pakistan has never been much of an ally. perhaps now they're starting to think they may need us more than we need them? but who knows for sure what they're thinking?? they are a jekyll/hyde nation. they are trying to play both sides of the game-and we all know what happens when you try to please everyone. you end up pleasing no one.
but i have to say, i would NEVER agree to another country carrying out drone strikes in my country! in that respect, i can understand their wanting that to end. the us certainly wouldn't allow such a thing here by others. but, they hold out the
to entice pakistan...trick is tho that pakistan tries to take the money and still pretend to their us-hating citizens as tho they're no friend to us, that they just want our money.
i can see us being more friendly to India being the ultimate carrot tho. they surely don't want india emboldened by having better relations with us. i think that's what they should do.
we must start treating other nations on what's best for us and our interests. pakistan isn't that good of an ally, so they shouldn't get a ton of cash...look what it got us when afganistan was our number 1 recipient of foreign aid.
