Pakistan's Musharraf to resign as president
Here's the deal. *It is what it is. *American foreign policy gets instituted
and we get into the cause-and-effect thingy. *Americans generally don't have
a good idea as to how they are perceived by "furriners". *I imagine most
Americans don't care or would tend to think that the "furriner" thinking is
wrong. *Generally speaking, the Pakistanis hate you. *However, most
(conservative) Americans would like to believe that they ("the Pakis") are
all lining up for Green Cards to run 7/11s in Michigan.
They'd also line up in Sangatte if they can, it's got nothing to do
with trivial local political sensibilities, or whether they like you
or not. Their mindset is that of the dust bowl, survive. Read
Steinbeck or live in a place you can't even trust your drinking
water.for a while.
Is it any wonder the world is in the state it is?
I assume you are thinking it is in a sad state?
