Another way of looking at it is there is no "evil" in "foreign policy" - it was all in "national interest". USA did what it thought was its national interest. Don't bother to ask questions about which subgroup of Americans saw such things as in their interest, or who acknowledged thats uch things were in their interests. Surely you must have heard the line that national governments act without emotion or value-judgments, and at no time point is anything other than hard economic gains the only major criterion. "evil" etc are "ideological" and emotional stuff. So what America did must have had economic and financial profits! And that profit justifies it all - no one else have any right to be nagry about it. Or since they can do nothing about it, they should not be angry about it.All over the Middle East,the Gulf,and in the Indian sub-continent in Pakistan in particular,the US has propped up the worst specimens of humanity,who have inflicted their worst evils upon their own people,egged on by the US,as diplomutt Frank Wisner did in Cairo, exhorting Mubarak to stand firm and slaughter his people instead of advising him to quit! When sh*tworms of the US establishment like Wisner behave in such vile manner,as they continue to do across the globe,preserving their selfish interests at the cost of the freedom of the natives,one can only wonder at how moronic so-called expert scribes of Time,Newsweek,etc.,can be to ever imagine that the US has any legitimate role to play in the Middle East or anywhere else on the planet and open-mouthedly stare in shock when the natives overthrow their despotic rulers partners in crime with Uncle Sam!
The slap in the face that the Egytptians gave Obama and his establishment in these recnt tumltuous days in Egypt is a mere "love-bite" in comparison to what Uncle Sam Obama or his successor whoever it may be,is going to get from the people of Pakistan in the future,as inevitably as the sun rises in the east.
Its a pity that the ME commons [or not so commons according to some] have not chosen to wait and develop their economy and financial clout first [or maybe they have? I don't know, maybe Egyptian economy has shown fantastic growth rates for some time which means that the commons demonstrating are deceptive liars] before hitting back! Or maybe in some mysterious way, this hitting back by the commons is part of a deeper financial strategy - since nothing in international politics or even national politics is about ideology, but always only about finance!
I was trying to apply this line of analysis to Pakis. Now Pakis seem to have done quite well in international politics according to many assessments here - they have a blank cheque from two of the most powerful economies in the world. So whatever they do, they do in their national interests, and we should not judge them by non-financial criteria like "evil" etc. We should not even be angry about them, for that would be indulging in emotional stuff. But I could not reassure myself about the deep pure-economic-profit motive of what all this terror stuff that Pakis carry out!
If Pakis are not taking the never-ending route of prosperity and financial profits first [its never ending because who can set an upper limit to prosperity and then after that who can try to do anything else before that unlimited limit is reached!]- are they not endangering the golden rule that all international politics is about monetary profits?
If terror is profitable with much less inputs, why should not India be using that too - since all international politics is about maximizing monetary profits! If India cannot use it because it would make India "fall to the level of the Pakis" - will not that be an emotional, ideological and ethical/moral judgment - something that no nation should follow?
If Pakis can carry out terror and other stuff on India, and all such international mastaani can only be carried out after supreme prosperity and financial profits have been obtained, is Pakiland already such a super economomy?!!!
