Re: Should Zardari have rushed to go meet the US ambassador?
People were wanting Musharraf out of power, because of his close work with the US - that people wanted Pakistani policy to be Pakistan-centric rather than American-centric.
Well, that's the theory right?
So, why aren't people outraged at Zardari's backdeals with the Americans? Is Zardari standing up to them or kissing even more arse than Musharraf?
Musharraf as of late, was not kissing American behind. When the Americans told him to stop the media bans back in November, he told them NO. When American leadership told him to cut his crap with CJ, he told them NO. When American leadership was hammering to enter Pakistan with soldiers to fight in FATA and NWFP areas infested with terrorists, he said NO. American media has been sensationalizing the new elections in Pakistan, and politicians speak of a hopeful new arrangement. Don't be fooled, we just want to bring our soldiers in and expand the war we're in, so we can fight it from the Pakistani border, and hopefully crush the rise of Taliban once again in South Afghanistan.
Is PPP's stance different?
Khair, we'll see. Hopefully there is no invasion of Pakistan. Some politicians like Obama are promising it, but it wouldn't be good for Pakistan and it wouldn't be good for us Americans either. We're already in recession now because of these wars (and other factors).
