Standing up to America

ABU DHABI: With reference to Hillary Clinton’s warning to us, may I ask the government why does it not stand up to Washington’s dictates?

Why does America ask Pakistan to do more when it has all the resources at its disposal to track down Osama and al Qaeda? They should remember that Faisal Shahzad is in fact an American citizen and they have an equal responsibility for the way he turned out.
