General Pervez Musharraf, the former President of Pakistan, might some day be considered as a moderate Islamic leader by the historians. The current gang in Pakistan is not only dim-witted they are flexing their muscles as if they are sitting on top of the world’s biggest oil and gas reserves. Last November the Zardari government asked the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to bail them out with a whopping $7.5 billion bail-out. Six weeks later they were ready to buy India’s share in a multi-billion dollar Iran-Pakistan-India gas pipeline! Did they win a jack-pot or something? Is this the way to manage an economy? Something is very strange about these people of Pakistan! What exactly are they looking for?
President Asif Ali Zardari said, “there’s a ‘little bit of India in every Pakistani and a little bit of Pakistan’ in every Indian” on November 24, 2008. Exactly a month later President Zardari said “India shouldn’t underestimate Pakistan”. What happened in these 30 days is a 180 degrees turn-around in ‘Pakistan’s Foreign Policy’. Instead of seizing the opportunity to eliminate the perpetrators of 26/11 attack on Bombay and thereby getting their own house in order, Pakistani Military made a political come back and forced the civilian government to talk tough to India. This would be fine if somebody in Pakistan was in charge of the militants. Unfortunately that is not the case. Pakistan has created a much bigger problem for itself!
