Pakistan wont survive a direct war because of its economy, whereas India could give very hard time to Pak.Typically, for at least in my life, i have never seen this much consensus between the civilian and military establishments on India. Indians can't be blamed for believing in 'India unites Pakistan' myth, however what 'i' see coming is a possible period of hostilities. India has done its best to destroy Pakistan through covert proxies, and now a confident Pakistan, wants to pay back. If there are no saner heads around, it wont be long before we find ourselves in a state of direct war.
