US Congressmen Michael McCaul has likened Pakistan-US relationship to a bad marriage but ruled out a divorce option.
McCaul, a four-term congressman and chairman of a House Homeland Security Committee panel, and House colleagues recently met with President Asif Ali Zardari to discuss prospects for increasing bilateral trade between the two countries.
“Both Pakistan and US will have to bring the trust deficit down to zero”, said McCaul.
He added that, “increased U.S. trade with Pakistan, rather than stepped up U.S. foreign aid, was the way to overcome frayed relations between the two allies in the war on terror.”
He also said that he had told Pakistan that it was imperative for both countries to let no doubts take root on the common turf they stand on.
Lauding the improvement in Pakistan-India relations, he said that this development would help Pakistan mobilize more troops to its Western borders.
It is ingrained in American nature to use everybody and always remain ungrateful. America has never been a good ally. They have a history of dumping their friends. When it comes to international relations, they are hypocrites to the hilt.
