Stop the mistrust nonsense. Will u plz? Didnt india also misuse nuclear fuel for her nuclear weapons program and got sanctions slammed on her.Exactly. The mistrust is of-course mutual but to be fair it has been more of our doings in the past that has lead to our outright ostracization these days. They gave us a great deal of military aid in 50-60s after joining SEATO/CENTO but we funneled that to our ill-thought / ill-planned war against India. And since then, what has not been done. Again, its not all of our fault but we have more than the due share in this relationship fiasco. Wish we had statesmen leading the country and we had more respect in the community of nations.
I was recently in the US for a few days, and the way i was singled out of the queue at the airport and questioned for being a Pakistani, was quite humiliating indeed (they let me in eventually, i was there for a conference). But i am not that naive to say, Oh they hate Pakistanis/Muslims, hence that (or shall i say only that ). We need to do some introspection and see what's wrong that the world equate us with all the other "Special" countries.
Now same usa and canada have agreed to sell india uranium.
Where went the mistrust then? Dont try to give excuses to racist n biased behaviors of west.
Yeah ofcourse it was his highness Oscar bhopali ,so they pleasently allowed him thru.. One of our female acquaintance quite senior in age and holding american citizenship, good past conduct, regulr tax payers was made to go thru seperate security checks just cuz she was in pakistani dress shalwar kameez. And no its not cuz the dress has something where u can hide weapon etcs,there are women who get thru wearing tunics, skirts but someone in a traditional pakistani dress has to be viewed with suspicion."I did not say it was your fault, I said I was going to blame you".
Comes to mind.
I was also in a US airport a while back, I was not singled out.. joked around... went through security and immigration in 4 minutes considering I was a new guy in . On the other hand, a Arab student was arrested because he was simply being an arse with TSA and not cooperating.
But I wholeheartedly agree with your first paragraph.
Booo!
