This episode of the Riz Khan show looks at the growing rift in Pakistan's coalition government with guests Ahmed Rashid, a veteran Pakistani journalist and author of Descent into Chaos, and Arsalan Iftikhar, a human rights attorney and Islamica magazine columnist.
From the 70's till now, Pakistan always saw benefits in cozying up with the US. And, the US rewarded Pakistan with plenty of goodies - cash, military hardware/training, writing off international debts to name a few. Pakistan's over reliance on military and its deceitful relations with the neighbors has turned Pakistan into a basket case. Pakistan cannot transform without foreign support. If US decide to pull out, China will move in. The saga will continue; only the actors will change.

When outside powers will come to assist Pakistan they will also bring there ideologies. and these ideologies are not at all acceptable in Pakistan. pakistani public want religion to play central in Law making but west want to through religion out of public life. and this is the reason of destruction of there social moral structure. now they want to do such with pakistan.

I dont think so,that there is any need from international community(looters).What have they done where they helped?And what do we expect it to do yet again in Pakistan.Some more mess in the disguise of HELP.There is no concept of help in todays world.Countries and societies who demand for help are explicitly and implicitly asking for further violences from the international looters like UN and NATO.What has American help has done to Pakistan,its quite clear.Pakistan only needs to be independent.
