This is the most important question and I would want some answers from the Americans on this forum and perhaps it might explain to them what general feelings exist across Pakistan for them.

These are some facts about Pakistans relationship with America:
Nuclear deal with India: America has gone through with a nuclear deal with India.

Effects on Pakistan: This deal has been denied to its so called "Ally in the war on terror" Pakistan on several occasions and is just one example of how much "Love" America has for the Pakistani people and speaks of American double standards.

Why should India be eligible for this deal and not Pakistan and the Pakistani people on the other hand have to suffer load shedding for 10 hours a godamn day? Why should the sworn enemy of its ally be given preference over the ally itself.

Why did'nt Americans do this sort of thing in 1945 with Germany? Could have helped them win the war? Ofcourse they had other plans back then.

By doing this deal with India america has accepted India like a "Guardian of the sub-continent"

Effects on Iran: According to UN even though Iran may be planning to build nuclear weapons the Iranians do need to build nuclear power to meet their electricity needs.

The deal is seen as double dealing as India can se the deal with US to build centrifuges as well.

Effects on China: China understands well that this deal is to counter Chinese growth and influence in the region.

Airstrikes within Pakistan without Pakistans consent: Another issue remains Americas absolute unwillingness to respect its ally.

Pakistan is being treated as trash. By continuing these airstrikes America has proven that whatever Pakistan says is trash and all that matters is what America wants. The tribals who lose their loved ones direct their rage not at America but at Pakistan. According to them they view Taliban and America as equal. The issue remains America is unwilling to understand this.

The Americans are unlikely to win any war in this way without trusting the local people and without taking their own allies into confidence.

American inability to look into claims of Indian RAW involvement with the Tehreek E Taliban Pakistan: Though Pakistani media has often raised this topic and it is often discussed America is turning a blind eye.

It is impossible for a ragged band of murderers and killers to be waging a full flaring insurgency where they can launch devastating attacks any place any where and at any time they want. According to Mullah Umar himself Taliban can launch attacks with 500 kg explosives everyday which would result in death of 20 Pakistanis each day. The militants have C4 explosives, NOD's and certan equipment which has never been seen in the hands of an insurgent group in the entire life of Pakistan. This has been pointed out by various intelligence analysis groups brass tacks being one.

There is a general feeling that America itself is involved in destabilising Pakistan to increase its influence in the region. America has never been a good ally either to prove otherwise.

Americas inability to realize that Pakistan is suffering more to fight a war that has been brought to Pakistan because of the Americans themselves:

Though the current situation has helped the Pakistani people realize that the truth about the Taliban and understand how important it is to destroy them America is adamant to the fact that Pakistanis are being killed every single day fighting a war on their own soil. America has had the pleasure of fighting no single war on its own land. All America does is push Pakistan to do more as its people die daily. Pakistanis feel like a donkey being herded by a blind but angry retarded monster who is too powerful but doesn't know where he is going and what he actually wants.

Americas past record: America is known to use nations for its benefit and leave them to suffer the consequences after that. Pakistan has been dragged into Americas war by a series of threats. It is very unlikely that when the war on terror will end America will continue providing financial assistance to the people of Pakistan.

Afghanistan stands as a very perfect example. Instead of developing the nation after the war America left the nation in darkness to be ruled by the same idiots who over 600 million dollars had been used to spawn.

The Haqqani network being one such grouping. Jalaludding Haqani was a terrorist who even visited the whitehouse on the calling of American leader Ronald Reagan.

Jalaluddin Haqqani has a 40-year association with Pakistan's intelligence and once visited the White House, where he was welcomed by U.S. President Ronald Reagan. The fiery, red-bearded Haqqani fought against the former Soviet Union after its 1979 invasion of Afghanistan, then seized power with other "freedom fighters" in 1992 to U.S. applause.

Following the 1979 invasion of Afghanistan by the Soviet Army, the United States gave several hundred million dollars a year in aid to the Afghan Mujahideen insurgents fighting the Soviet Army and Afghan Marxist government in Operation Cyclone. Along with native Afghan mujahideen (fighters of jihad or "holy warriors") were Muslim volunteers from other countries, popularly known as "Afghan Arabs". The most famous of the Afghan Arabs was Osama bin Laden, known at the time as a wealthy and pious Saudi who provided his own money and helped raise millions from other wealthy Gulf Arabs.

So:
Owing to all this no one trusts America and America is seen as a double dealing, back-stabbing untrustworthy nation that has done nothing but amplify the problems we face. If such are our allies then we dont need any enemies. Pakistan needs to take a stand here and we need to decide our own future.

To win this war it is also necesary the general public within Pakistan to view America and Pakistan not as freinds but Pakistan a sovereign state which practices its own might and right. For this every US plane or soldier that enters Pakistani territory be sent right back even if use of force becomes necessary.

Things will become easier if Americans withdraw from Afghanistan but it is unlikely as they have failed from the very beginning in pacifying the leaders of the taliban and al qaida. The brunt of their failure and lack of understanding is being faced by Pakistan who has been dragged into the war having to fight all of Americas enemies.

I disagree with the premise that "America uses other countries and then leaves them to their fate". The US has always spent large sums of money on its friends. I am sure Pak gets billions of $ in grants, loans, aid, arms, etc.

One thing though, there is no mention of RAW in the US press. So, this is the first I am reading it anywhere!

Ofcourse we cant trust them. There are some countries the US honors and respects and sticks with like UK, Israel, Japan, Poland...but Pakistan is NOT one of 'em. We should shoot them in the back as soon as we get our F-16s and call it a day.:lol:

I am sure you were only joking.

How long can you fly the F-16s after calling it a day (hint: spares, upgrades, the works)?

Even China is not calling it a day with USA, and you want to do it relying on them. Good show.

Why do I get the feeling that those who run the show are not so naive and know better than just such bravado which is actually "apne pairon pe kulhadi".

I was just joking, but I can see you obviously could not help yourself from trying to rub one in. LOL, I completely understand.

But its not impossible to get spares from other sources too, its not legally impossible either, neither is it impossible that you wont be needing 'spares' from Lockheed Martin any time soon. If we can get the relativily old F-16s we have as upgraded as they will get, and the new ones obviously will be new. And stockpile a nice quantity of missiles and bombs and other goodies that come with them and what ever spares we might need. I think we should be fine for the next 25 years or so. Tricky part will be getting all that, but then again we are vital allies (atleast for the time being).

And as far as what I meant by "calling it a day" goes, I dont doubt your imagination (read paranoia) has gone into hyper-drive a bit.:lol: But I should have expected it, given our alliance with the US always is subject to so much 'concern' from the Indians.:disagree:

When could you trust them?

Should you try to make things work internally first or expect to copy a slave mentallity and be treaded fair?

Anybody with a suicidal tendency can trust the so-called ally of Pakistan because soon he'll have his wish fulfilled. Pakistanis know this truth better than others, after all, they have been friends for quite sometime now.

you are right bro but you see..it's also a fact that America provides such grants to have something fulfilled in return...:azn:

Kasrkin, you can do better than that.

I have seen the tendency in you to always question the person and not to address the contents of the post.

Its not about me damnit. Its about what I want to discuss here with you because I thought you are a serious member.

If that is what you are going to do, well good luck. No point in any more so called discussions.

And I can almost guess your response again.

This is about the fourth time in 24 hours I read about you throwing a tantrum and declaring to be out of a thread.

I didn't picture you to be someone who throws his toys out of his pram.

Are you going on vacation for a couple of weeks?

There is a rule for friendship on international level i.e. no country is your friend untill she is useful to you and your concerns. I heard somewhere that someone said maybe J. F. Kennedy that US makes friend a country which he want to destroy. I am not in favour of fully depending on US. But we should not forget that what US has done. The programs including Educational programs, rural development (Both under US-Aid), FC training (a must to mention), arms and weapons providence (to some extent excluding the exception of F-16s) and other.

The thing I think most suitable at this time is to secure our own intrests. Some of our intrests are same to US, like war against terrorism. We need financial support now from foregin countries and we can not do it without the support of US.

All this meant is that we should not be fully dependent on US. We should not forget what happened after the end of Afghanistan war in 90's and when US used Pakistan to break the supremacy of USSR in this region. That war resulted badly for Pakistan gave us the AK-47 culture and millions of Afghan refugees.

US on the other hand should be more friendly to Pakistan. One one hand they say Pakistan is the front line state against the war against terrorism but on the same time they attack our borders and air statements which are Anti-Pakistan. If this continues, Pakistani people will not be freindly to US, as they are now.

LONG LIVE PAKISTAN :pakistan:

This is a silly question, that is the same as "Can we trust X Nationality?".

In politics, no one can be trusted.
