Pakistan - A dream unrealised

Pakistan was born with a religious identity, the dying revenge of the UK before it was thrown out of the subcontinent. It is a classic case that a nation should be born when it is ready to be a nation. Clearly it was not ready. Hence, since its birth decades ego, it has done very little to leave a lasting impression on the history of the world. The nation is rich in culture, yet lost its script. A nation is what its leadership is and clearly the leadership there lacks vision, passion and got no ability to go beyound the mundane business of short terms.

Its economics is in shamble. Somehow the leadership that be got obsessed with the dream of being equal in military might to much bigger India and that obsession showly but clearly crippled and stunted it grwoth all around. It showed that it can achieve if it sets its mind to something and became a nuclear power. It accepted that it would never be equal in any way with India and hence decided to shamelessly wage a proxy war on India. Its started bleeding India but hitting her like a coward. Terrorism got adopted as a national policy. However, like we know as in Dr Jeckil & Hide, the beast always goes out of control of the master and thus, it started suffering at the hand of terrorist.

Last few years, it has made some fatal miscalculations. It has survived on the dole of US, the price US pays it since those cold war days to keep Russia under watch.

When India complained in the world forums about the dastardly acts sponsored by Pakistan, it fell on deaf ears.

But now Pakistan decided that its state sponsored teorrism against India is a success and decded to use the same medicine on US. They didnt factor in that unlike the India who is rulled by spineless 80 and 90 year olds, US leadership is strong and they will call the bluff.

This is a chance for the world to straighten out the errant boy.
