The United States and Pakistan are by now a classic example of a dysfunctional nuclear family (with an emphasis on “nuclear”). While the two governments and their peoples become more suspicious and resentful of each other with every passing month, Washington and Islamabad are still locked in an awkward post-9/11 embrace that, at this juncture, neither can afford to let go of.
Washington is keeping Pakistan, with its collapsing economy and bloated military, afloat but also cripplingly dependent on its handouts and US-sanctioned International Monetary Fund loans. Meanwhile, CIA drones unilaterally strike its tribal borderlands. Islamabad returns the favor. It holds Washington hostage over its Afghan War from which the Pentagon won’t be able to exit in an orderly fashion without its help. By blocking US and NATO supply routes into Afghanistan (after a US cross-border air strike had killed 24 Pakistani soldiers) from November 2011 until last July, Islamabad managed to ratchet up the cost of the war while underscoring its indispensability to the Obama administration.

Secondly not necessarily he is a Hindu. There are many Muslims, Christians and people of other faith who have Hindu names. Infact there are Ahmadis and some my relatives have Arabic names in their documents and passports but Hindu nick names given by their family given out of affection of Hindu prophets. FYI.. I have Ahmadi relatives with family nick name Dilip and their name in passport is somewhat Arabic.
Can we have some intellectual criticism of anything instead of religious hatred?
