[The latest indications are that the United States will continue to provide economic and material support to the present government of Pakistan. In fact, for the United States there is no other alternative but to support the General for the sake of its war against Islamic terrorists. Many in the US administration may be seeing the writings on the wall yet they have no alternative in the given circumstances. There is no other political or non political outfit within the country who can be assigned the task of fighting the terrorists. The efforts of the Government of Pakistan so far to finish off the terrorists may not have been upto the expectation of the West, but whatever it may have done so far may have been the best that could have been done in the given circumstances.
