We never obsessed, its our concern.Obsessed is what some thing this sort, when even pakistan day celebrated with indian songs
You are right and I accept this over obsessiveness with Bollywood in Pakistan. This is the inferiority complex Pakistanis demonstrate everyday. Even the religious hymns are sung on Bollywood tunes!
Fact of the matter is we have zero tourism industry and zero entertainment industry. the only industry we have right now is terror passage or terror nurseries.
Most of it has to do with perception. But how would you convince a Western guy in Europe or North America that this is just perception and when we dont have any place where foreigners can visit!
Of course when I go to Pakistan after couple of years with my mind conditioned with western typically biased stories about Pakistan, the bias that sells here, I too am astonished that Pakistan is not what it is.
But who is going to project the country at the international level? People like Nawaz Sharif you think? Its this type of political leaders who appoint ambassadors to countries best suited for their personal or business interests. This is their criteria. Their business or personal interest takes precedence over that of country.
Many Pakistanis will disagree and rubbish me but this is how unfortunately my country is seen.
ISI was very likely complicit in death of osama bin laden, all these talk of 'all our radars pointed to east' is rubbish, for pakistani public consumption, so is fake outrage of loss of sovereignty. I am sorry but operation was not really hollywood material. its carefully orchestrated drama. we dont know whether cia found it first or isi tipped off(more likely cia found it first and did a bargain with isi. The death of obl was purely symbolic, he was not in charge of any real operation)
what is not yet known, is whether isi was also complicit in keeping obl there in first place... I suspect they were.
The first traces of an important person in that location came from ISI.
But you need to understand American psyche here too. For America, OBL was a war trophy. One man for whom they purportedly invaded Afghanistan.
His AlQaeda had been rendered dysfunctional and ineffective and the symptom of this was this one time terror honcho hiding in a nondescript location and anonymously.
But this is what happens to countries who seem to be fighting wars on rent. Pakistan Army had significant contribution in decimating AlQaeda in the region and how OBL was. But since the focus of policy makers is only to get more dollars, the effort and sincerity for the cause is lost behind the shadow of greed.
