OT Ratan -- both India and Pakistan made mistakes in how they dealt with the U.S. Here's the realpolitik of what they did wrong: India's mistake was not bribing American politicians, like China has done. Apparently, both the Republicans and Democrats must have received funds from China or how else would you explain the Congress giving China "Most Favored Nation" status after Tianmen Square? And, both the Republican President George Bush, and the Democrat Bill Clinton have been cozy with China, a brutal dictatorship. Given how things are done in China, the Chinese probably had no problem with bribing American officials -- the only thing that must have seemed strange to them was the method, contributions for political campaigns. Pakistan's mistake was thinking that it was still a U.S. ally after our government (particularly the CIA) gave more than a billion dollars a year to the Pakistani military, in order to fund the Mujahideen fighting the Soviets in Afghanistan in the 1980s. After the conflict ended, the U.S. lost interest in supporting the military regime in Pakistan. Anyone remember President Zia ul-Haq? Paul M.
