US is the biggest state sponcer of terror in the world.They spocer the terror in south asia and the middle east .here they support Islamic terror by funding them and in Middle east they support Israel .This is a ploy to keep these oil rich regions volatile to take maximum advantage

with us or against us by rangeela re on 05 Jan 2009

the 15 billion dollar aid package (with/without strings) is a litmus test for usa to be with us or against us in our fight against terror. this message should be given diplomatically to usa in absolutely clear terms.and if still granted, we should then be free of the us yoke.

Diplomatic circus in motion by Anthony Joseph on 05 Jan 2009

No country has been as successful as Pakistan in literally blackmailing the world, playing the good guy, the bad guy and the victim all at the same time. Look at the situation next US VP comes to diffuse tensions, give aid all to a country that has wrecked havoc on the world with its active support for terrorism, while feigning its fighting against it and opening up a nuclear super market. Its a pity that Pakistan as a country had leaders who due to their single minded flawed ideology were never able to use their talent to uplit their country men.

US Vice-President elect visiting Pakistan by V.Shanmuganathan on 05 Jan 2009

The US elect Vice-President should insist the Pakistan Officials to co-operate with the World community to close down the terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan.If there is any more excuse or denial the US should stop all the aids to that country and US must ensure that their allies are also stop all monitory benefits to Pakistan and finally Pakistan be declared as Terrorist Nation.This is the only way to bring Pakistan into a civilized nation.
