Pakistan and India have been diverting their scant resources in fighting each other for the past 60 years, instead of developing their countries and improving the lot of their people.That is no news.
To say that Pakistan is spending money intended for fighting terrorosm for confronting India is a total rubbish.This is just to keep Pakistan on the defensive. If that is so,then how is Pakistan paying for maintaining 90,000 of its troops on the Pakistan -Afghan border; for the acts of terror committed against Pakistan Government,its officials,police,army and civilians ;for the support and maintenance of millions of refugees displaced from Afghanistan,all due to US war in Afghanistan ?
What US is paying for the expense involved for Pakistan keeping its troops on the border is just a fraction of what is costing US to maintain the same number of troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.
US is spending $ 14 billion a week in Iraq and Afghanistan. What US has paid Pakistan in 7 years is 5 billion.
Pakistan should ask for more money for refugee problem and compensation for losses due to acts of terrorism.
Pakistan did accept all the refugees which were allowed to travel to Pakistan in 1947.Most of them who were totally defenseless,hungry, poor,walking on foot;on backs of donkeys,overloaded trucks and trains were brutally massacred by the brave Indians.
Nobody asked Hindus,Sikhs to leave Pakistanin 1947.Those who stayed in Pakistan are just as valued citizens like the rest of them.
Then India created Kashmir problem,agreed to plebiscite and reneged,massacred another 80.000 innocent Kashmiris in fake police -military encounters,kidnappings,extra judicial killings no diferent than killing about 100,000 Sikh youngsters during days of Khalystan movement and organized discrimination of Sikhs ever since; posting 500,000 military troopers in Kashmir to suppress the political voice and conscious of the Kashmiris.
USA can attack sovereign countries like Iraq and Afghanistan,kill one million Muslims since 1990 and it is not terrorism.
The only means Muslims have to fight back the war thrust upon them is through suicide bombings.When Muslims fight back with the only means they have,they are labelled as terrorists.
If self defense or defense of your country is terrorism,then so be it.

Where are nationalists in Pakistan ? The ruling elite is a clusture of rogues to loot the public property and silence the common masses through mullahs and threaten to throw them before terrorists, if they start liking democracy !
