The danger of woolly headed dreamers.

Pakistan has lost five wars with India, namely in prosperity, longevity, lowering of fertility rate, openness of economy and childhood mortality rate, wrote R Saran. Now that former cricketer Imran Khan is set to become prime minister India should help Pakistan become stronger. "For instance, Indian companies should be allowed and encouraged to hire from top Pakistan campuses, even for one or two years." "Aspiring cricketers in Pakistan will dream of playing in IPL if we unblocked their entry. A budding artist (actors, singers, comedians...) in that country will look forward to hitting the big stage in India, if we don't hum and haw over granting him a visa." How is that going to benefit India? "We should want average Pakistanis to see India as a source of good to them. They will then begin to resent whatever power comes between that 'good' and them -- whether that power is in Rawalpindi or Islamabad or Beijing -- or even Srinagar." Firstly, Imran Khan is a puppet of the army which got the Supreme Court to put Nawaz Sharif and his daughter Maryam in prison. But, even that was not enough so the Election Commission did not allow party representatives to be present during counting of ballots and delayed announcing results. Even as Gen Pervez Musharraf, then President of Pakistan, pretended to be on a peace mission to India in 2005, he had brought along members of ISI and Laskar-e-Taiba who later planned the attack on Mumbai in 2008. David Coleman Headley visited Mumbai 7 times, the majority of visits from Pakistan, to take videos of the city. Pakistanis know that their army, especially the ISI, supports terrorism against India but over 75% still trust the army. School textbooks teach hatred against Hindus and against India, reported the Pakistani newspaper Dawn. Saran does not seem to know that Pakistani actors have worked in Bollywood movies, and if we are stopping them now aren't there many reasons for that? Our soldiers are regularly paying with their lives to keep us secure from Pakistani attacks. They even dare to demand compensation for not playing cricket with them. Many Pakistani patients are being treated in India on humanitarian grounds but even here they abuse us for asking that their government should certify genuine patients. Former RAW chief Vikram Sood said that peace talks with Pakistan is futile because enmity with India is the only way for the army to retain control of its business interests. "It is now the largest corporate sector in Pakistan. It owns land, owns properties, runs fertiliser factories, runs bread factories, runs atta (wheat flour) factories...It also runs international logistics cell which supplies goons all over the country....(and) heroin." Pakistan is on the brink of bankruptcy and if it becomes a colony of China these same terrorists may turn against the army. Sadly, India is full of woolly headed dreamers who would love to continue with unending 'constructive dialogue', while Pakistan merrily continues to bleed us through a 'thousand cuts'. Blinkered Indians or Pakistani army, who is the bigger danger?
