Re: Could Indian Army have Pakistan's best interests at heart?
The fact that India has fought 3 wars with Pakistan has led the Indian Col. to believe that the Pakistani army is professional and brave. That is the reason he is chiding Kiyani for meekly surrendering to the Taliban. To me it is less of an Indian telling a Pakistani, and more of a soldier telling another soldier.
End of the day, its your country. You can choose not to listen to what an outsider says even though it is true, just because he happens to be an Indian.
Classic case of 'ostrich' syndrome :p
No that means he is not a friend. It means he comes from an institution that sees Pakistan as the enemy. It has built is army to deal with Pakistan and he has served in that army. His views are biased, judgemental and not seen with the benefit of Pakistan at heart.
More importantly he does not know everything about the issue, he speaks like an outsider to a complicated matter.
Kinda like a doctor commencing an operation with out checking the patients history or medical background.
