Testing testing...

After the success of American 'mistakes', now presenting the Indian 'mistakes'. Why did these mistakes never occur in the past seven years? Why just after the rising tension? And why did these mistakes occur at two separate times? Why did the PM had to say just a day before that we hope that they won't launch an air strike? (They were expecting it, surely?). What wrenches the heart more is not the attack per se but the response of the our 'leaders'. Everyone here is shouting against the violation but those in the government. Not a single strong, aggressive statement while their counterpart is taking advantage of this very leniency perhaps? Threatening to strike the 'terrorist' spots in our land, backed up by the west. Couldn't the President today, while assuring the world again to act against the terrorists also assure the his nation that Pakistan will retaliate with full force against any external incursion? Just this simple statement would have meant a lot. We, on the other hand, as a faithful dog, have already begun to obey their orders by launching an operation against Jama'at-ud-Da'wah without any proof.

I've always longed to see miracles. But I see this miracle here: the existence of Pakistan for the past sixty one years. It's creation doesn't seem such a big deal in front of how Pakistan has survived in the past years.
