Re: No Sir no…you can’t have your cake and eat it too!
my point is exactly what I said right upfront - Pakistan tried to eat the cake and have it - an instance of that being posing as an ally with the USA in the wot while at the same time rearing terrorists by state sanction.
This (Pakistan rearing terrorists) made the Pakistani state untrustworthy in the eyes of USA resulting in such episodes as the Mission Neptune Spear, the open lambasting of Pakistan by almost every world leader - embarrassments that have made it very difficult for the intelligent accomplished Pakistani diaspora throughout the world.
This (Pakistan taking money and hosting American troops) also made the Pakistani state untrustworthy in the eyes of the terrorists resulting in recurring attacks of civilians in mosques, markets, marriages and schools; as well as demonstrative attacks on military bases! stuf that has made it very difficult for Pakistanis to live in Pakistan!
Doesn’t these convince you that there must be something intrinsically unsound about the goals and strategies of Pakistani establishment?
The moment you agree that this establishment does not care if thousands of Pakistanis die; and see that they use the religion as a tactic to retain that power, my case is made
