US war against Pakistan?

US war against Pakistan?

Amsal Siddiqui


The latest and unpredicted downturn in the Pakistan-US relations has given the nation’s support to the Pakistani army that claims to be ready for American aggression on Pakistani soil. General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani is turning into a national hero to lead the nation in what could be a possible war against the US. Under pressure due to the economic recession and suffering humiliation in Afghanistan, the Obama administration has started blaming Pakistan for its failures in Afghanistan. This blame game is deteriorating relations between Pakistan and US and this can prove costly for the US itself. Around 75% of American and NATO military supplies pass through Pakistan. Shutting off this vital lifeline alone would be a disaster for the American and NATO forces stationed in Afghanistan.

President Obama cannot dare to enter into a military conflict with Pakistan at this moment in time. Pakistan’s forces and its 180 million strong population is ready in ambush for a war against the US. The American administration must decide well if they are ready to face the wrath of a nation that has held a grudge against them for decades.
