So recent events of the world are creating ripples across those newsdesks where those non sleeping people always alert to not to miss a 'byte' of who said what work some times even dangering their lives for a breaking news,by the way we know them as reporters. A dead Osama is enough for a week but the plate is already full. Libya resisting all efforts of of Nato and America, Syrian and Yemeni crackdown on protesters and above all post Osama Al-Qaeda and world. Also there is the latest breaches of Sony Playstation network for which Sony is doing best to put all the blame on hacking groups projecting Sony as a victim of a malicious effort to tarnish its image. I hope that saves a desperate Sony from some flying lawsuits which they know they will loose for not able to guard client data.
Nevermind having said that, the interesting thing is to see how US handles the state of Pakistan post Osama. With all America and even some countries like India also asking the question that "Why is the United States still funding and helping Pakistan?"
But if since it was clear from the begining that Pakistan was harbouring terrorist there has to be a reason to that the policy maker high in goverment in Bush administration and now Obama administration continue to approve the funding and other help.
Although Pakistan was a US ally since the cold war era and played a crucial role in the Afghan Soviet war providing support for CIA and training Mujhaheedin. But Pakistan sadly didn't took advantage of the opportunity of being a strategic player in the global scene. Unfortunately the old school and India haters of Pakistan machinery turned those mujhaheedins to fight for Kashmir and in the process it didnt realised the limits it has crossed ultimately branding itself as a terrorist state. Love of Kashmir and hatred for India brought down the country. So back to a US funding after a stroll in history, since we all know the country is in state of collapse with ailing economy and various crisis the only hope for them is US aid. It has grown addicted to US aid and now finds itself completly dependent on US. Now this position gives US the crucial advantage to use Pakistani soil and other resources in fight on terror with Pakistan having little to say in the matter. This is the proved by operation that led to Osama's death and the frequency of drone strikes on Pakistani mainland. This is in contrast to the situation in 80's during Afghan Soviet war during which US went through back channels to secure arms and funding. Worth mentioning are the efforts of senator Charlie Wilson.
Now there is another reason US cant stop aiding Pakistan and that is of increasing persence of China in Pakistan and its increasing collabration with the latter
.Now that puts Pakistan in a win win situation with both China and US competeting each other to aid Pakistan. Although US has a clear advantage and it certainly doesn't want to loose it. Again I am no expert just 'imagine life in peace'.
