US & Pak
by vikas sethi on May 04, 2011 11:47 AM

Pak believes geographically it has a strategic location that US & world cannot bypass. So even if it gets rogue, US will have extreme limitations in acting against it. Hence its support to Al Qaida, Haqqani & Taliban for a strategic role in Afghanistan. They also firmly feel that like it defeated USSR, it can do the same to US in Afghan as US is dependent on Pak.


But US has already started changing the rules of the game. It has begun re-routing some supplies thru Russia & uses Drones to blunt the total dependence on Pak. The Paki cry against use of Drones is actually bcoz it is loosing its geographic importance - & hence US aid in future, as far as this war on terror is concerned.


If Panetta's strong words are a guide, then US has already worked out its plans minus Pak, if push comes to shove. US will not allow Pak to dictate terms of this war. Pak definitely is in trouble but it is difficult for the leopard to change its spots unless Paki people rise against it.


In a country where the media is traditionally scared to question the military but is eager to criticize the civilian govt though it has no power at all, it is very difficult to see people rising against the military doctrine even though they have suffered the most.

US asked India to have a base for the war in Afganistan. But India refused. so US turned to the usual ally Pakistan. What is the alternate that you propose?

U are some US govt. Shill(paid to to write positive statements for them). Its well known that US is Using Pakistan to create imbalance in South Asia. To negate India's rising economy. Remember the people of India will not let that happen and the US govt. will pay dearly for all the unwanted wars they have caused over the years all over the world.

Indian leaders never said that US is trying to negate India's economy. So, what you are saying is not true. You are just one of the public who talk rumors than facts. You still have not answered my question on what is the alternate for US other than Pakistan.

US will be keen to continue to maintain the relationship with Pakistan as they are sure of finding all "Most Wanted" terrorists inside Pakistan, the safe heaven. They want to leverage Pakistan's greed for their own benefits.
