Lisa, Eric Margolis, an expert on this part of the world, observes in his last essay for LewRockwell.com that because of our war in Muslim Afghanistan, America must play up to Muslim Pakistan in order to chase and kill Muslim Taliban fighters in Muslim Pakistan!
This writer underscores the religious culture of Pakistan and Afghanistan for it is a crucial driver of what may happen shortly.
American military operations in Pakistan, where Taliban fighters have sought refuge, is starting to destabilize Pakistan, for it is a Muslim country, and Muslims do not like to kill other Muslims. The people there may soon overthrow the government of Pakistan for "turning a blind eye" to American military operations in its territory.
So as the USA nuzzles up to India, it risks literally the overthrow of the Pakistani government as people in Pakistan consider India to be its arch enemy - plus we are killing Muslims in Pakistan!
Check out the history of the partition of India and Pakistan in 1948 for some horrific stories about killings, of which one of my friends from India, now age 75, living in Canada, survived.
We want economic cooperation from India. We want military cooperation for Pakistan. Which is more important? In effect, Eric Margolis, with whom your humble servant here exchanges emails from time to time, says the USA cannot have Pakistan and India at the same. In the near future, we must make a choice. Which one will it be? Which one should it be?
Oh, we cannot overlook that both India and Pakistan have nuclear weapons. If Pakistan's government collapses, who gets the nuclear weapons there - the Taliban? This has implications for horrific terrorism in the USA itself if this happens.
