The November 26 incident of Nato's strike on Pakistani military posts in the Mohammad agency of the Pakistani territory has unquestionably undermined the scope of bilateral US_PAK relations. Despite the fact that the Pentagon official inquiry of the sad event is underway, there appears a lull in the diplomatic and military communication between Washington and Islamabad.The backlash that has come from the Pakistani government in the forms of the blockade of the Nato's supply route to Afghanistan and the withdrawal of the US forces from the Shamsi air base may have caused some reflections on 'discomfiture for the Obama administration', but the realism advocates that by no means the set standards of international law, ethical bondage and civic norms- that have to maintain the 'edifice of bilateral cooperation' between the allies of the so-called war on terror- should have not been kept aside.
It goes without saying that both US and Pakistan have been engaged in this historical partnership for more than sixty years. And of course, history is evident of the fact their relationship has undergone through the 'tides of various vicissitudes and trails'. Yet it has had not developed such an atmosphere of 'estrangement and cold war' as it experiences now.
The emerging international order of globalization is characterizing 'new dimensions in the arena of international politics'.This order sets the 'prescience' that both the sides, the US and the Pakistani government cannot afford to divorce their relationship which is viewed by some analysts as the 'Catch-22 situation'-the core fact is: US needs Pakistan and vice versa.
What justice demands is the very exigency that the US administration should try to re-space and re accommodate this relationship not by dint of a 'hyper power's egoistically advocating postures' but by virtue of taking the 'candid gestures and initiatives' that a friend has to offer to an other partner.
