Why would the Pakistani government worry about India if the crazed Hindu
nationalists weren't in power? If India was free, and wealthy and working towards
normalcy it wouldn't be trying to eliminate the millions of Muslims next door in
Pakistan. And if the despotic Muslim government of Pakistan wasn't just as
determined to rid the world of all non-Muslims for the greater glory of god they
why would the Indians worry?
They wouldn't. Instead both would be working towards bettering the lives of
their abject poor and building wealth and doing everything they could to
cooperate and build, construct and produce.
There is no earthly reason that India and Pakistan couldn't have an open,
undefended border just like exists between Canada and the US -- except that
both countries are driven by the Glory of their Cultures, which they insist are the
only true cultures, and they have been doing so for a thousand years before
America ever showed up. But who do they blame? America.
We do not cause the Muslim and Hindi's to hate each other for no other
reason than the Glory of their Culture. We did nothing to prevent the education
of millions of those people, and to keep woman from being involved in civil life.
We didn't invent the caste system. We have worked for decades to convince
both the Pakistanis and the Indians that the better course of action is to respect
the rights of individuals to believe as they do and to allow them to create wealth
free of government intervention.
Instead both governments are determined to follow the statist course to
protect their cultures from encroachment by the other. Both are even more
hell-bent today on reviving the Glory of their Culture that nuclear war is no
longer unthinkable between them.
Yet in America we have taken the best of Indian culture, and are working to
take the best of Pakistani culture, and the emigrants from there who are the best
and the brightest and recognize that they must get out of those hellholes of
repression and cultural glory and come to America to pursue their dreams.
In Flushing, in the borough of Queens, New York City, Hindu Indians and
Muslim Pakistanis and Bangladeshis, and Sikhs and others are completely able
to get along, live next to each other, play together, work together and pursue
their individual happiness. Why then can it not be done in their home countries?
Is it something in the water they drink, either here or there?
The pursuit of their dreams is entirely possible at home only when those
countries wake up and see the light and change their attitudes to resemble
America's.
It is not cultural hegemony on America's part, but the absurdity of having two
countries at war with each other for more than 50 years for the sole purpose of
glorifying cultures that have created the deepest poverty. It's like they are in a
race to see who can impoverish their people more.
It is absurd and dangerous. And nuclear war is presently a concern there
because of the glory of these cultures refusing to accede after 4 or 5 thousand
years that the other exists and has the right to exist.
It doesn't seem that hard to understand that all people have the right to life
liberty and the pursuit of happiness. But India and Pakistan are firmly in the
camp that believes that only some people have the right to exist, and they must
be kept impoverished and repressed until they can eliminate the other people.
What a colossal waste of time, energy effort and money.
And then they go and blame America for the morass. Astounding!
So these two governments have spent billions of dollars in an effort to
slaughter each other, kept at bay only by the threat of US Military action. They
have begged for aid from the US, only so they can shift more resources to the
effort to slaughter, while their people languish in poverty. Meanwhile the world
complains about US hegemony when we try to step in and prevent the slaughter.
