It is no surprise that Pakistanis have a low opinion of the United States. The American military kills innocent civilians with its anti-terror missiles inside Pakistan’s territory, while President Bush agrees a major nuclear trade treaty with India, Pakistan’s historic enemy. “This agreement sends a signal to the world,” said the President. “Nations that follow the path to democracy and responsible behavior will find a friend in the United States of America.” Islamabad, desperate not to lose the nuclear edge to Delhi, wants to cut a similar deal. But Washington says no. Bush’s policy seems to be this: offer nuclear treats to India, a good democracy, in order to teach the Pakistanis to play nice. The Stars and Stripes burning in the streets of Multan suggest that this tactic is not working.
