The Secretary in Pakistan-7

All these four issues- Kashmir, water, Afghanistan and Nuclear deal have links back to the origin, Pakistan. If Pakistan does its homework right and plays its card right, it can get favorable treatment by the west and world community but as the saying goes “charity begins at home”, first you should get your own house in order so that you can start to flex your diplomatic muscle outside the country. But as things are right now, not even the so called Islamic countries care much about the issues facing Pakistan. Why, because of the bickering and the corruption of the politicians and the population, who are so seeped into state sponsored problems and propaganda that they only see the world by a myopic (Pakistani) point of view.

The American has only one concern is to make sure that no terrorists activities come from Pakistan and the nuclear weapons are secure. In order to do that, they are trying to shore up the economy of Pakistan in whatever way they can and hope that the people in Pakistan appreciate. But it is foolish to think that the U.S. will get any sympathy from Pakistan. It is also very strange that the people hate the U.S. but they also want everything latest fashion, food, music, movies from the U.S. So you can just see the confusion there. But first of all, Pakistanis will have to deal with their own internal problems themselves before expecting other countries to sort it for them.
