Following the U.S. operation that killed Osama Bin
Laden in Pakistan, the hatred and mistrust between the two countries
have reached an almost irreversible point, said Pakistani analysts,
fearing it might take decades to normalize the ties.
Analysts believe that Pakistani forces, intelligence
agencies and other security departments, for the time being, are not
ready to trust anything from the U.S. side blindly.
They reached this stage when the Pakistani army,
intelligence agencies and government lost a big part of public
confidence due to two reasons: their intelligence failure about the
presence of the al-Qaida chief in Pakistan, and the U.S. SEALS'
operation to kill Osama in cantonment area without Pakistan's knowledge.
A former Pakistani diplomat, Naseem Anwar Baig, said
"as a nation we are tensed and our confidence had been shuddered
because of terrorism within the country and the violation of our
sovereignty by U.S. through drones and direct military operation."
"The sword of terrorism is cutting our throats from
both sides, our people and security forces are under militants' attacks
while U.S. drone strikes on innocent people in northwestern region are
increasing militants and public rage against government and security
forces," Baig told Xinhua.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, during her
short and surprise visit to Islamabad on Friday, said the relations
between the two countries have reached a decisive point, stressing
Pakistan to take further steps to curb militants hiding in Pakistan. Xinhua
