What is Behind Pakistan’s "Diplomatic" Charade?
It appears there is a different underlying story behind Pakistan’s "peace" diplomacy between the United States and Iran. It is becoming evident that Pakistan is being stifled by a dual fear: on one hand, the apprehension that instability in Iran could embolden Baloch insurgents; and on the other, the dread that rising oil prices could drive the nation into bankruptcy. Furthermore, analysts view this as yet another attempt by Pakistan to salvage its tarnished reputation—often perceived as a haven for terrorists—and to secure much-needed financial loans.
