For a country that is at the brink of financial disaster (come end of july without western aid pakistan will default) it's either humiliation or self destruction.

Really? If only things were that simple! <G>

Take a look at the following article.

"Ex-ISI chief wants Pakistan to sell nuclear know-how."

timesofindia.com

This is what he says: "If the United States puts economic pressure we should declare moratorium on loan repayments....If the IMF and the World Bank have no compunction in economically drowning the nation of 14 crores then we must make it very clear that we will pay our debts and solve our economic problems by selling nuclear technology."

As P.G. Wodehouse would say, "Wheels within wheels within wheels", huh?! Will the sadhus and the swamijis ever get it?! The West will have no choice but to level the playing ground for Pakistan. Also, there will be intense pressure on India (after all, India is a big-time borrower too, the third or the fourth largest borrower in the world) to open the issue for mediation by the UN or the US.

Pakistan wanted to internationalize the Kashmir issue, and thanks largely to India for playing nuclear "Diwali" and raising tensions in the region, it has succeeded in that. That is the reality of the situation. And there's nothing that the NRI fundies or the "Hindutvawadis" or the sundry sadhus and the swamijis can do to change that.
