The 60 year old, fake, farcical and criminal neocolonial alliance between the US and its artificially contrived South Asian toady state of Pakistan is now on the rocks too - as the latter descends into its own economic, social and structural breakdown. It is being eaten away by a tribal insurgency in its northwestern province; besides, years of misrule and plunder by its Anglophone ruling elite have now brought it to the brink of chaos and dysfunctionality. The US is extending its Afghan war into Pakistan's Pashtun tribal areas and they have asked for it, as these wild Pashtuns are orchestrating Taliban rule in their territories and are openly and proudly hosting al-Qaeda there. Now there is an open revolt brewing, as "indignant" Pakistanis, whose "honour" has been violated by CIA Predator Drone strikes on extremists has brought things to the boil on the Hoi Polloi level. The US-Pakistan nexus was one of Anglo-American global imperialism's most inimical geostrategic relationships, with the grovelling manner of the Pakistani rulers being most sickening to wittness. They are totally dependent on their US and British masters. Besides this, Pakistan's "ordinary" people are a wild, boorish and pugnacious lot of religious extremists, who have not even been able to bring a revolution against their oppressors. Mafia-minded, they can be bought and sold. But the coming breakdown and break up are inevitable, and will burn the hands of both the US and what remains of Pakistan.F.Kamilovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10367438225330977373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22903415.post-75214395845643581342008-09-16T21:06:00.000-07:002008-09-16T21:06:00.000-07:00The obvious worst part of these bailouts is that t...The obvious worst part of these bailouts is that the taxpayers are the ones who pay for it.
