Funny that India and Pakistan are always cited as a positive model for a post war Iraq. In reality, partition was pretty much executed with the same praiseworthy combination of hubris and ignorance--resulting, natch, in vast numbers of people being killed, maimed and displaced--that we see today. But, those bad old days are so in the past, and anyone who dwells on or, like, wants to learn from them is just a lame sucker dwelling in the totally uncool reality-based community (which, I hear, is a lot like your grandparents' "assisted living" facility outside Boca, only without the tricked out golf carts). Because, guess what?! India and Pakistan have such an amazingly strong, and totally stable relationship today. It is completely based on trust and mutual respect. Kind of like Amy Winehouse and that weird, androgynous guy she married . . . only with nukes instead of smack. So you can just stop hatin', Haters!!
