An Open Letter to Mr. Barack Obama President of the United States

Posted by Syed Nayyar Uddin on December 20, 2011 in International Affairs, My Views, Pak - America Relationship, Pakistan, Terrorism |

Dear Mr. Barack Obama,

Salaam.

Pakistan still remembers that you said “Pakistan was an enormous country”, during your last visit to India and now Mr. Leon Panetta, has very rightly said that stable Pak-US relations are critical to Afghan success.

In my opinion, after you Excellency, your Secretary of Defense, is the only man in the world, who can restore the snapped relations with Pakistan, provided he is given the ultimate authority to negotiate new terms of engagements, which in the end, must be a win win situation, for both the parties.

However, it must be remembered  that stability of our relations won’t come over the blood of our martyred soldiers. Muslims are never taught to offer the other cheek, if slapped on one.

US and the NATO must understand our psyche, before even thinking of building stable relationship with Pakistan.

The only way to reach out Pakistan, for it’s cooperation and friendship, is to first recognize what it has sacrificed, for the imposed war and then deal on mutual and equal terms. Else, acrimony will stay permanently, even if some ad-hoc measures, diffuse the situation for the time being.

Wishing you, your family and all Americans, a very happy Christmas and Seasons Greetings.

Best regards,

Syed Nayyar Uddin Ahmad

Lahore – Pakistan.
