Yes, as if US is a big supporter of democracy in the islamic world.
"...But in March 1949, Syria’s democratically elected president, Shukri-al-Quwatli, hesitated to approve the Trans-Arabian Pipeline, an American project intended to connect the oil fields of Saudi Arabia to the ports of Lebanon via Syria. In his book, Legacy of Ashes, CIA historian Tim Weiner recounts that in retaliation for Al-Quwatli’s lack of enthusiasm for the U.S. pipeline, the CIA engineered a coup replacing al-Quwatli with the CIA’s handpicked dictator, a convicted swindler named Husni al-Za’im. Al-Za’im barely had time to dissolve parliament and approve the American pipeline before his countrymen deposed him, four and a half months into his regime...."
The reason US supports democracy in Pakistan is because politicians help Americans achieve strategic objectives one of which is to keep Pakistan permanently dependent on western aid. America stance on Pakistan is the exact opposite of that of Egypt where they openly support dictator Sisi who allows no independent political activity whatsoever. And we all know where Americans stand on democracy with regards to GCC and Lebanon. So obvious question why democracy in Pak but not in Arab world?
Also by calling out Americans openly, IK is putting a bigger target on his back. Americans have never expressed remorse for killing millions of innocent Vietnamese or Iraqis. Why would the life of one person be any worth for them?
Judging by recent history, Americans might be following the Egyptian playbook where they will get politicians to eliminate IK after which army will step and remove politicians. Sounds farfetched but there does not seem to be any other explanation for army's behaviour.
America is a superpower in decline which is why its acting like a dog in the heat. Sad to see Pak becoming a victim of American anger. But damage is being done by Pakistanis themselves which is the most disappointing thing of it all.
Why the Arabs Don’t Want Us in Syria
They don’t hate ‘our freedoms.’ They hate that we’ve betrayed our ideals in their own countries—for oil.
