The present study tried to address questions related to USA Pakistan being allied at different national and international fora but Pakistan being the victimised/suffering friend and USA being a powerful/dictating ally only. The quarries addressed were: If the members of victimized group expect mere acknowledgements of their suffering from their ally groups, or they are in need of action expressions or passive sorrows. This exploration was followed by which expressions offer higher hope, and satisfaction to the suffering group. The paper capitalized on experimental design using the condolence offered by the U.S. after the Peshawar School Massacre. Across conditions, recruiting between subjects design with 209 university students in Islamabad, experimental manipulation included: sorry-expressions (feel sorry), action expressions (actionexpressions: feel outraged/feel responsible), and sorrow expressions (sorrow-expressions: feel guilty/feel regret). Results suggest that statements with mere sorry expressions fall short of conveying much hope for change and pain shared by the ally; participants reported more satisfaction in response to action-expressions (outrage-responsibility) than in response to sorrow-expressions (guilt-regret).
