My country your solution

India and Pakistan may be at daggers drawn to each other. But people of both the two neighbouring countries are peace-loving, they do not want any war between the two countries.But it is the political leaders who are responsible for this bitter relation between the two countries and they do so to axe their own grind. So if anybody from Pakistan offers a solution for any problem I encounter in life, I would analyze it by logic and if I find it justified, I will take it without any hesitation; in no case I will reject it on the wrong ground that it has been advised by somebody from our arch rival Pakistan.

Smart is smart. I wouldn't care where it came from, so long as it makes sense.

I guess, dear VAndy, my first question would be are they offering a viable solution...or are they "flexing" their muscles? And what is the basis of "their good solution?" and the long-term results! The mighty powerful U.S., is just across the border, and we are treated like errant little children by Big Brother! I am fiercely Canadian, and wonder where Big Brother will lead us, especially when involved in another war, in the EAst!

India and Pakistan are not in war ? Then there is nothing forbidding to their citizen, even if they are fiercely patriotic, to be more reasonable and wise than their politicians by giving a BR to the member deserving it, whatever the country. Congratulations.

It depends on how much each party will gain. Of course, any party or people would wish to have the advantage over the other in any situation. The technique is to make everybody happy (or as many as happy) over the solution. In an ideal view, I guess it worth considering the proposal of your ‘enemy’ since it will somehow affect you too whether you like or not. The question is whether you can influence it to make it also advantageous to you. The problem is the politics in the process and whether if the people negotiating is really looking out for most of the people and not for themselves. In addition, the tow parties concerned should also welcome third party advice with constraint. Only the two parties know the details (they are the ones who shared history, blood and people over this) and they are the only ones who should benefiting form this proposal. As person, logic is the bets solution for any conflict. Pride and other strong feelings can help propel a cause but when it comes to relations with others, it might just not work. It divides rather than combine good things that can be possible.

as I know people of india and their nature, I really would like to say I do not know when the matter of pakitan and india want to finish. I have seen many Indians to make diffrence to people of another national and used to call themsleves as the best. Anyway I wish that knowlege and humanity grow in each part of our life and people understand that we are all Adam's children and permitted to live on the earth for somewhile and this earth is not belong to anybody so I wish to the world to understand having a border can not make you diffrent from another one, this is land of God for all of us so wish ignorance will disappear from our world then I do not think we should have any reason to fight or discuss.

Well i think i would take suggestions, i will be open to all. But decisions will be mine. Also it is important who you hear to. I would not entertain suggestions from my rival. No one would think of getting a suggestion from their enemies. Doesn't matter how good we are we cannot expect the same goodness from our enemies. They are enemies after all. Suggestions and advice's are better listened to but are not always something where we can abide to.

If a Pakistani or a Chinese provides a practical and logical solution to my problems,I would love to accept it although not at the cost of my national pride.I would love to help them if they are in distress in my country.Recently I had come across the findings of a survey conducted in China.It was found that only 25% of Chinese like India.I don't know whether any such survey has ever been conducted in Pakistan.So don't know what Pakistanis think about us.

If I was in a position where I had authorities to accept or reject a suggestion from Pakistan. I would have thought ten times before accepting it. Citizens of both countries may be friendly. But the politicians back there don't have a good intention. Many fact in the recent past had made this point very clear.
