You must keep in mind that Pakistan has suffered the aftermaths of the Cold War, and that Cold War had left deep imprints on our society. We were the worst sufferers from the ills of the Afghan war.

The Cold War is over but Cold War thinking survives.

Pakistan has assured that it would not allow its territory to be used against India for any acts of terror. India must also reciprocate and address our concerns which are very genuine. Dialogue is the only way forward. Absence of dialogue leads to tension.

Since the end of the Cold War, America has been grasping left and right for an identity.

During the Cold War, we lived in coded times when it wasn't easy and there were shades of grey and ambiguity.

We're no longer in the Cold War. Eavesdropping on friends is unacceptable.
