I know. Iran was probably our closest ally back then. They even allowed our fighters to cross over into Iran during the 1965 war. Iran gave us full logistic support even giving us spare parts for fighters and aviation fuel. Iranian nurses came to Pakistan to look after our war injured soldiers. In fact did more than what one can expect from a ally. Then disaster 1979. Although things had been tapering off sometime bore that but 1979 was the rupture. They went all revolutionery with "Margeh Amerika" and we jumped in bed with the Americans. However I believe we are now on path to reorientation and in time will align again. Of course it is going to take time and we have to get past the 30 odd years of cold relationship but the future looks positive.
Fact is Iran is Isreal and America nemesis. As we inch away from America toward Russia/China India moves closer to USA. This will result in the gap between us and Iran getting less and less. We also have to calm down on the sectarian rhetoric. Firsr because of our stability. We have 10-15% Shia and we don't want to have internal problems and second it would help in our relationship with Iran. We must stress "
Muslim" not Shia/Sunni.
@bozorgmehr I think your future is bright. What you said about the Iranian Mullah regime being the best adverisement of secularism is true. Your younger populace appears to be very secular so that looks promising.
