I'm not convinced Pakistanis are anti-US. As I understand it, the country is divided into four regions, each with a distinctive ethnic and other demographic identities; one of those parts is the Western-educated elites who have gone or whose children have gone to Western schools, so they would tend to be pro-West.

Second, anyone can make cheap shots about imperialism, but, in the end, they know they cannot go back to the Middle Ages.


I'll post this in our FB groups.
