Our relations with Pakistan are like the battered wife syndrome. The country keeps doing us wrong, but promises that next time things will be different.
Were desperate for the relationship to work out, so we believe them. We take their excuses at face value, rationalizing away their behavior. We seize on the few moments when things are good, as proof that they will change we just hang on a little longer .or try a little harder. But of course nothing ever changes, and we get in deeper and deeper.
We, like the battered wife, need to face the reality that things are only going to get worse, and its time to walk away and make some new friends. But it wont be easy and it wont be without major risks.
Isnt it unconscionable that we are paying Pakistan to kill our people in Afghanistan? Dont we owe it to the men and women who have sacrificed so much for our country and who are still in Afghanistan to walk away from this abusive relationship?
