy more immunity than an average Pakistani in Pakistan and that hurts...
However, This has a deeper learning for us, Indians. The bottom line is, America has no 'friends', it only has 'interests' and at this stage, the interest is Money and thus India is a good friend... There is a joke in inside circles here that there is nothing called as 'good intentions' in America's foreign relations... So civilian Nuclear deal is to sell Nuclear plants and then to use that leverage to sell some planes and jets and guns... Basically, arm both sides to death and then get in as the guy who will rebuild after the war and profit from that as well... Hopefully, we, as two nations can sit down some day and reconcile our differences (yeah, beat me to death, but i won't give up this hope) and close this American business shop in South East Asia... I am not bringing in China here because that will earn me more shoes and I guess is a different topic altogether...
On weapons, it needed only 2 crude old fat ladies to stop WW-II... I think both Pakistan and India have way more than that to ensure that none of us get so adventurous... In my humble opinion, Pakistan has arguably an impeccable deterrent already and any new $$ investment should go to Pakistani economy, which then will be great for the region...
Call me crazy, but it is in America's biggest interest that India-Pak-China never get together... Just like Europe is trying... If we get that radical, we could kick world's knickers off! My rant's over... thanks for your patience!
