PAK-US RELATIONS HAD ALWAYS BEEN A ONE SIDED AFFAIR.THE WAR AGAINST TERRORISM HAS FORCED USA TO DEVELOP SO CALLED FRIENDLY RELATIONS WITH PAKISTAN. BUSH & MUSH HAVE JOINED HANDS FOR THEIR VESTED INTERESTS. US POLICIES ARE MADE BY THEIR THINK TANK. DEMOCRATS OR REPUBLICANS ARE THE TWO FACES OF THE SAME COIN. IT IS GOOD THAT HILLARY HAS DECIDED TO BE CONTENDED WITH THE ROLE OF VICE PRESIDENT WITH OBBAMA.USA WOULD SUPPORT MUSHARAF IN HER OWN INTEREST IN THE WAR AGAINST TERRORISM. US WOULD ENSURE CONTINUITY OF MUSHARAF'S POLICIES BEFORE MUSHARAF QUITS. PAK ARMY AND USA WOULD ENSURE A SAFE PASSAGE FOR MUSHARAF. JUDICIAL STRUGGLE WOULD END WITHOUT ANY SUBSTAINTIAL GAIN.NAWAZ SHARIF WOULD BE ABLE TO GET POPULAR SUPPORT IN PAKISTAN BUT USA WOULD KEEP HIM SIDE TRACKED. LET US HOPE FOR DEMOCRATIC REVIVAL IN PAKISTAN .
