You yourself just acknowledged that India is way ahead. Yet you expect Pakistan to be treated the same way... that is unrealistic.
I'd rather have government that operates within the expectations of what is reasonable than one that expects unrealistic treatment.
Did you read the article? When the writer mentioned the deal with India, did you see what he said when Pakistan asked for a similar deal, ofcourse not as grand. They said no because they were concerned with the proliferation and terrorism in the country. Now I know you would still blame the people running the show in the 90s, but did it ever occur to you that all this negative hype happened primarily during Musharrafs reign, and all this proliferation was happening right under his nose, with his consent. We got all that aid didnt we? What happened to all that? We cant just continue to blame 4 years of NS government for all the mess that we've seen in the last 9 years of dictatorship.
