The inevitable happened after all.
It was just a matter of time. It seemed that those at the helm of powers in Pakistan had been quivering with desire to reopen the NATO lifeline after it was closed as a protest by the Pakistani Government in response to brutal massacre of Pakistan soldiers at Salalah checkpost. The Parliament had endorsed it and demanded an unconditional apology besides cessation of drone attacks etc. This step by our government in itself was so surprising and it seemed that they have decided to face America eye to eye.
The Americans started to feel the crunch as the alternate supply lines were proving to be too costly. Finally after months they came up with a reply that was short of unconditional apology. Moreover, it also implicated us in the matter equally. But surprisingly, after showing muscles all along, an executive decision ordered reopening of the NATO supply line in such a haste as if a balloon has burst. The matter was not even raised in the Parliament and all the hue and cry earlier about sovereignty of Parliament was allowed to go down the drain.
Now, they will have their cake and get to eat it too. Meanwhile, we will keep on reading about unabated drone strikes in our territory.
