Pakistanis (irrespective of their standing in society) exult gossip, paranoia, superstition, and conspiracy theories more than science or history.
Pakistani people?s obsession with India is understandable because they don't understand what is going wrong with their country for the last 60 years or they don't have a say in their countries matters and feel helpless.
They have seen how Indian has embraced western/British concept called democracy and molded to it own advantage i,e unity in diversity and secularism.
The problem with Pakistan is that there no sound or unifying idea or basis behind its creation. Even if the country intended to be a strictly theocratic state and a leader popular and strong enough to impose that ideal, Pakistan would have been better off than it is now. Jinnah had no realistic vision, he was a dying man who just wanted to go out in style. You create a nation on the basis of religious division and then want it to be secular? That's insanity, and so since inception, crooks have filled the void of a unifying raison d'etre. The country's only hope is to implode and have something better re-built from its ashes. Don't count on the masses of Pakistanis waking up out of their slumber otherwise.
Says an Indian: "As long as the ISI officers and the Pakistani Army is getting whacked, this Indian is happy! Let the Pakistanis win it albeit with lots of losses to their Army so that they cannot continue their undeclared war against India for the last 30 years! Martyrs hardly, when the ordinary citizens of Pakistan contribute voluntarily to terrorist organizations such as LeT, JeM. Let them understand the deadly consequences of supporting terrorists! Then perhaps the Pakistani society will shed its delusional conspiracy theory, just as the 1971 defeat at the hands of India removed an earlier delusion of 10 Indian soldiers being equivalent to 1 Pakistani soldier."
Blame for the recent spate of bombings is being laid at the door of foreign powers by many ordinary Pakistanis. Why?
Ask the perpetrators of a victim culture obsessed with the West and Israel, whilst indifferent to the genocide in Darfur, the manifest injustices of the Saudi regime or indeed any patch of land unfortunate enough to find itself under the juristiction of Sharia.

"The images of fellow Pakistani men, women and children being martyred on our television screens "
Once upon a time, words had a meaning, and methinks that "being martyred" had something to do with being killed for one's beliefs, or indeed, choosing death rather than giving up or compromising one's beliefs.
Frankly, I think it would help also with the conspiracy theories you bemoan here if you could bring yourself to call a spade a spade: Pakistani men, women and children are murdered in cold blood by brutal fanatics from their own land who couldn't care less how many they kill and maim in pursuit of their goals.
