So what would you equate the senseless charge of the Indians under the assumption that they will overwhelm the armed forces of Pakistan by sheer numbers and indiscriminate attacks, including civilian infrastructure. History is filled with such assumptions that in the end spelled disaster for the attacking forces mainly due to the bravery and better strategy of those attacked under this false assumption of superiority and many of them are recorded in history.

The one that comes to my mind immediately is the battle of Waterloo, which is considered a watershed moment in the history of Europe, which ended Napoleon’s military career and actually brought in an era of peace.

One can only hope that the errors our neighbor committed under the false assumption that he can overcome a smaller country will also bring in an era of peace to the sub-continent so that the countries and the people of this area can reach their full potential and achieve progress and prosperity, which has evaded us for so long because of the irresponsible attitude of this belligerent neighbor.

Well back........
