Forget about the war part..dont you think a plain and simple economic blockade will bring Pakistan to its knees??I mean take a look at the situation,the Forex reserves of Pakistan can't stay afloat without regular relief packages from IMF/UK/US/ADB.If with the present reserves Pakistan can sustain its fuel costs for at max. a month,then what will happen after an economic blockade?Pakistan will be more like Afghanistan,broken into areas controlled by war-lords.
Of course you can still continue fighting,but then here we are talking about a catastrophe.Surely a common American will not feel the fangs of a blockade,but a common Pakistani will.
Now,if we can talk about the war part.Do you remember Berlin blockade?That happened long time ago,1948.USAF airlifted all the supplies to Berlin providing 4700 tonnes of supplies daily for whole one year.If that can be done way back in the late forties,imagine what can be done with the present generation technologies.
It will be wise to see that this situation never comes.
Do you have an idea why does Pakistan need aid?
To fight WoT. And why are we fighting against the TTP? Because they are demanding that we do not take orders from US and the lot.
Once, they stop the aid, we stop cooperating with them, we come to negotiate with the TTP and fulfill their demand that we dont take orders from US. We strike at their hideouts at OUR will, so, keeping in check our economic state.
Our economy might not boom unless someone competent comes in, but atleast it will stop declining so rapidly.
And US is NOT going to attack us people, get over it. No B-2's or Cruise Missiles or Tomahawks are gonna land in Karachi. The most that will happen is selective gunship ops in some areas, not more than 20 km from the border. No boots on the ground are gonna come.
Do you honestly think that 140,000 heavily advanced troops, with the most sophisticated machinery, cannot defeat 4000 donkey men with Aks? Really? Is that how incompetent the ISAF is?
