Clearly there have doubts about the trust of the nation ever since the death of Osama Bin Laden. If you don't the story, the US and NATO forces had been asking permission from Pakistan for every attack they would commit on al-Qaeda in their country. Because it wasn't working (Osama would disappear every time), the US eventually decided to go in to their country without permission and they finally found their target... just 20 miles away from a Pakistani military base. Pakistan receives a substantial amount of aid from the US each year, they have a good reason to remain allied with us, however, if not for that aid and international support, it is not guaranteed they would still be allied. In other words, I'm hinting that they may only be allied with the US for international aid and support. Pakistan's major religion is Sunni Islam. Al-Qaeda's religion is a radicalized form of that. That doesn't mean Pakistan is a sponsor of terrorism because of its main religion, but rather it could be suspected of that because of the anti-American sentiment throughout the Middle East combined with the tendency to radicalize due to poor education and poverty (Pakistan is a candidate for both). There is also the case of India. India is clearly a closer US ally than Pakistan is. India is also in a massive arms race with Pakistan and tensions have never been higher. The US is trying to calm the tensions, but they're just not going to solve the history of bad tensions, and the current disputes. The US is also finding itself in a hard position to support Pakistan with the way they treat their women (by culture and law). Overall, I'm basically saying that because of what happened during the SEAL raid to kill Osama in 2011, followed by the line of evidence in the paragraphs above, that we should, at the very least, question the intentions of Pakistan. Agree? Disagree? Thoughts?
