The USA in general has had a rather fair relationship with Pakistan They have been less critical of the American relationship with Israel than most Eastern nations. The Paki’s have always projected a certain independent nature over other other Muslim nations. What other has ever elected a woman as the chair of state?. Pakistan shows strong resolve to eradicate that element provided her demise.

Those are some great comments. I agree. Sorry I fell down on the humor. Take care...

Agree about the relationship being stable but that is only when Generals rule Pakistan. The people have always hated us. Pakistan was one of the three places in which the people danced in the streets when 9/11 happened (Palestine and Egypt were the other two). As for the woman being elected, even Bangladesh elected two of them. In all three cases, these women inherited the party from a male relative. Benazir Bhutto's election was due to the fact that she inherited the party and the hatred between her province and another province ran high. Her inflammatory speeches got her the votes. They were not votes for some policy related issues.
