Nuclear armed India,Pakistan cannot takeover the other-ZardariBy: Premangsu Chowdry | Tuesday , 7 Jul '09 11:59:16 AM Reply | Forward One is intrigued by the remarks from Zardari that India is not "the foremost threat"( maybe the secondary) to Pakistan; it seems timed,curiously with the US Joint Chief of Defence Staff supporting the plans of the Pakistan Army Chief, the de facto ruler of his country. These may imply that the recent Military Aid from the US can be used by their Army not only against the Talibans, but also for strengthening itself against India. Zardari's words of India not being the chief threat were meant for a 'naive' India, and aimed to allay India's apprehension of some of the huge US Aid being diverted; Pakistan emphasised the Taliban threat across the border to India; it has always tried to convince the West that India poses a threat to it. However, if the mutual nuclear threat and the Taliban bogey to India are aimed, as an indirect approach to India, for her active assistance against the Taliban, it will delight the West.India will continue to be amused at the games Pakistan plays.

Why should India occupy Pakistan?By: Kalpathy Venkataraman | Tuesday , 7 Jul '09 0:02:12 AM Reply | Forward It is really funny on the part of Pakistan to think that India is out to capture and rule Pakistan. Why should India bother about occupying a country with huge liabilities? China is always interested in annexing Taiwan for the simple reason that it is economically sound and has huge assets. The same can't be said about Pakistan. Perhaps the Pakistanis may welcome Indian occupation in the hope of better life. For India, it will be a huge task to feed millions of illiterate people whose only occupation is to produce more children. It is like feeding an unproductive elephant.
