Just Dump the Basket....
Since a long time international experts and foreign affairs mandarins have acknowledged that Pakistan is a basket case. Now, I would ideally not use this slang for any nation or a person for that matter, but Pakistan warrants this adjective. Its not only an economic basket case, but also a cultural and political. The funny part is that even though seesawing on the brinks of bankruptcy regularly it still has the capacity or the will to pursue disruptive activities towards it larger and peaceful neighbour, India.
Its a different story altogether that India's leaders have always failed to match up to their Pakistani counterparts' slyness and treachery. But sometimes you have to just sit back and admire the way Pakis manage to tread that fine line which enables them to get away with its various acts of terrorism while on the same time pretend to be one of the allies in the War on terror. I mean are the Americans actually that dumb? I mean everyone knows that the Yankees are dumb, rather that their leaders are dumber and are the single biggest contributors to the mess the world finds itself in. But still you have successive American governments carrying on supporting Pakistan's hunger for weapons and funds under the guise of an economic package and aiding its fight against the terrorists. Everyone knows F-14s and other American fighter aircraft are not useful against the terrorists hiding in the valleys & the plains of NWFP. But yet, you have the dumb Americans doing it again & again. You had Obama the great pretender, claiming to be different but he has done nothing different than what the Bush was doing earlier.
The Pakis know that Americans need them more than the Pakis needing the Americans because they find themselves in a very favourable position where they have their strongest friend China backing them up every time America abandons them.
But I still feel the world leaders have to take some strict action as the Pakis are fooling the western powers and the pathetic thing is that all the major players are aware of it but are doing nothing. I mean, the US doesn't sweat a bit when trying to invoke sanctions against N Korea, Iran, Iraq,etc but the Basket case is off limits I guess.
I feel the Basket case has to be dumped before it causes any further damage. There is also no point trying to patronise this dump of a country by trying to engage in any talks with them.
