Its in Pakistan's best interest to support the Bahrain government. If the local rebels overthrow the Bahrain government, Bahrain will become another Iran and we all know that today's Pakistan-Iran relations is not the same as Pakistan-Iran relations during the Shah era.. today's Iran along with some other countries are not the best wishers of Pakistan.
We need the Gulf countries to be peaceful with Pakistan because our Balochistan coast is not that far from the Gulf.
Pakistan should do what it can to safeguard its interests in the region, if that means sending troops to Bahrain to fight rebels, then so be it. Good for us and our growing relations with the Bahrain government.
I beg to disagree. With Iran we are entering into long term relationship starting from gas pipe line project. It would not be in the best interests of both countries to sabotage the increasing bilateral relationship. If you talk about best wishes, then we should also not forget that much of the Pakistan suffering today comes from saudi funded ideology in our maddrass thanks to Zia. UAE for e.g does not want to see gawadar developed. We like to blame India and US for everything but its about time that these two countries also get their fair share of blame, after all certain terrorists are still getting funds from these countries.
