So basically what u are saying is that we should have compromised our national security to make the muslim world jubliant?, we didnt become the strongest conventional and nuclear power in the muslim world by bieng stupid, it was a rough journey riddled with the blood of martyrs, the scars of sacrifice still etched on the body of this blessed nation. The important thing is that we walked alone on this thorny path, alone as ever, outnumbered like the warriors of badr, extraordinary tales of resiliance and persistence faced with overwhelming odds.
We are not driven by emotion nor is the blood of Pakistanis so cheap that it be spilled so that an Arab sitting besides his pool in his gold slippers could feel good at how the muslims have spanked the mushriks in an age when defeat and humiliation has become the norm in the Islamic world.
Now that we have got foolish romanticism out of the way, lets get to real facts, we do not have the reserves to fight a large scale conventional war, evidence has revealed that some 3rd parties were involved in pushing India ahead, Indians bieng there usual chankya self are not so easy to ignite but had we sunk thier sub or delivered a reaction too extreme then they wouldve been forced to go all in. The lack of capital on our side to fight a large conflict wouldve resulted in catastrophic consequences for Pakistan no matter how capable our Airforce or Military might be, they cannot fight without supplies which is exactly what happened in 71.
We avoided this conflict just as Prophet(pbuh) didnt march on Mecca despite bieng attacked 3 times in Medina. He(pbuh) only did so when victory was certain. We have been cocky in the past with opps likes Gibaraltor and kargil where we went in half cocked. The state has learned from these mistakes and has smartened up.
The response of PAF was cold, calculated and more extreme than the Indian initial agression, but it was not extreme to the extent that India wouldve been forced to continue this conflict. We exposed and humiliated them infront of the entire world. This was played to perfection by our side for a change, an indication that these past 15 yrs of war on terror were a blessing in disguise and have lead our state to grow those silver hair of wisdom, the state of Pakistan is no longer the hot blooded young man but a wise old man that has seen one too many young men ( who believed they were invincible) meet there ends before time.
As i said some one was pushing the Indians, the Indians were smart enough to take the beating and back off.
This conflict panned out for us just as the structures of Michelangelo panned out for him, Perfecto.
Well written post. Thanks. +1
