I am sorry, may be I reacted too quickly but if you read a specific groups post on here, everything is NS and the current government's fault and I think that's flat out lying, which I don't like. So I might have reacted quickly. But to your point, this is a shared responsibility, between Media first, the political leadership (to create a positive, educated, solid national image) and then the government at that time, who then takes its support from the society and uplifts it during issues.
When a government of Pakistan brings this up to say the Americans, that look, we don't want to do "X" (any issue) because our citizens are in danger. Now if these guys have seen on tv how the nation stands together, how the leaders talk about maintaining peace and stability and resolving their differences in the Parliament or other democratic forums, no military tanks are rolling and machine guns are firing.....they get it. That this country, and her public will not tolerate the fact that due to our needs, a few of their people got killed. Because they know this society rather negotiate and talk to maintain peace, then hurt others.
So when they hear that message of stability, peace, negotiations, no violence, glorified by the media and presented by the government, they have no choice but to agree with it. No one wants a 200 million strong populated, growing country and a system with insane opportunities to be against them. That's losing opportunity.
A good example is the blasts of 98 that NS did. President Clinton called him many times and gave him a LOT of financial and other incentives, he took the call and asked for time. They talked again, more was offered, at times indirect consequences were mentioned too that the sanctions and all would be put on Pakistan. BUT, nothing happened beyond that as NS said, if he doesn't do it, 200 million people will blast his rule and he'll never come back. So has to do what the people want. President Clinton and the Japanese PM (two main people who pushed to limits right till the end), had to accept that fact that this is a decision of a united nation. If yo grow more anger towards them or get more aggressive, you'll lose Pakistan as a friend, as a market and as a strtategic partner. So this is everyone working together, the Media, the leaders and people following that peaceful and stable message and the government then glorifying "how peaceful Pakistan is, on international forums", like how India does.
Go read up on all Indian news paper online, every day. You won't see half the violence related stuff makes it to PDF somehow. The remove all that negative content so the readers reading their news papers and all, feel like India is another version of America, as everything is crafted carefully, no violence ever happens there. So these synergies have to be created and adapted in Pakistan also. People think I am a NS fan, I am not. I am a Pakistan's fan, whoever is going the work, lets see it in the light of how it helps Pakistan. Not what I or someone else for our political advantage can criticize it and bring in negativity to downgrade its importance.
problem is who even takes Pak (oops East China) seriously these days. Whatever RAW does, doesn't measure up to the mess-ups of ISI and PA. Between the mess-ups and the chaos thereof, RAW can continue to function freely.
