LAHORE: This refers to Kamal Siddiqi’s article “Our Saudi dilemma” (April 27). It was a good objective evaluation of ground realities, the inference of which he has nicely summed in the last paragraph: “Whether we like it or not, we are being sucked into a larger conflict. Aside from the military commitment, we also have a sectarian conflict at home so we are aware of what we are getting ourselves into. Possibly the price we eventually pay would be higher than the short-term gains we expect from our involvement. This is for our leadership to ponder over.”
However, the pertinent question is, is our leadership capable of pondering over this sensitive and complex question, much less gauge its implications and complications in the long run?
