Tony Blair snubbed by Pakistan
Chinese President Hu Jintao yesterday received a red carpet welcome to Pakistan.In a sign of the importance placed by Pakistan on the visit, Hu was greeted by the country's top political and military leadership, including President General Pervez Musharraf, Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz, the entire Cabinet and heads of the defence forces.
In comparison, British Prime Minister Tony Blair was greeted on arrival during his visit here last week by a junior Pakistani foreign minister. Snubbed after offering hundreds of millions of British taxpayer's money for genuine aid.
Analysts believe China has supported Pakistan's missile and nuclear weapons programme for decades. "China is the only country, which Islamabad trusts. No one else," said Tarique Niazi, an analyst at the University of Wisconsin, who has written extensively on Sino-Pakistan relations.
IMO: Well you can see why China get the red carpet treatment. USA does its best but refuses to take steps which could lead to an increased Pak nuclear arsenal. Britain tries to restore the peace too. I look for reason and wisdom in Musheraff's line and cannot find it. Does a true friend supply a small child with matches to play with as it wishes ? I do not think so. Lets hope poor Afghanistan is saved by Britain from the Taliban, by hot pursuit into Pakistan if need be, with possible immediate and unwarned use of tactical nukes to save personnel and money, if necessary on Islamabad without warning, but hopefully just by using a wide scorched earth policy over the Pakistan border. Musheraff's idiocy seems now to go beyond tolerance.
