Kudos Kanchan for such a fantastic assessment of the US's pathetic attempt to skew the "comfortably unstable" strategic situation in South Asia further.
I'd like to add... there is good reason for not buying arms from the US... they tend to get USED in war! We all know that the US Pakistan policy is as shameful an example of diplomatic hypocrisy as can be imagined... but I'm guessing they need India to "cover" their bases with China long-term. So again, a snub would really rub their noses in it.
I agree fully, best not to get into bed with these guys because their is no question of any respect in the morning. We must realize that spawning war worldwide has played into their hands forever, and we don't want to see brand new conflicts of interests with our neighbours with the unsaid arbitrator playing the chief propagator of tension as usual.
We are a proud nation and we don't want to become an example for 2050 message board discussions on US warmongering. Let's leave that to Iraq and Iran - however harsh this may sound that's the price people pay for allowing their governments to prostitute themselves to the US government.
