Please don't go with Islamists propaganda on Pak-US relations. Pakistan has stood its ground on many issues even when USA asked Pakistan for help/assistance/listening.
GW-I, Pakistan had 1 brigade of army posted in Saudi. Paks called them back instead of helping USA and its allies. This is all the while when Commie-club members like Syria sent in troops in support of the USA.
Paks didn't take action against Arabs in Pak after 9/11 and held our promises to provide safety and healthcare to the Talibans and Islamists. It was Islamists tribals who broke every treaty, every agreement with Pak government.
Nuclear issue. We have not handed over the ghaddar AQ Khan who brought so much shame to Pakistan.
Paks went under "military sanctions" (and not economic sanctions) over nuclear program.
Paks went under both miltary and economic sanctions on nuclear explosions.
So anyone who says Pak buckles on every whim form the USA is utterly wrong and simply trying to create anti-government feelings and anarchy in Pakistan.
It was good decision to kick the commies. no doubt in it. We should have prepared ourselves for the "after-commie-@rse-is-kicked".
The example you provided are from the time we had civilian governments. Can I say that the military governments in Pakistan buckle to American demands? Or, Civilian governments which do not buckle are replaced with more 'favorable' generals?
And do you support Islamists and Jihad if it against commies and not when it is against US?
