Things between India and Pakistan look so rosy but not in a very distant pass the two countries were about to go to war and faced a threat of mutual destruction, in those days when everyone condemned Mush and things look real bad we wrote this piece, it looks very appropriate that this very realisation was indeed reached by the very pragmatic Indian leadership under the prodding’s of USA, when forces were dagger drawn and Indian massive build was about to derail the war on terror, it was gentle handling of crisis by the Americans that kept the two nations focussed on not becoming hostage to the terror outfits. Today we are achieving objective of peace but those who helped cannot be forgotten.
Peace today in South Asia wouldn’t be possible without helping hand-Ideas are vain if one cannot go back and test the grain of the thought with momentum and path of trajectory of events- we do take this little satisfaction that our moderate stance has made several mistakes but more often than not stand itself vindicated from test of times...

Bin Laden's ultimate twin towers are Pakistan and Saudi Arabia
Indian massive build up is helping him achieve his objective!
by Iqbal Latif
Pakistan’s anti-terrorist posture is once again under scrutiny as India- Pakistani tensions over Kashmir, which is a potential nuclear flash point, flare up. The recent Indian assertions, that President Musharraf is not a genuine ally in the global war on terrorism, is a blatant endeavour to undo the perseverance and resolve shown by the Pakistani President since post 11th September in the changed international milieu. The Indian move is an incredibly irresponsible self-centred action, which does not take into account the global ramifications of a destabilized Pakistan. A coup or change of government in Pakistan may bring about a new round of enduring national unpredictability and propel fringe fanatics closer to the corridors of power. The charges that President Musharraf has not done enough and has failed to clamp down on infiltration, across the disputed territory of Kashmir, trivializes the significant struggle which Pakistan underwent in order to contribute to the reining of the tentacles of Global Terrorists Inc. under Osama bin Laden. The bigger picture of continuing war against global terror cannot be overlooked! That war has far bigger horizon beyond present bilateral problem of Kashmir, it has collateral impact on global economy and future of the sheikhdoms in the Middle East and oil are all linked to the continuing war against global terror. |
