US says Pakistan harassing its diplomats

"Not to mention the horrible security checks and the visa denials that are done by the US against Pakistanis..."

Horrible security checks? What are you babbling in light of Pakistan's behavior to our diplomats whom are afforded immunity by protocol and require severe security arrangements to stay alive long enough in your country to do their jobs. It is from Pakistan's border area that the worst attack upon American civilians was planned. Nonetheless, Pakistan's embassy is staffed by the full complement which has been requested.

MORE IMPORTANTLY-

Some 210,000 U.S. citizens of Pakistani descent reside in our nation, many of them first generation Americans (i.e. immigrants). The Pakistani Embassy estimates there are at least another 290,000 Pakistanis living here on temporary or work visas as well as illegally.

Care to compare any of that to Pakistan.

Who's getting harassed again?:disagree:

Thanks.:usflag:

Try to walk through JFK as a Pakistani and then talk. By comparison Americans are treated with humongous hospitality. Your American JOB isn't supreme over the safety and well being of my countrymen.

Also, in a way they are protecting everyone, including the Americans. Are you seriously saying Americans are above committing crimes? History doesn't speak so highly of you, especially your diplomatic staff. So as long as they are venturing out of American consulates, they should go through the same checks placed upon any of us.

Perhaps Americans won't be rejected their visas if they didn't put forth candidates of questionable characteristics. Re-apply with newer candidates, simple as that. Tough.

Please ignore America. Ignore your war on your lands. I'm sure it's all an illuminating illusion.

The brave taliban ran faster into Pakistan than our 100 special forces guys could attack...on horseback.:lol:

Your country, your borders, your problem.

It's your war. Fight for your survival or see Pakistan slip beneath the waves.

Thanks.:usflag:

No.

They will be extended the same diplomatic immunity that you offer to the diplomats of every other country in Pakistan. If you cannot or will not comply, America should leave Pakistan.

I'd be fine with that.

Make a decision, declare it, and accept responsibility for your actions.

Thanks.:usflag:

You have diplomatic immunity from prosecution. There's nothing that prevents us from searching your vehicles for weapons and any illegal substances.

If you won't help prevent crimes, then we all want you out.

Pharisical remark !!!

Taking billions in aid on one hand and showing attiude on other. The US can if it wants turn Pak into Afganistan in retaliation for Pak harbouring taliban. But it is giving you money and monitoring so that your politicians don't eat it all. Yet you guys are showing attiude ?? Think over it.

not even want out.....they wont be allowed in in the first place if they dont follow the laws and regulations

Yes, please cancel all aid :). The majority of Pakistanis don't want aid. There is little to nothing really reaching Pakistanis, most of the aid is just bribe money for politicians subservient to Americans.

My attitude is not up for discussion here, but anyway, Pakistan's national interest demands that we implement security checks uniformly upon all individuals, the safety and well being of Pakistanis is supreme and a little inconvenience to Americans, is not. If you think any amount of money is more valuable than Pakistani security, you're barking up the wrong tree.

Pak will be in deep economic trouble without it. Forget Prez Zardari was demanding $100 billion not long ago. With money being doled out for rehab of Northwest and FATA as also the Baluchistan package. Pak need every penny as was visible during Prez Zardai's China and Freinds of Pak meetings.

I was talking about Pak's attitude and not your's. Do you seriously believe that Us diplomats are running mafia and trading opium ???. Why do they have to be checked so rigrously.

Let us worry about deep economic problems. For 60 years we've received this aid and we've been in deep economic problems any way.

They have to be checked a regular amount, at least. Any airport worth its salt would check any minister before it boards a plane. What next, we allow diplomats on airlines without checking? Security checks are in place due to some reason or the other privy to the authorities. If they suspect there would be something illegal passing through a particular checkpoint, they'd check em. The idea is not to harass people, but to catch criminals. If you're not a criminal you've got nothing to worry about.

US couldnt stabilize Iraq which is 20-30 million population. Having a real difficult time in the Afghanistan

Pakistan population is MUCH larger than TWICE the population of both countries combined, with one of the largest Armed Forces in the world.

Yes we are not militarily superior to the US, but any talk of "US turn Pak into Afganistan in retaliation " is far from reality and just a dream that could not , under any circumstances, be a reality


its silly to talk that way even, because we can already see how much success US army is having in its two engagements.

As far as your logic goes, there should be no problem for muslims to be strip searched at US airports ???

Man there is a big difference between harassing and checking. The point is US or any other diplomats are not amenable to Pak laws. And there is reciprocity of these measures. So you guys check while the US is sitting on your aid.
