I agree whole heartedly with Sapper about enemity and preparing for the worst. See , vested interests on both side HAVE been playing up this enemity and making it into something it is not. When I was a young boy I used to think that a Pakistani was a tall bearded blood thirsty scoundrel who killed innocent women and children!!! Point being if a ten year old thinks that there must be something wrong. I am sure it would have been similar in Pakistan. It is the internet which has opened up avenues. I also salute Sapper for his sincerity in admitting that most Pakistanis are SCARED of India. Now if this be true, then I believe it must be India who has to work to dispel this fear. Having said this, I wont comment on the political, or realistic possibility in this ever happening.
I dont agree with Red Dwarf in the fact that the Kashmir issue cannot be resolved through talks. It may or may not be. But a war takes a lot decision making and escalation matrices are made. I frankly do not think any realistic commander will ever WILLINGLY start an ALL OUT war KNOWING fully well that it may become nuclear. Also I dont think India will EVER attempt to destroy Pakistan. India is NOT such a nation. All the posturing aside, I believe this to be a fact.
And finally a factor which MAY prove to be common to both in the future is TERRORISM. This soon will be the single most potent and terrifying enemy that we both will have to face. Now I am ready to believe that some terrorism on either side may be sponsored by the other, bit not all. And the terrorism(actual not sponsored) is only going to be on the rise. Now whether India and Pakistan join hands or not on this only time will tell, but it is a problem which can be most efficiently tackled by joining hands.
After all this can some one tell me more about the latest Pakistani acquistions in the field of Military aviation? other than the jf-17. ??
Dear,
We (Pakistanis) have vested interest to preserve our freedom, Independence, sovereignty and most of all, our identity i.e. Pakistan. We will go to any lengths to save our Motherland from any threat, both internal or external.
We have already suffered a great great loss when our Internal politics and rivalries allowed India to exploit our brethren in East Pakistan to break our unity. We will never make that mistake again !!! Never ever ... and don't ever think that India has never tried it again. My father and mother have both served in Pak Army (both are retired Lt. Col) and lots of my friends and family are still in service. We have lots and lots of evidence on Indian involvement in Baluchistan (since mid-late 70's), in AJK (since 80's) and in NWFP (since early 2000's). We are SCARED that soon we will have to defend our motherland against aggression once again, and we will have to defend our unity once again.
You have already gotten an good idea of how much i hate war (from my previous post), and how afraid i am that the next war will bring unimaginable destruction to both sides, but mark my word, Pakistan Army will never try to instigate an all-out war with India. On the other hand, it will always try to come at par with Indian Army to prevent any misadventures from foe.
Do you know that a massive land attack was found imminent on Bahawalpur sector (early this year, during surgical strikes hype), and timely intelligence enacted army to mobilize its infantry and armored brigades as well mobilization of cobra gunships and PAF squadrons to undisclosed FOBs. I have on good authority that these actions were taken only hours/days before the Indian offensive was expected, and monitoring these actions, the Indian Army calling its troop movements an exercise called off its troops from the border. It could have possibly been to force Pakistan to call off its troops from Swat (Operation Rah-e-Rast) to safeguard its investment in militants there. But either way, another war was almost thrust upon Pakistan by India, across international border, thankfully the events unfolded in both of our favor (India+Pakistan), we dodged a bullet ... but that might not be the situation next time.
I pray for both of our sake that we don't have to face war between India and Pakistan.
and lastly on terrorism ...
Terrorism is an evil beyond belief, beyond reason but not beyond comprehension. Terrorism has its roots in illiteracy, poverty and injustice. India is way ahead than Pakistan in all these aspects and thus will face very few terrorism incidents from some hardliner factions who are working for some bigger-than-self cause (e.g. freedom movements, racial movements etc). Pakistan will continue to face terrorism in much greater frequency, but it will start to die down after their strongholds in FATA are thwarted and supply lines cut. After USA leaves Afghanistan, it will subside even more rapidly. But, as long as Pakistan has the current high levels of illiteracy and poverty, a few incidents are bound to happen.
Regards,
Sapper
May Peace prevail between all nations, races and creeds of this Earth.
