Hey Mushhead, Claim The Nizam's jewels. It is your right -JPR Mushhead RiffRaff Musharaff's Nuisance value has been so high that he wangled a meeting with President Bush. Vajpayee also agreed to have a meeting with the general to talk over basmati rice and chicken tikka masala. What are they going to talk about is well known. Why pakistan is not claiming the Nizam's jewels is a puzzle? The Indian Govt got them at fire-sale prices. I wish Pakistan claims the Nizam's jewels and thereby the Indians can get away from the subject of Kashmir. We will hear the same soothing but useless statements like the pakis had a special relationship with US etc. The pakis will become rapturous and go bananas at such statements. Pakistan has no intrinsic value for US at this moment. It is like a pain in the ass to be treated with soothing lotions. Any which way you move it hurts. Democracy, Taliban, bin Laden, narcotics, Jihadists, terrorism originating in Pakistan, China-Pakistan missile technology transfer, Pakistan's penchant to supply military technology to Arab nations might be some of the subjects that are worth talking about. Israel won't sit and watch any such transfer to the Arab nations. Neither will the US or the world. Musharaff's one-track and unifocal obsession with Kashmir is the life-blood of his tenure. Once the mushhead starts making rational decisions on multi-faceted Indo-pak relations, he will be kicked out by the tarnished military brass and replaced with another general with incurable unifocal Kashmir mania. Pakistan's military is self-perpetuating to the exclusion of national interest, good neighborly and international relations. Pakistan needs an enemy to keep the tugging centrifugal forces tenuously together. India fits the bill very well from the time of Pakistan's birth to the eternity of time. Many of the Pakistan's military brass have tasted defeat at the hands of Indian military. The bad after-taste is still clinging to their mouth and mind. Until death, they will not forget this humiliation. Musharaff is no exception. Pakistan's military is the one and only cohesive force against all the fissiparous elements. When the money runs out, the country is maimed by civil unrest, the disparate elements scatter, and the military is reduced to a scruffy rag-tag outfit, Pakistan will become a failed dream. A nation based and built on religion, hate, suspicion and oligarchy is doomed to fail.
