maybe i should have said gaffes, the principal is the same.
boy dave in india today trying to boost trade(all very laudable) tried to curry(no pun) favour with his hosts by berating their natural foes pakistan as terrorist harbourers.
who writes his script?
we are reliant on pakistan to support the nato effort in afghanistan, they are our allies and have suffered many casualties amongst their military and civilian population.

They also ceded control of several areas close to Afghanistan to Taliban sympathisers, so not quite so pro-West as some would have us beleive perhaps.

the border areas that connect pakistan and afghanistan are ungovernable, purely tribal,
l doubt that people there are aware of the existence of karachi, lahore and kabul.
