interesting article by someone who is a former Secretary and was * a former ambassador to the US, India and China and head of UN missions in Iraq and Sudan.* Sensible article but who will tell this to our General Gul and Moulana Hafiz Saeed, the eternal folks asking for warfare. Kashmir, something we could not win in few successive wars, and wants it via the negotiation table (muzakarat).
and who will tell this sensible view to BJP who thrives on pakistan animosity and always creates war hysteria. what india has been doing on our borders for so many months is simple stupidity…
So basically if I compare both indian and Pakistan govts as to which govt is more friendly than the other, its clearly the Pakistan who has got the edge.
Indian leadership comprises of narrowhead extremists who hate minorities and consider Pakistan as the biggest enemy or target. How can there be peace with such attitude?
Pakistani leadership is much lenient towards India just in an effort to keep peace as it has already too many things to deal with. But the problem is, there are multiple elements in Pakistan who try to influence decisions made in Islo so just to make sure there is no lasting peace as it may hurt their personal interests.
Hopefully if democracy prevails in Pakistan there'll be more peace and better relations, atleast from our side.

You've got to be kidding. It was the BJP govt led by Vajpayee that was talking peace with Pakistan in 1999, when Pakistan pulled a Kargil. And then you wonder why the Indian govt and public doesn't trust Pakistan.

You have to reread my post my friend. I mentioned Pakistani leadership as more friendly towards India which is the PM NS who was also the premier to welcome Vajpayee during "bus-diplomacy" days. Kargil's venture was not his decision at all, it was purely the evil plan of Musharraf as he has accepted it many times. And thats why i mentioned the "forces" who try to influence pakistani leadership's decisions and to say it out loud these forces are Pakistani spy agencies and military.

Duly noted :D
However, let me also repeat that it was a **BJP Government **that was talking peace with Pakistan in 1999. This is probably our best chance for peace in decades - India has a strong leadership with mandate from the people. Ensuring lasting peace with Pakistan will be a feather in the cap for Modi government, so Pakistan should not let its prejudice against Modi/BJP get in the way of a mutually beneficial relationship.
I'd luv it if Modi keeps the narrow mindedness and hatred he's shown in the past aside and make his witty decisions to make this region more prosperous economically which is in the best interest of both Pakistan and India.
And the common thing b/w Modi and NS is they are both buisnessman so let it be, you know you cant have good buisness if there is no peace. Just keep moving forward and make this region a great example better than east and west Germany
