Kabul, March 20: US Vice-President Dick Cheney on Thursday said he expected the new Pakistan government to be “good and effective” US allies, as he made a surprise visit to neighbouring Afghanistan.

“I expect they’ll be good and effective friends and allies of the United States, just as the previous government has been,” Cheney told a news conference.

“I have no reason to doubt their commitment to dealing with the problems that emerge,” the Vice President said, referring specifically to the troubled tribal area along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border.

He said the new government, which has already vowed to take on Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf, a close ally in the US-led “war on terror”, had “as big a stake as anyone else” in fighting militancy.

Musharraf faces a fight for his political survival after his backers were trounced at the polls last month, with voters showing their anger over growing Islamic militancy and a host of economic problems.

Wishful thinking by P.P. TALWAR on 21 Mar 2008

Since Pakistan is been ruled by three 'A's (1) Allah (2) Army (3) America, Allah being supeme lord of the universe his blessings will always be there for all. Irrespective of which government comes to power in Pakistan, unless the army and America stop meddling in Pakistan's internal affairs, lasting peace in Pakistan is a far cry.
