Pakistan: U.S. Urges Islamabad To Fight Terrorists As Fragile Peace Collapses

"We also expect Pakistan’s civilian and military leadership to be strong partners against violent extremists in Pakistan’s frontier areas," Negroponte said. "Pakistan’s government recognizes that bringing those areas under control is an urgent priority for Pakistan’s own sake. But let me be clear: We will not be satisfied until all the violent extremism emanating from the Federally Administered Tribal Areas is brought under control."

Unfortunately, and it pains me to say this, the U.S. hardly ever delivers on promises made during "war-time", or really any other time. If Pakistan starts pressuring the U.S. for military support, and the U.S. says "no", then Pakistan will have to find another place to buy from. China, as you stated, is the most open country for the purchase of military equipment. Problem is, if Pakistan's government buys weapons and technology from China, then later down the road Pakistan will become not only a proxy war battle ground with China, but a "terrorist haven" that will legitimize(I use that word loosely) a U.S. invasion of Pakistan. Just to install their own government, and take whatever oil and other resources Pakistan might have.

Every dictator that the US has ever fought was a friend prior to the start of war-talk.

Hitler, Stalin, Pinoche, Batista, Noriega, The Saudi Royal Family, Saddam Hussein, Osama Bin Laden, and many, many others going back to the beginning of the 20th century. This tells me that it doesn't pay to be a puppet to the U.S.

Until we change our attitude and our way of thinking. Until we realize that we have a rightful place in the world, and that we are NOT the world, then expect nothing good to come from a friendship with the U.S.

Very well said buddy!!!

And this is the way we Pakistani think of US Policies, we want to be on good terms and do every possible effort to cope with terrorism however one should realized that we are not one of the richest nation nor we have the technology .. so we need them to support, I feel like that Pakistan is just escape goat for every US failure if you can't figure what went wrong they chalk it up to Pakistan... it is really unfair.
