An open letter to Obama

First of all I congratulate you on your emphatic victory and making it to the White House. You deserve heartfelt accolade and your win may be denominated as a tour de force as cards were heavily stacked against you. Mr President, you are fortunate as the people, for the first time in history, across the globe are cock-a-hoop over the entry of a person in White House as they are expecting some thing superlative from you. Now you will have to jump through hoops to live up to their expectations.Ashrafuddin

It is the biz that soon after getting sworn-in, you intend to visit Pakistan. This intention represents your sound judgement of mind as Pakistan is one of the pivotal states on the map of the world, especially in the present scenario. Before you swear-in and start following the madcap policies of your predecessor, I want to confer with you the case of Pakistan. Mr President, at this moment when the drones of your country are lobbing missiles on Pakistan in the name of killing terrorists more often than not, I suggest you to revisit this policy as it will not be worth your while and will go a miss, as Pakistan has always sided with the US in all its battles at the cost of annoying many influential powers in the world and harvesting rebarbative consequences at the home front.

By staging attacks on Pakistan, the US is alienating a goose that has laid golden eggs for it many times in the past and has the potential to do so in the future. Given the geo-strategic location of Pakistan, it would be highly impolitic for the US to develop an estrangement with Pakistan. It was the importance of Pakistan that wheedled the US into wooing it rightaway after its birth. The history is a testament to the fact that it would have been impossibly difficult for your country to cope with the significant threats posed to it without the help of Pakistan. Let us have an analysis of some epoch-making events to lend colour to this fact.
