Nevertheless, the right wing in Pakistan (military and Islamists) hate the US secularism and democratic values.  And the left wing and secularists demonize the US–after all American made helicopters still kill secular Baloch separatists, and displaced Baloch children are denied relief supplies without a murmur of protest from the US.  </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://thelede.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/05/12/a-grand-conspiracy-theory-from-pakistan/?apage=5#comment-317203"><P>Meanwhile, scared by the nukes, the US is desperately supporting Pakistan and trying to keep it from breaking up against the will of the smaller nations.   Never mind that Pakistan tried its best to spread nukes to Iran, Libya,  N. Korea and even Saddam’s Iraq (who declined to buy thinking it was a trap).. and it is only a matter of time before Pakistan agencies find another way to spread the nukes..</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/DB2AABC0-AF2A-49DB-BB77-FB5FD1029D5F/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
