#2 Pak elites are very concerned about 'image' and how they are perceived by the west.

Unfortunately the very personable, whiskey drinking Generals are the same ones who use the jihadis.

Mohammed Ali Jinnah, a bacon and eggs in the morning, whiskey in the afternoon, practically atheist, westernized lawyer launched the "Direct Action day" - the first anti-hindu pogrom in support of his muslim state.

The Paks are very good at meetings. Many state department types love em. "The Paks are good old boys. The Indians are bastards" is one memorable quote.

But behind the image lies the feudal mindset.
And the mask is dropping. More and more people are seeing their true nature.
No amount of meetings will help now...
