The United States is building a deeper relationship with both India and Pakistan which are facing the common threat of terrorism in the region, a top Obama administration official has said.
"It (terrorism) is a shared threat for Pakistan, it's a shared threat for India, it's a shared threat for others. I just would caution that we should not see this in zero-sum terms," American Assistant Secretary of State for Public Affairs P J Crowley told mediapersons in Washington, DC.
He said the US is building 'a deeper relationship' with India, Pakistan and Afghanistan.
"This is good for the United States, it's good for these countries individually, and it's also good for the region as a whole."
Agreed that terrorism is a threat to India and to others.
Not sure,it is to pak.
Being a world-wide officially recognised exporter of terrorism,terrorism is not a threat to pak.pak revels in carrying out terrorists activities in India.
All through these years pak has given birth to enormous numbers of terrorists organisations that,it's quite natural that some of them will do target practice in pak itself.The explosions in pak are mainly as a result of that.
America knows very well that there is absolutely no comparison between the terror threat to India and between the threat pak faces from some of it's own rouge terror organisations.
WHAT INDIA IS FACING IS PAKISTANI GOVERNMENT SPONSORED TERRORISM.FULL STOP.
Terrorists training camps are openly being conducted and terror leaders issue threats to India openly in pak.
If America thinks India,pak are facing shared threat of terrorism,why on earth they are not asking pak to close down these camps,where regular pakistani army officials are imparting training to terror recruits??
May be America is repeatedly being fooled by pak.
But not everybody is as foolish and naive as the current American administration to believe what pak says when they swear that they are "sincerely fighting terror and that they are a victim of terrorism"..

Unfortunate incidents of suicides by Indian Armymen
Times of India reports that a Junior Commissioned Officer allegedly committed suicide by hanging himself from a ceiling fan in his barrack on the outskirts of the city, the third such incident involving Armymen in Jammu region in eight days.
Naib Subedar V S V Naidu committed suicide at a military station in Domana area, defence ministry spokesman Lt Col Biplab Nath said.
He said that the reason behind Naidu taking the extreme step is not known immediately. The JCO had rejoined duty recently after a three-month leave.
A court of inquiry has been ordered by the Army authorities in this regard, he said.
This is third suicide by army personnel in the region in the past eight days and all of the three had returned after availing long leave.
JCO Naib Subedar Ganga Ram of 49 Rashtriya Rifles committed suicide by shooting himself at an army barrack in Mendhar belt of Poonch district on March 19.
Sepoy Raghubir Singh, posted at the forward defence location at Jallas near the Line of Control (LoC) in Poonch district, committed suicide while on duty on March 21.
Hope the officials investigate these incidents sincerely to make sure that such incidents don't reccur.Instead of committing suicide,these men should have chosen to fight for the Country and in that process if they had become martyrs,atleast their families would have had the satisfaction of knowing that they died for the Nation.Sure,still,the personal loss will be the same for the family members..
But then the Country would have looked at them differently..

pakistan preparing for more outrageous terror attacks in India
In Kashmir, the summer of 2010 will be as bloodier as or even worse than the mid-90s, says an internal assessment of the Union Home Ministry.
This is based on Pakistan fast turning back to pre-Musharraf era strategy of keeping Kashmir on the boil as suggested by intelligence assessment, infiltration figures and happenings in the Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
Not only Pakistan and the ISI have allowed United Jihad Council chairman and Hizbul Mujahideen chief Syed Salahuddin and LeT commander Abdul Wahid Kashmiri to openly hold meetings in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir but the statements of Jamaat-ud-Dawa chief also corroborate their apprehension.
Moreover, in January alone, 60 infiltration attempts were made in Kashmir.
Union Defence Minister A K Antony has also said on record that as many as 42 large terror camps are functioning in PoK and Pakistan is doing little to curb them.
There are also indications that Pakistan is now on the verge of pushing in at least 250-300 trained terrorists waiting across the border.
Intelligence agencies suspect that in the coming months not only the Lashkar- e-Toiba (LeT) and HuM will step up terror attacks in Kashmir, but they will also carry out targeted attacks in metropolitan cities and other Indian towns.
According to their assessment, the ISI will be using Nepal and Bangladesh route to fund the remnants of Indian Mujahideen and SIMI to carry out attacks in the Indian hinterland.
I am sure that Indian establishment will wait for the next terror attack to materialise and then respond with all the weapons at it's disposal.Condemnation,appeals to international community especially to pak ally America to ask pak to stop terror.Home Minister,Foreign Minister,Home Secretary,NSA and all and sundry giving out useless statements about possible availability of early warnings given to the corresponding state government etc etc.
Prime minister as usual won't be seen any where.
pakistan government's response will be :
Heartfelt condemnation,vehemently denying any role of any pak agencies,expressing sympathy for the victims,expressing solidarity with the Indian government in the fight against terror,showing willingness to help India in the investigation if any pak terror organisations are involved... blah ..blah and blah...
American response will be :
(Let me cut and paste some part from the pakistan response)
expressing sympathy for the victims,expressing solidarity with the Indian government in the fight against terror,showing willingness to help India in the investigation.Flying out some useless so-called high ranking American official to India to pacify the "angry Indian Government".
UN,EU,UK all will have their own stylist condemnation statements readily available..
In all this,we the people of India will remain a constant victim,as ever.
And in the continued sufferings of Indians in terror attacks,American and pakistani leaders will have a drink,some thing of this sort,may be :
America will continue to support and arm pakistan with the most modern weaponry,which pakistan will be trying to use against nobody else but India..!
Unless and until India comes up with a trumph card to curtail this,pak army officials will continue to get more and more emboldened and will continue to plan and expand their terror tentacles to more and more areas of India...
BEWARE....!!!!
