US, PAKISTAN, AND THE TALIBAN


The story reads

"

U.S. Presses Pakistan on Taliban

By HELENE COOPER and ERIC SCHMITT

Published: August 18, 2009

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Obama administration officials, trying to capitalize on recent and rare military successes in Pakistan, have been delivering strong private messages to military and civilian leaders here to aggressively pursue the Taliban and other militants, including some with close ties to Al Qaeda."

Sometimes I think that the problem with the United States is that it is run by "Americans". Years ago I predicted that the Pakistan is on the verge of becoming the next Somalia, my view has not changed. the country is not just poor, it is sick. The power is controlled by the few, so is the money. Politicians are in it for the power and to make money, not to bring democracy or freedom or to improve the lot of many( oh that sounds so much like us now doesn't it). And Pakistan's problem is not the Taliban (it is ours), it is then thousand other gangs of thieves and thugs that could go on a gang war that will make Mexico look like a day care play ground. There are private armies controlled by local landlords and may I say the "politicians".

I am sure Pakistanis(Zardari et all) have told Mr. Holbrooke, like Musharraf had been telling Bush, leave us alone and let us figure out what we can or can not do, or they should have.

For sixty two years the US has been playing the role of an on again of again boy friend to Pakistan, and like any good whore the Pakistani politicians have learned to play tha game,. when the US wants "some" they talk about the bills they need payed, that's all there is to the relationship, they know their place and know they are playing second fiddle to the Indians.

The major problem here is that we expect the little foreigners to forget everything and do things our way, the foreigners never forget, we should remember this.
