What was your question again?

@AM: " Please, surely you see how none of the above is enough to implicate Saeed in a court of law. You cannot tie in 'Exact locations, dates. times and who his company was, even what transpired" unless you can corroborate through multiple sources that all of the above occurred and the focus of...

OK. That is complicated. But since you have awoken the arm chair academic, here is an attempt: As things stand today, it is pretty bad. The old timer Kashmiri refers to area south of Pir Panjal mountain range as India and well Kashmir as Kashmir. You know if I meet them they will say, I have...

@Developero: I had to pick up on the Jewish center you highlighted. How do you think India-Israel relationship is going to play in the US? If Jews are powerful in the US and the Indian lobby is co-operating with the Jewish one, do you see a permanent tilt in US towards India? ---------- Post...

Yup that will be like a replay of China-Taiwan-US. US has Taiwan under a defence umbrella, against a powerful China. But why and this is just a hypothesis, this may not happen is China is not so far out ahead of India. Pakistan is not too far back (militarily) from India. In any case Pakistan...

Ah! Granted. But let me tell you this is still something developing. We have not heard the last from US policy makers yet. Dont also discount the immensely powerful nuclear energy lobby in the US who are all dollar eyed at the prospect of business with India. Hillary came here for 5 days...

@Developero: Access to the Indian ocean. Access to Iranian oil. Much easier access to the Middle East instead of going through the CARs. Ever heard of Kazakhistan China pipeline? China and India definitely want access to CARs which have energy. What has Pakistan to do in this? Other than...

@AM: For some reason Indians are hung up on his visit, or lack of, and I fail to see why, when there was nothing that he could have done that the Foreign Minister, who was already there, or a proper ISI or FIA/police investigative team could not have done or done better. Nope. It is just a...

@AM: "A private concern run 'professionally' would have voting rights based upon the initial capital put in by the respective nations. To ask for greater voting rights in such a concern when you have equal or less capital invested just won't fly. But is that your idea of a 'lop sided...

@Developereo: "Perhaps you slept through geography class?" Perhaps I did. Care to explain what you have to offer with your 'strategic location' that China does not already have? Are you saying China has only one friend in the world? That they cant find alternates to Pakistan? Do you even think...

You see there are many levels at which one has to operate. There is me as an individual and a larger community of Indians. If you were to ask me I would say the relationship has to have mutual respect as a cornerstone with some deference towards India, for eg if it was a private concern run...

@AgNoStIc MuSliM: " Structured, long term institutional contacts - something that Gen. Pasha alluded to in inviting his RAW counterpart, and not some spur of the moment dash to the other capital immediately after some incident. " I was hoping you would spill the beans and just say that the...

Size may or may not matter. Social standing among the comity of nations definitely does. That is why today South Korea/Japan etc rank above Pakistan/India. India's stature is growing with time, while the same cannot be said about Pakistan. So many in India & Pakistan feel India-Pak will be a...

What part do you find hard to believe?

@AgNoStIc MuSliM: " Which official we choose to send is our prerogative - Gen. Pasha was not going to work miracles by going to India, and as the following comment from you underscores, would like have been utilized as a propaganda tool in any case. I fail to see what the bruhahah over not...

Is there something you still dont understand?

I find it hard to imagine how you could expect any lenient treatment when Pakistani nationals so brutally assaulted India's soft under belly. Did you fail to see how charged the whole atmosphere was?

Yes but why did the Pakistan Govt back track on sending Mr Pasha? There was a flip flop. some rethinking. What happened? Your perspective on India un-necessarily beating war drums is something I can contend with. That may be owing to election realities and that the Indian Govt wanted to be...

What have you been smoking all this while? The discussion is about the NOW. Read the article again. Durrani was speaking in Delhi today, his views are current- considering not some fictitious future world in which Pakistan is the lone superpower, but the hard reality of today. Care to face...

Why are you doing this? How hard is it for you to draw a parallel between cracking down on Lal Masjid and prosecuting Hafiz Saeed? Or are we dealing with double standards here?
