This is indeed troubling news. I had a feeling something would be coming our way as soon as I read the news this morning.
What's funny is, in that famous (or infamous) interview with Express News, Gen. (R) Parvez Musharraf said these words: "we are well aware of what Indian consulates in Kandahar, Jalalabad and even Zahedan are up to". Going by that, I'm guessing this accusation will not surprise the ISI one bit. What coincidence that this accusation, along with the accusation of presence of anti-Iran militants in Balochistan, comes 1 day after Pakistan begins a large scale offensive inside its own borders.
Iran and Pakistan have a united cause right now, squashing the fabricated but growing separatist movement inside Balochistan and Sistan and Baluchestan. They will not be doing themselves much favor getting on the wrong side of Pakistan. This is one of the few countries in the world that is sympathetic towards their nuclear cause, they will jeopardize that if they blame their failures on us.
It's like our Government has sunk to a new level where we are being "Summoned" for every little problem in the region, and we're being dictated by every other group of imbeciles around us. Besides, how does a blast in Iran benefit Pakistan?
Well, it is the right of any country to summon the ambassador of another country. You can't blame our government for that, what was the going to do? ignore the summon? What's surprising here is that their President and Foreign Minister are both tying to pawn this off on us, which
should, ideally, trigger a
very strong response from our President and Foreign Minister. But I don't think our current Pres and FM have the spine, or even the will, to do any such thing. Unfortunate, really. Back in the day, nobody would have gotten away with such an unverifiable accusation against Pakistan (just ask the Indians).
It's moronic for anyone to believe that Pakistan would sponsor terrorism in Iran.
Precisely. But that isn't going to stop our neighbors to the East from milking this cow dry. I guarantee it.
