If Pakistan has not attended the Bonn Conference that is not the end of the world.
KARACHI: This is with reference to Britta Petersen’s article of December 6 titled “Bonn without Pakistan”. If Pakistan has not attended the Bonn Conference that is not the end of the world. Pakistan has been pushed into a corner by America. We have our own priorities and we do not want to be treated like tissue paper, only to be used by the Americans, and thrown into the dustbin (of history).
We are not going to kneel down any more, as enough damage has been done to Pakistan. I am sure that the writer must be aware of how Iran, North Korea and Venezuela and several other independent states are surviving fine without the help of US.
By taking dictation from the US government, the government and people of Pakistan have suffered a lot and we do not want to suffer any more. The government of Pakistan is going to announce its new terms and policy with the US and its allies.
