Supplying F-16's to both India and Pakistan will only escalate regional tension. Money spent on such hardware by both nations only sets us back in our struggle to become an intellectual and economic powerhouse in the region. The people of India and Pakistan need to put aside the need to clamor for military sofistication and work on mending relationships. There is no greater weapon in the fight for lasting peace than the weapon of mutual trust. If both countries spent the money being set aside to purchase these f-16's and instead spent it on educational and cultural exchange programs.....what a different world this would be....!!!!
