"Any attack by any nation against Pakistan would bring immediate retaliation ? against India, with whom Islamabad has fought and lost three wars, a former army chief of staff says.

"Our policy of deterrence is India-specific. No matter who comes for us, Israel, the United States or India we will take on India. If someone is thinking of taking on Pakistan they should know we will take on India," said Former Army Chief of Staff Aslam Beg, who now heads an independent right-wing think tank in the federal capital."

I never realized the Pakis had such a hard-on for the Indians...they are obesessed!! Using this logic, if I were the ChiComs I would lob a few nukes at Pakistan, wait for them to nuke India and then for the latter to finish them off. I would erase my Pakistani mistake and put India back a few decades. That would leave me as the undesputed Asian power...at the very least it would be very Sun Tzu'ish.

The Chinese never get in a hurry, either. The Pakistanis are probably the stupidest people on the face of the planet. Why they don't just focus on cleaning up their cess-pool instead of figuring out ways to drag their neighbors down, I'll never understand.
