Dr Singh's Stockholm Syndrome
by Santanu Nandy on Sep 18, 2006 09:55 PM   Permalink

Ok so we talk and talk and finally arrive at a "peaceful" solution to the kashmire issue. Next day Musharraf is killed in yet another coup and another despot takes over-promptly mutilates its own country's constitution and everything else. What value will the so called accord with enemy india have for him??

Or

The terrorists say we dont like this solution we need whole of india or something equally crazy and they start their activities all over again. What do we do? After all this time on we could not defeat them-we simply did not have the stomach, how will we defeat next time?

The point is Musharraf does not represent the terrorists, nor the people of the pakistan neither its constitution so with whom are we negotiating and for what? A country where the constitution is not sacrosanct, what value are these so called treaties?

No peace is achieved from a position of military weakness! We should defeat the terrorists, throwout the tin pot generals, ensure a represntative govt. in pakistan and then, maybe then, we can talk peace with it!!

But then thats a tough ask for our politicians. In 60 years we did not learn to take care of an impoverished rogue nation!!
