Cassandras are having a field-day as far as the future of United States-Pakistan relations is concerned. They’re saying that epitaph on the tombstone of these relations has already been written; it was done last November 26.
That was the day North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) forces from Afghanistan ventured deep into Pakistan territory and bombed an army post at Salala, in Mohmand region of the tribal belt along the border with Afghanistan, killing 24 soldiers and officers.
NATO and American spokesmen have tried to explain away the gory incident as “an accident” that occurred because the Afghan troops on the border had come under fire from the Pakistan side.
