It is difficult for Americans to understand how the government of Pakistan could be taken down by a Western coup. It seems like yesterday when we were all bellowing about bin Laden being hidden and protected by the Pakistanis. A history lesson leading up to the coup would be helpful.

The first sentence of my analysis hyperlinked to a detailed interview that I gave to a Pakistani journalist earlier in the summer, which should answer your questions:

Ask any Pakistani & they will tell you a history of the coups we’ve faced. US meddling in our politics is huge & we have faced some of the worst historic eras because US willed it. There’s a strong anti-US sentiment in Pakistan that cuts across socioeconomic classes & ideological groups, & this widely known fact is the reason for it. These are not conspiracy theories that are cooked up by a select group.

USA has not just been meddling into the affairs of Pakistan but it has a long history of brewing up coups and regime changes around the world. USA has interest in this region which runs beyond the comprehension of people particularly US citizen to have hegemony in this region to block China Russia and Iran Its a long discussion but suffice to say no matter USA has done it has failed in an imperial way though costs have been very heavy for it for USA itself, USA only left behind death and destruction after its each successive failure. Afghanistan is the most recent feather in its cap. It’s a growing feeling in Europe as well that USA is a falling elephant better keep away from it This feeling stems for its latest adventure in Ukraine and it’s after effects
