The world is a crazy place. People are forever manipulated by wily politicians. These are the hard facts staring at people in most countries. The enemy is within.
Politicians are no holds barred to get their way and stay in the limelight. For Pakistanis, any anti India posturing will just get the votes. Any amount of hate without any basis to facts or accountability sells. Our politicians also indulge in similar fashion pitting one religion against other or within the religions.
Unless, these evils can be eliminated, people will pay the price. So many innocent people have been killed by these instigators, but the culprits survive forever.
Benazir wanted to be in power and was willing to use her people. She had always targeted India, though her own Zia pulled the lever suffocating her father. That is the irony. Pakistan is worse than us, as the majority are gullible. They can be repeatedly fooled by rhetorics as any peace with India will deal a blow to the very reason of their survival. Mushie and earlier leaders have no shame in approaching China, which is a communist country and hence atheist, with a begging bowl. But they play the religious card at home when it matters.
At the end of the day for Benazir, the anti India posturing was the lifeline as all others would fail, as being a woman in an Islamic country, was her greatest drawback. She paid with her life at the end. Her family party, PPP is also doomed and only further chaos is the reality.
