Re: American "Withdrawal" from AfPak: Analyzing the Fallout
My real question remains unanswered,what about those folks in frontier provinces who are already busy blowing up Pakis? Will they stop in their tracks as soon as US leaves and settle down for a 400% infidel-less Afg? or will the yankee exit make them feel invincible and start their march towards Is...

Re: American "Withdrawal" from AfPak: Analyzing the Fallout
I am not bothered with what happens in other parts of the world. I am extremely concerned what happens in India. What happens in India affects me, my family, my friends, my colleagues and my country. If Pakistan shenanigans in Afghanistan affected other countries only or affected us in a minor fashi...

Re: American "Withdrawal" from AfPak: Analyzing the Fallout
America's primary focus in afghanistan was and is Alqeda. Not Taliban. According to US the Taliban did not launch the attack on America, it was Alqeda who did. Now according to Americans the alqeda core has shifted to pakistan or pakistan-afghanistans border. And they want to concentrate on that. Th...

Re: Wiki Leaks on Af-Pak
These documents clearly show two things 1) America wants to fight this war on cheap. The reason being that there are many people in America who do not consider Afghanistan to be a priority or in its national interest.

Re: Indus Water Treaty
The Indus Water Treaty was flawed from day one. 1) It divided waters based on rivers and not based on proportion of the population which depends on the river. The Indian states of Rajasthan, Gujarat, Western Madhya Pradesh, were deprived of waters from Indus and its tributaries. 2) It allowed foreig...

Re: Are We Ready for a Two-front War ?
IMHO, we would not fare very well in a two front war NOW. But post 2020 (MKIs fully inducted, MMRCA, PAK-FA, Light Howitzers, Self-propelled Artillery, Pinaka, P-8s, Scorpenes, P-75I ,ATVs and Akulas......) ; we would more than give them a run for their money! The nature of the the beast is such th...
