Pakistan and America have multi-dimensional strategic relations since 60 years. Pakistan showed up in America’s war against terrorism but is accused of playing a double game. Almost 30000 Pakistani innocent people laid their lives in this war and it infected the country’s economy deep into the roots.
After the Raymond Davis issue both the countries are in hot atmosphere. Pakistan is in deep trouble as it has to equate internal pressure as well as external pressure which drags it always to either side. The reason is that there is an ideological difference in the nation as few elites like America and war on terrorism whereas masses are anti-American and hold a favorable view of Osama. So in this prevailing atmosphere, Pakistani Govt. finds great difficulty to manage the conflict between revolutionary waves of Americanism and anti-Americanism in the country. Sometimes the internal pressure surges too high to meet American demands for Pakistani government and America takes it as insincerity .On the other hand America is having its base in Pakistan near Tarbela Dam and attacking the Balochi people through unmanned drones justifying these attacks as high value targets which is unacceptable to the nation and is taken as an attack on national sovereignty.
Now when America attacked Osama’s den in Abottabad without sharing information with Pakistan, the ties went more fragile as the whole world media is interpreting the scene as inefficiency of Pakistani security agencies and that it’s a safe heaven for terrorists. America is of the view that Pakistan has been playing double game since the beginning and that if Pakistan were sincere, this war could have been finished a long time ago. So they diplomatically answer this Pakistani question of trust deficit as the operational security instead of distrust. Both the nations and officials are on hot bed at the moment and America is considered as quite ambitious to access the strategic nuclear assets of the country which has been answered by Senator John Kerry in a polite “No apprehension for nuclear plant”. There is also a view of Black water conspiracy theory in the Pakistani nation that CIA is involved in terrorism existence and promotion both physically and virtually.
At the end ties between both the countries are soured these days and American officials are frequently visiting the country to review and consolidate them. Nevertheless America added fuel to fire as now it is looking forward to some political settlements with Afghan Taliban which goes again in the disfavor of Pakistan as the war will go inconsequential after a long struggle. It will lead to further anti-American sentiments in the nation and defame of the ruling party.
