I see some members again raising the same old bogeys to justify every sin.
No other countries have nuclear weapons in South Asia. Where has India gone and done a Gaza? Pakistan supported Taliban almost did that in Afghanistan in the futile quest for "strategic depth" and destroyed that country for decades. Even now that overreach is leading to the deployment of state supported terrorism as a means to get the elusive strategic balance with India.
Then the pet peeve Kashmir where despite having committed every sin in the world and made the life of the Kashmiris hell for decades by sending in terrorists of all shades and hues, one still has the gall to talk of morality and legality. The same endless raag of long defunct UN resolutions is sung again and again, to what end! It was a non binding UN resolution that could never be implemented for reasons repeated endlessly. There must be hundreds of such resolutions if not thousands. Who cares!
Just because one has convinced oneself of some assumptions by endlessly repeating some self righteous arguments in one's mind doesn't make the assumptions true. To start questioning those assumptions may seem impossible and will likely negate everything one has learnt and imbibed all his life, it may still be necessary.
The current posture of Pakistan is not sustainable. You need others to subsidize you for maintaining the posture. Not a small subsidy at all. My understanding is it is to the tune of 25% of your military budget or more. That carries costs which may be more than you may want to bear at times. The others may lose interest at other times.
If we leave all else, it may ultimately come to the capability of Pakistan to sustain that posture. I doubt they can despite all their efforts and likely causing great harm in the process. To themselves and to others in the region!
I feel Pakistan will need to change this posture. It is up to them to opt for a managed change that is less painful or one that is forced on them by circumstances beyond control. That may not be painless at all!
Let me tell you to stop right here. The hatred filled in you seems to have clouded your judgement. Pakistan was not the only country to support talibans, why did you forgot to mention the americans here or the CIA? Also Pakistan's action resulted into the destruction of afghanistan, again you couldnt be more wrong because if anone who left Afghanistan alone was the US and pakistan alone did not had the resources that were required for the construction of a wartorn country. We however did all we could and it makes absolute sense that what little we would do, we made sure that our interest are served, thats the rule of day. Tell me one country that does the opposite or would have done the opposite. Wasnt US doing the same when it supported the talibans against communism and is still doing example supporting dictatorship in Egypt while ranting about democracy for the rest of the world. Same stands for India.
SO what is all this whining for, it is because of this typical mindset of Indians, that we can never move further in peace related process between India and pakistan.
