Hon !ceman, I am with you one hundred percent.
Having worked in Kuwait and the UAE and visited Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan(Zahir Shah's time), Saudi Arabia, Oman, Syria,Tunis, Morocco, Jordan, Egypt, Sudan,Turkey, Indonesia, Malaysia and Bangla Desh (while East Pakistan), I find my compatriots rather naive in their perspective.
While in every other country, nationals and national interests get the priority; Pakistanis are for some reason obsessed with the idea of Ummah. IMO this is the biggest challange Pakistan faces today. Wish my countrymen will wake up from this dream and misplaced loyalty; and truly take Pakistan's interests to heart.
