ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) — Sen. Joseph Biden said Tuesday that Pakistan’s transition to a civilian government after eight years of military rule gives the U.S. a chance to adopt a foreign policy based on the whole nation — not just President Pervez Musharraf.
Biden, the Democratic chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and two other senators were in Pakistan to observe Monday’s parliamentary elections. The ruling pro-Musharraf party conceded defeat to opposition parties on Tuesday.
These are three key people in the US Senate. We should always appriciate what is good for Pakistan, no matter how small is it. May I suggest to all people living in the United State of America to send thank you note/ email to these people. Not everyone in U.S. is Dick Chaney or George Bush.
About friggin time.
I hope its time for a change in US policy and that too for the better. Not for one person but for the people of Paksitan
Biden (D) – Delaware & Chuck Hagel (R) – Nebraska are two of the most independent and knowledgable senators that we could have hoped to have come here. They will give good, sincere advice.
The only way to help democracy flourish in Pakistan is by Independent Judiciary and Free media. As media can keep a good check on the actions and decesions of the government and IFFF needed judiciary can be trusted for a fair trial
I second busybee…… though the 3 senators made some good comments, but they are no substitute to an independent press and Judiciary of Pakistan to oversee elections and other issues. Are the elections monitored by foreign media and US senators in India and Bangladesh? Is this a norm for other developing countries as well, or Pakistan has a special place?
As far as US policy being People friendly than Mush friendly, it has yet to be seen. I hope that it happens, as it is a dire need. MUSH needs to GO… and democratic forces need to be strengthened.
