Im just worried 'bout how the things r goin in South-East Asia.Look at the European Union.They worked together for a better economy,common currency and a stable society.We r doin' just the opposite in South-East Asia.India screams at the top its voice level when some high-grade military equipment is sold to Pakistan,Pakistan does just the same when something is bought by India.We fail to notice that its a foreign power which is fueling this arms race.
I dont blame US for wat it is doin'.If there is a market,there is demand for goods then the goods will be sold by an agent willing to make some money out of it.Thats standard business policy.Its we the people is SE-Asia who should determine what is good for us.
The JSF offer by itself is too lucrative an offer to reject.Im quite sure PAF would also like to have some of them if they were offered,and i believe even PAF will be eventually offered someday.Why?? because its just good business.
While we(both India and Pakistan) go for these massive arms purchase,we put a strain on our economy,and contribute to the economy of a third party.
The greatest wealth of a country is its people.Lot of great things can happen when the people unite and stand for what they believe in.
Instead of working against each other we all should rather work alongside each other,so that the situation for arms race and even a possible war may not even arise in future.Frankly speaking,with the present generation weapons,none of us r in a position to afford any full-blown war.
Let us give our best cooperation to peace processes initiated by the people like "Aman ki Asha",let us all work together for a better economy,a better future.
It wont be an easy thing to do,but would be a miracle and an example for generations to come if we achieve peace in the region and confidence over each other..Its easy to pickup a gun and shoot.. u just have to pull the trigger..but difficult to save a dying man...
The newer generation should work on to bring peace otherwise someday we will all end up destroying ourselves...
