US hands in Pakistani Politics

Re: US hands in Pakistani Politics

Almost every single major political leader in Pakistan has (and continues to) look towards America for support. Be it Liaqat Ali Khan, Ayub Khan, Zia Hul-Haq, Benazir Bhutto, Nawaz Sharif, Pervez Musharraf etc. In recent years even the Mullah-ified leaders like NWFP CM Akram Khan Durrani and cricket kaptan-turned PTI leader Imran Khan have called at the US State Department to "explain" their policies. Then the likes of the latter come out and blast the American's for all our ills!

So, if the US has a hand in Pakistani politics it is only because it was our politicians and leaders first invited them, and continue to do so.
