Of Madmen,Honest diplomats and Spoilsport politicians!!

A few months back I read an article by Vir sanghvi and it was a fact that resonated with my thoughts about how does Pakistan Govt. gets away with the rocket firings,the terror business,the 26/11s and all of that matter,after being clearly evident that it is the epicentre if not the sole conspirator in all of this.
Here's how all of it works.The mad man theory was something that Americans used against the Soviets.They spread the word that US President Reagan was a madman,a drinker who listened to no one. This sparked a speculation that he would press the red button(famous nuclear weapon launch symbol in the office of US President!!) on a hiccup.The Soviet people went berserk eventually as the fear sunk deeper.A mad man sitting on of a stockpile of nukes-It would make anyone sweat in their shirts to put it soberly..
Pakistani huqmaraan has perfected this Mad man theory.
Next time any regular activities from Pakistan take place,try to dig deep into who is answerable from the Pakistani owl pack,the Parliamentarians that is!!Bet you'll get lost in PoK.
Zardari says,the military is not in our control(as the history has seen),Military says ISI which is hostile and works as an independent entity has to curb terrorist activities(the sympathy being the sporadic blasts in Pakistan), ISI won't come out to address anyone and the void is left open.
The current hulabaloo over none of the 11 Pakistani cricket players not being picked up by any of the IPL clubs instigated a smile and made me think about Vir's point.
Now,the ball is in India's court as conspiracy or not,the madmen in Pakistan have become dam(ned)men as they have no one to blame for this.Not the Politicians,Not the Sports ministry,forget the corporates if it triggered a bleep.India needs such diplomacy to deal with Pakistan.India's Foreign Politics has to evolve and shun Gandhigiri and adopt this very valid principle. Because when statesmen become madmen,there should always be a Plan B especially when you have a country like India at stake.
