Creation of Pakistan was a blunderous conspiracy hatched by the West to continue its policy of divide and rule and ensure their presence in the sub-continent through a weak and pliable Palistani State.This artificial construct state could never become a Nation and remained a "puppet" of USA used by them as a base of operations against the former USSR.Ironically it is now engaged in trying to destroy the very forces it had created to defeat Russia in Afghanistan without much sucess leaving Pakistan in a state of turbulence and turmoil. The current level of violence has taken the country on the threshold of a full scale civil war threatening the very existence of the state as a civilised country.It is to be seen whether a country deeply divided ethnically and at war with itself can survive as a single entity or breaks up in small individual units under the control of extremists/fundamentalists and foreign powers like China and USA.In such an eventuality we may have to be ready to act in unison with USA to assert our authority and work towards a re-merger as a federation or at least a confederation with that country.We must remain alert and prepared for all possible eventualities including a long drawn out militant conflict and strife within Pakistan which may spill over in our country in some measure.
