First of all, thank you for your kind words.Sorry to hear about your loss.
I feel you have some facts mixed up. Maybe Kaiser Tufail can correct you there.

That was an interesting read and a reply is due. Will reply shortly.
I'm a 2000 born and have not seen any of the wars, I was in Pakistan when the 2007/8 tensions happened and remember watching F-16, F-7 and Mirages flying over Lahore, Infantry regiments were put into action near the border, I remember seeing all that... There was eminence amount of patriotism and nothing wrong with that. I admit that I become very patriotic over Pakistan, sometimes more than needed...An excellent post; there are some facts to be set right, and @randomradio has placed an appropriate narration before us all, but they do not affect your underlying theme, that peace is better than war. Even more, even the country that thinks it has won has to pay an awful price for it.
As for your last paragraph, some of us, both Pakistani and Indian, have been dedicated to that hopeful and optimistic thought, and we continue to be hopeful and optimistic.
Pakistan and India will always have certain problems, one being Kashmir... I'm sure you will call Kashmir as India's land and I will call it Pakistan's land; the exact reason it's called disputed territory... However Pakistan and India could be good friends still... Both countries have bigger problems to solve, poverty, terrorism and corruption to name a few.
The US and Canada have border disputes but they seem to get alone well and it's mutually beneficial to both nations.
