I see no reason for Indian strategists to pursue the policy of encirclement of Pakistan with alliances with decadent state like Iran and importing Israeli nexus within sub-continent policy, India should help Pakistan and Indian- Pakistani relationships is what matters the most to people from north of India and we in Pakistan., That is what is required if these extremists elements calls are to be dismissed. Some meaningful progress in bilateral relations can help Mush lobby within Pakistan to grow. An 'Ayman' driven Pakistan as you see from this statement will be a real nightmare for India, as a neighbour ‘a moderate regimes’ helps keep the north western borders of India safe sans Kashmir but a militant Pakiland with hundred of millions discontented Muslims within Indian hinterland will commence a new journey to the bottom of the pit, the real twin towers as Sandy Berger once said are Saudis and Pakistanis, Ayman al Zahwari knows it well, knock these ‘not much liked regimes down’ and a recipe of disaster that will engulf the region is on cards, post 911 the revolution and violence initiated by Al Qaeda has been harnessed, they need cannon fodder and a new extremists regime, call to Pakistan is a call to find a new Saddam some where, the lost of rouge regimes within Crescent of instability is the biggest collateral damage that Al Qaeda could have suffered, in post Saddam ME, the present policies where likes of Ghaddafi have to pay in billions for his earlier crimes have made trigger free extremists regimes within Middle East a rarity, Zahwari call is a call of frustration, it represents successes that US have so far in chaining their liberty. However, all politics is local it is Indians who should pick the gauntlet instead of driving Pakistan to comer they should astutely make helpful arrangements through which they ensure a moderate government in Islamabad, that is what should matter to your hawk ‘Advani’ the most. India’s real enemy is not Pakistan they both can live together the real enemy are forces that want to destroy the secular fabric of the sub-continent. Our transition to moderation is a given fact, the grinding demands of time will make it happen, every nation will go through their renaissance in one way or the other, what we in sub-continent need to do is to ensure that lets keep that transition to moderation with times with minimum of fuss and bloodshed, our darker period of post partition 1947 bloodshed, however the challenge that region faces now is the transition of militancy to economic opportunities, the 150 m Muslims in India and other 300 million in the sub-continent need this next few decade of opening up to world without any major disturbances, in these transitional times moderate governments can help a lot, it is only through care and a long view of history that Indian can save itself from religious driven anarchy and fragmentation, the connection between Al-Qaeda designs and the policy of the extremists to fool the poorest division of Islam, resident in sub-continent has to be blunted by the elite of the Indian and the entire society of our region.The issue is should this moderation, secularism and respect of human life be achieved without our recreation of new 1947 or ethnic cleansing that Al Qaeda aims to achieves in the most dastardly of acts , we should face up to the challenges and steer our continent away from disasters of holocausts that can strike us, we should not carry the stigma of elimination of segment of humanity because we fall in to the trap led by these extremists, only collective security and a radically different view of Pakistan can help the sub-continent stave from this possible emerging scenario that Al Qaeda cherishes the most. I know that I had condemned Kargil, the intervention of Army when they removed Shariff however Mush honestly speaking is the best hope for Indian sub-continent and Mush not as a person but as a ‘thought process’ that has led to quite a moderate stance of a nuclear Islamic nation, it is this unique opportunity that as a neighbor India shoud not let it pass.
