Twist in the relations
The recent act of obduracy on Pakistan's part by not granting diplomatic immunity to an American diplomat has definitely severed U.S.-Pak relationship.By offending her Big Brother she has again shown that the country does not run on policies and diplomacy but on spontaneous outbursts and an attitude of megalomania.Pakistan has been offending America big time.Her increasing closeness to China and obstinate attitude towards American interests has certainly deteriorated the close relationship they shared not so long ago.Moreover after 26/11, Pakistan's henious acts and government enterprise terriorist networks have been unveiled.Trying to defend Pakistan now and continuing the cosy relationship they once shared would not be possible for U.S., though this would mean decline of U.S. control in the region.It will be interesting to see for how long the 'GOOD FRIENDS' tag remains given America's requirement of Pakistan's territory for conducting operations in Afganistan but I have a very strong feeling that something has got to give.
