Pakistan will never be able to match the Indian militarily, and the effort to do so is taking an immense toll on the society.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Pakistan has done some really terrible things, and yet they also have facilitated our military capabilities in ways that are critical to our country.
Pakistan is not about to crack down on terror groups or cut its military budget in order to build roads, schools and hospitals.
A war with Pakistan would be an utter disaster.
Pakistan is not a unified country.
We need the cooperation of the Pakistanis. If we don't have any, we lose insight into the actions of those who would do our country harm.
You must keep in mind that Pakistan has suffered the aftermaths of the Cold War, and that Cold War had left deep imprints on our society. We were the worst sufferers from the ills of the Afghan war.
The overwhelming public sentiment in India was that no meaningful dialogue can be held with Pakistan until it abandons the use of terrorism as an instrument of its foreign policy.
Sadly, Indians are not very easily accepted in Pakistan, and that has a lot to do with the governments.
I don't want to be a propagandist or say that Pakistan is just great. There are problems, but it is a much more complex place than we are given to believe.
Nobody will be allowed to use Pakistan soil for any form of aggression toward any friend or foe.
