Pakistan: Who Is Running The Country?

The US Ambassador to Pakistan Anne Patterson’s recent statement on Quetta shura raised a controversy in Pakistan. Teeth Maestro poses the question in reaction: “Who’s actually running Pakistan? The Americans or Pakistanis?”

    I was not intended to reply this joke but than thought to guide Mr Writer. Pakistan is a sovereign country and there is a democratically elected independent Govt running affairs of state much better than a dictator and orthodox parties can do.

    US is just an ally of Pakistan in war on terror, and supporting Pakistan on economic end or in other fields. It does not mean we have sold our country. Govt of Pakistan is striving for its national interests not promoting US. Zardari has negated af-Pak policy. Zardari did not attend the speech of Mr. Obama. Zardari has signed Iran gas pipe line plan. Zardari did not compromise over our atomic assets. He refused to hand over Dr. AQ khan to US. Govt is very much vigilant towards our national interests and security of Pakistan. Govt of Pakistan itself is running state affairs; don’t detract people by such stupid questions.
