Excerpts:
Pakistan's policies have led to NATO sitting on its flanks in Afghanistan.
Bagram will remain a US military base till the proverbial cows come home.
Other US military bases in and around Pakistan have come up. With only
slight hyperbole it can be said that there are perhaps as many FBI agents
operating in Pakistan as in stateside USA. Pakistan's making up with India
becomes a survival imperative for Pakistan. Pakistani civil society has
begun to comprehend the enormity of the dangers facing Pakistan from the
situation that the military hierarchy has allowed to develop in the region.
Should they be able to force their masters (never friends) to change course
Pakistan and India will yet find their collective way out of the woods. If
not, Pakistan must await the inevitable collapse. It has nothing to do with
Kashmir in the year 2003. It has everything to do with the military
hierarchy not wanting to give up power after having ruled the roost for over
fifty years .
