Diplomacy - Who is better
Immediately after 26/11 Zardari mentioned that Non-State actors are causing troubles and they are affecting both India and Pak. They want war etc., We were able to push to the conclusion that ISI and Army to get away from the Taliban war created a situation where India will be compelled to strike in Terrorist areas in Pak.
Amidst the War hysteria and all, Pak managed to create an impression that It will move away from Taliban to defend from Aggresor India and forced our PM to say "Nobody wants war" with the almost contradictory "All options are open" by the External Affairs and Dfence ministers. no one knows what those options are.
That was in all fairness a success of the Pak Diplomacy or rather tha lack of it in turning our attack into a black mail for the World. But soon the talk of war subsidised for we were into requesting Pak "Agree that Kasab is a Pakistani". From forcing Pakistan to accept ISI's complicity in the attacks today we are faced with making them accept that atleast one of them captured is a Pakistani. India beleives that will automatically make everything in the evidence acceptable, but for Pakistan the Confession is still not acceptable.
We are down to bargaining with Pakistan to act against Perpetrators, to show the willingness to act, to prosecute the evidence, to interrogate and share results if they will from the position of Sending them to India for Interrogation. All those topics have now been pushed to the backburner and we are elated that Pak accepted Kasab's nationality. And Pakistan by dismissing its NSA and creating a flurry of self contradictory messages has ensured that the news of Kasab being a Pakistani stay in news longer so people forget all talks of Extradition, Investigation, Interrogation etc., Today we are happy that Pakistan has accepted Kasab's nationality, which we knew from the very beginning, they have not accepted JuD or LeTs involvement, nor or ISI's support nor of a government backed plan to attack India. They have not even accepted to extradite Dawood (an indian citizen a rather shameful thing to say for us), and we have not been able to do a thing.
India has gone from accusing Pakistan and ISI of causing cross border terrorism against India to Pakistani soil being used to elements in Pakistan to non-state actors to a citizen from Pakistan is involved. Pakistan has gone from Non-State actors no official involvement to No Pakistani involvement to No Evidence to India's cooked up evidence to Pak is more affected by terrorism lines. From saying Mumbai carnage was bad to saying they have had strikes worse than Mumbai meaning the terrorists from Pakistanis have not done their job as instructed or upto the mark.
It seems like Pakistan's diplomacy motivated only by causing destruction to India seems far more attractive to the World Community viz US, China and Saudi Arabia than the Indian Diplomacy of seeking the world to see the peace mongers in here vs Israel.
