Dear Mr. Sehgal

Mr. Jamal Hussain, in his recent article, “Beware of the American Armageddon” brought up some concerns and questions. Furthermore, he suggested a security model for Pakistan.

Model:

If this approach is to be considered, it has three main points.

1- Pakistan’s security parameters will be defined by the “strength or weakness of its economy”.

2- Asymmetrical configuration of Pakistan forces. (at least few divisions).

3- SLBMs (submarine launched ballistic missiles).

In order to successfully implement his security model, Pakistan needs a “composite formulation” and a “retention time”.

The basis of the security parameters is the strength of the economy which is directly proportional to the political infra-structure of the country.

That is why it is very important to have opposition on board, regardless, how they got there to begin with Mr. Seghal, apparently the model seems discernible though several of its components are complex enough to have attention of your contributors.

Best regards

Kadar
