India has better things to worry about then Pakistan?!?!
A bit naive there my friend…
And keep waiting for the glory days of Afghan democracy. From what I can see, the Afghans are falling lock step with the Taliban once again oweing to the inherant weakness and corruption of their govt.
So a strong and friendly Taliban regime actually is preferable over a weak and corrupt Afghan democracy. One that is hostile towards Paksitan and indirectly facilitates the Taliban both there and in Pak.
Despite all you say, India DOES want strategic depth as its called… And Afghanistan being where it is makes it ideal. I never said that India was INVADING Pakistan tommorow. But its stupidity if you think they dont atleast want to have control over Pakistan or influence over her neighbors.
And read the history of Afghan PAK relations and you will relaize the amount of hostility the Afghans have had for PAKISTAN.
I think you underestimate Indias intentions. Do you not think that Indians regard Pakistan as a potential threat to their interests?!?!
As an example, I doubt the US is competing with North Korea. But that doesnt mean they dont want some influence in the region there…
Whether you like it or not, Pakistan still has actual security concerns. You can parrot the Indians all you like, but that doesnt change ground realites.
The Taliban taking control in Afghanistan doesnt necesarilly mean Pakistan is supporting extremists in its own country.
I would counter that having the Americans in Afghanistan, with a inept and corrupt and openly hostile govt in Kabul is what actually causing much of the trouble in Paksitan.
I would love to see a prosperous Afghan democracy. But that is not going to happen. And im not rooting for the Taliban, im just saying that having them in power in Afghanistan isnt the end of the world for Pakistan. Infact it might bring some stability back to the region.
Better the devil you know, then the devil you dont.
