Recently, from Afghan issue,I hear a lot bout Pakistan. Its surprising that US has'n in close military & economical ties with Pakistan through various treaties since 1950. Paki sided with USA in Vitenam,USSR, Gulf and now on war on Terror. Contrary to what is shown on CNN, majority of people in Pakistan's urban area ( around 30% of pop) are westernized. Half million Pakis live in USA as an extremely prosperous, peacful & successful community. Still majority of Paki support President Musharaff who is a well known supporter of USA. Historically, Right wing Islamic parties could never gain more than 15 % votes in any election. Still I can't understand why people in USA consider Pakistan a fundamentalist state or anti-USA. I think majority of us dont realize that after Afghan war we left 3 million Afghan refujees there which r uncontrollable. They r major source of violence in Pakistan & elsewhere and provide cover to Taliban. When Pakis try to push them to Afghanistan UN stop them...
