Quote by: tanmoy408  USA's foreign policy is solely responsible for the instabilities in countries like Pakistan, Afganistan and Irak. Musharraf, Saddam Hussain or Al Quaeda, who are now held responsible, all of them were, have been or are being backed by USA governments. |
I'm certainly no apologist for George Bush, but to blame his government as the lone cause of instability in Pakistan is a gross over-simplification of reality. Other Western nations back Musharaf, as do key Middle Eastern governments. The Pakistani government is riddled with factions that fight each other on local and clan issues. The Pakistani-Indian feud keeps the military very busy in Kashmir region.
If anything, the Bhutto assasination exposes America's inability to control events. We urged Bhutto to make peace with Musharaf but that didn't happen. Instead she openly challenged him in the election. Musharaf probably killed her with the help of some faction.
