The curious incident of the Pakistan.

Assumptions matter, whether in detective stories or securing the country.

One such assumption is that by and large Pakistani awaam is in favour of friendship with India, it is in favour of peace and would like nothing more than to move along, and it is only Pakistani Army which is against it.

This is interesting, in light of bombay blasts.

One wonders, if Paskitani public feels the way we are assured it does, why is Pakistani public silent? Why is there no reaction?

Ok, the last bit in not technically correct. There have been reactions,

1) Condemnation of the blasts.
2) Denial of Pakistani involvement
3) Kashmir.

1) doesn't matter much one way or other (I mean, what are they going to say? It was a good thing !)

2) is more interesting if Pakistan is not involved then something is amiss, I do not believe this however, that is I believe that there is involvement of state of Pakistan

3) ofcourse negates 1)

So if Pakistani public wants to be friend with India, why is there no reaction against Pakistani state? Why are they silent? Why don't they ask their government to stop the terrorism?
(With the possible exception of out-of-power and exiled politicians)

May be our assumption is incorrect then? May be Pakistani junta desire to move along and be friends with Indians is not strong enough to condemn and renounce resolution of disputes through extremely coercive and violent methods.
