Re: Is India not a threat to Pakistan? (Split from AAZ interview to WSJ thread)
Country A has:
- Been dealing with multiple simultaneous separatist movements since the day it was created, and has only managed to keep itself together though frank military suppression.
- Has significant problems with homegrown terrorism as well, with everyone from the Naxalites and Upper Caste militants to SIMI working to make it one of the top terrorist targets in the world.
- Is one of the only countries of the world with an elected official banned from entering the US on charges of sponsoring religious genocide.
- For all its talk of rapid economic growth, still can't manage to feed over 40% of its children (a rate higher than that of even Bangladesh, let alone Pakistan)...not surprising when nearly 80% of the population survives on less than $2/day.
- And for all its talk "great economical uplift for most of its population," actually has had a significantly slower rate of poverty decline over the past 15 years than in previous decades.
The only reason you're bragging so much about Country A is because of your personal biases against Country B.
