Is Pakistan a trustable ally to US ?

It was rather unwise on part of US to have believed in a country which was unstable politically and economically. Pakistan is slowly and steadily turning into another afghanistan and Iraq and guess what this is just going to compound the list of problems which US has been having ever since they were dealt a severe blow by the jehadis on that fatal 9/11. US often has said that the Pakistan has been an ally to US on their campaign "War on Terror" when failing to completely realise that this country is already plagued with lot of severe problems which needs to be rooted before it can be taken into confidence. Dont take me wrong. I am not blaming the innocent citizens and the civilian society of pakistan. I am equally frustrated with the attrocities that the ISI and the military of Pakistan have played on this ever under developed country. No single leader, past or the present have been able to tap the resources, this country possessed or lead their country effectively. No grants from US was able to lift this pitiable country from the deep trenches the men of this country have dug for themselves. Now the money from US has also gone to the grave faster than anyone could believe or perceive.

Check for the news from NDTV on the $10 billion suffered by US.

The Bush govt in its report has revealed that Pakistan literally wasted $10 billion granted to them by the US for the war against terrorism, to evacuate the region of Pak and Afghanistan from the perils who call themselves the Jihadis. On the whole, these group of militants have not only tarnished the religion which is so prevalent in this world but also so many countries which could have been molded towards development if only for these unwanted elements.
Ever since this country was given birth to in 1947, they have been always a kind of disturbed lot. Never have they lived in peace. Never have they left their neighbours in peace. Take note again when i say they, i refer to those group of men who disguise themselves under the ISI (pakistani intelligence), the jehadis in the terrorist camps and the corrupt leaders who have let their country time and again to the chagrins of the military and the ISI.

when the US in its complete knowledge knew that the tribal areas in the North western province were never under the control of the Pak Government, how did common sense prevail in them just giving a grant of 10 billion in exchange to a promise which everyone knew they are incapable of keeping up ? Remember its a sovereign country's ground and US has no business to take it under its control even if it said that it had given such an attactive package. Now where has it gone. i would not be surprised if the findings said that it either went into the pockets of leacherous politicians or to the ISI men or some so called patriotic men looting it for setting up terror camps. Anyways, it has neither been used on the interests of the US nor on the interest of the poor and innnocent civilians of Pakistan who are in utter despair in waiting for one good leader capable of changing the fortune of theirs and their country's.

US in all its capacity should have either acted tougher or should have imposed time bound conditions and released those grants in parts. It was a blind investment if ever someone allowed me to describe this act of US when the economy of US in itself crumbles day by day. 10 billion $ is not a small package to let it go and the Bush administration should answer this to the citizens of his country before he vacates his office. Obama in succession has a larger role to play. He has not yet started to run the race but then already the perils facing his country men have started to run beyond his reach and now you see Bush coming in at last to hand over the reins to his hand.
I just sincerely hope that Obama does not make the same mistake which Bush did by investing too much of money in the land of pakistan. It would be strategically wiser not only on the part of US but also on the part of the neighbouring and as well as common wealth nations of south east asia to establish a stabilised goverment in Pakistan which would have control over the military as well as the Intelligence services. Pakistan should now more focus on growth rather than setting up terror camps. For the first time in its history, it should set up committees to really help the common man and ask him what he really wants. The military should now be used more for eliminating the militants who migrate from afghanistan. Us on the other hand should play it safe by pressurising the militants in afghanistan. Now the question is upto the US. Should it trust pakistan in its "War on Terror" ? Whether the US provides help to Pakistan or not, all depends on how pakistan acts ? Now again when i say Pakistan, i mean the government, military and the ISI. Lets leave the civilians alone. They have already suffered too heavily from the impact this group has created time and again.
