Only a matter of time
by Ketan Palekar on Sep 26, 2005 09:35 AM

It was only a matter of time before this happened. US uses countries like Pakistan to achieve its own motives and once that is achieved they leave them high and dry. But Pakistan fully deserves it. Pakistan did not focus on growth and development for the last 2 decades. Instead it chose to fund terrorism in Kashmir and thus became a hub of international terrorists. It was supported by US only because US wanted the former Soviet to be disintegrated so that it would be the unchallenged superpower. Now that aim has been achieved plus it's own strategy of creating terrorists boomeranged after the 9/11 attacks, it now wants terrorists to be eliminated since they have become a threat to the US. Also now China which is a rapidly growing power can be checked only if US joins hands with India which is also becoming a major power to reckon with. However India needs to be careful not be become a US puppet like Pakistan. It should look at achieving economic benefits from US while preservig its military and strategic independence.
