Alas, another one-sided peace offering
The drill at Wagah was often taken as a metaphor of the state of relations between the two countries. Pakistan’s decision not to abide by an agreement it signed leaves the metaphor stronger.
No toning down at Wagah (and measuring the trust deficit)
Picture speaks a thousand words. How apt!
I wish this were a case of “speaking softly and carrying a big stick”. Hopefully we’ll get there someday. Several itches would be scratched if that little Western mongrel barked too loud and bit a couple of times too often that the stick was used to beat the living daylights out of it … 🙂
libertarian – 🙂 I am not sure barking and biting is helping get a response (all happening now, btw). All control techniques, including dominant dog routine, except pleading, has been ruled out. So guess who is walking all over you. We have a lot to learn from bitch’s world!
Chandra: agree. The little mongrel – oh wait, the mongrel’s pure – a thoroughbred terrorist – is just begging for a “dominant dog routine”. Unfortunately Big Dog’s just lying around licking his wounds.
