Great article, we need to have our own strategic path and not kow tow the american idiocy. They have their own interests and they dont match ours. Iran is not our enemy, i dont care what anybody says. I still remember the day when the OIC was going to go the extent of oil embargo against India instigated by pakistan. Iran was our only ally there and they skillfully destroyed that whole motion for us. I am not saying they are our all weather friend but at least they are reasonable. I would say that the Israelis have been reasonable with us as well. We cant pick sides. Being americas sidekick gets us nothing.
I think we should talk to pakistan about afghanistan because taliban doesent think on their own, their brains lie in Islamabad. I think India and Pakistan can have a mature relationship, take a leadership role in south asia. My dream is the day when India and Pakistan can respect each others interests and strengths mutually and become allies. Pakistan cannot defeat India militarily and India doesnt need Pakistani lands. This alone should be sufficient to develop a friendship.
