i agree with you mr. minister on so many levels.i hope something could have been done to improve the situation on both sides of the border.

having said that, i feel Pakistan have been manipulated by US so many times that now you can smell that mistrust in the air.

Pakistan has tried its best to be one of the strongest US allies in a very difficult situation.name even a single other country which stood by american cause so ruthlessly.even america's love affair with isreal couldn't stop isrealis(supposedly best of all friends) to spy on america.we really need to put our priorities in right perspective

I don't believe it's possible to salvage Afghanistan and I think Pakistan is following the same route. The Bush administration had a chance to accomplish something there after 9-11 but they squandered it because they just couldn't be bothered with transforming the country that foisted off 9-11. It was more important to go after Iraq even if they had to lie through their teeth to make it happen, which is what they did. In theory, I agree with Obama in that we had better start doing something about the problems in Afghanistan but, in practice, it will be too little too late. When a sore starts to fester, you treat it right then and there. When you put it off and put it off and put it off, it turns gangrenous and all you can do is amputate. But don't blame Obama or McCain; blame George W. Bush. For those who want to call me a Bush-hater--don't bother, I'll do it for you. You're damned right I am. You're damned right.

We (America) seem to be no better at imperialism than than the previous nations who held that title.

Afganistan is now producing record amounts of heroin. Exxon is now making record profits on oil sale. Bothe of these situations are products of the bush administration. John McCain wants to continue the war in Afganistan and to give Exxon et. al. even more tax breaks. Whats wrong with this picture?

Excellent piece. I spent some time touring the North Of Pakistan around 86 and this man reminds me of much of what was charming about the people of the NWFP.
