Since the Cold War ended, America became as the only superpower in the world and always tried to maintain its hegemonic status all over the world. With the 9/11 events, another power emerged as a big threat to America’s superpower status to which America responded very quickly but could not oust that power. Perhaps that power was also mandatory for the maintenance of the status of America.
Pakistan happens to be an ally of America since almost its independence. It stood for America in every situation whether Cold War era or war against terror. Pakistan being a non-NATO ally has always played vital role in all operations. But the US interference in Pakistan’s internal affairs has gradually increased despite resentment from general public.
Drone attacks by US spy planes have proved to be disastrous for the people Pakistan. The situation in FATA and North Waziristan became more severe because of interference from Afghanistan. It seems American interests can only be fulfilled by interference in Pakistan. The main target seems to be Pakistan’s nuclear assets.
If we go through history, one thing is very clear that America has never been friend of any state. It always seeks its interests by making relations with other states. The secret agencies of America are active against Pakistan.
Pakistani nation has potential to stand against any negative force. I request the whole nation to stand up for the state. They should play their role individually and work in unity for development of the nation.
