When I read your reply, I had to laugh for few minutes and then I understood your mentality. May be you have seen frogs in the well saying "tur tur" in the nights without knowing what is happening outside the well. Similarly you have built an image of Pakistan as a stone aged village but it is not true. I hope if you find some courage you will see the busy cities of Pakistan especially Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad to understand yourself the progressiveness and beauty of Pakistan. Some areas are affected all due to adventure of your own bull dog USA which has made lives miserable for the Pakistanis.

We the Pakistanis have been showing our stamina to deal and knock down the superpowers with iron commitment. Without Pakistan and of course without US dollars and assistance the defeat of USSR in Afghanistan was not possible but Pakistan paid huge price for the cooperation with USA. We lost our peace, we lost our future and we lost every thing on this game. But still we are standing in a position when USA is blaming us for the whole problem. The time has come when USA's so called friendship would be thrown on the face of Obama and Pakistan may pull back from supporting USA in Afghan War.

Naturally, the result will then be toasted and roasted US reserves sending back to their homeland graveyards...This is not the agenda of USA to see more dead bodies of there immature soldiers. Pakistan's help is always needed but on equal terms rather than through ugly dictations. Pakistan is standing with iron courage again to deal the most cunning and backstabbing friend the USA. Hopefully, the continued adventure in Afghanistan and Pakistani border region would soon end with the downfall of the lone superpower. I predict Europe would rise to lead the world as an economic power house and a military might...Better wait and see buddy!!
