Pak-US relations are defined with frequent ups and down in roller coaster motion from engagements to estrangement with shifting priorities of US. Pakistan, Once the most allied ally in 50s, turned in to most sanctioned ally of the United States in 90s. The discord in bilateral relations was transformed in to cooperation by 9/11 terrorists attack on US and Pakistan is listed as key ally in the War against terror in Afghanistan. Since the commencement of War against Terror in Afghanistan the pattern of inter states relation has taken turns with every major event and the changing tones of the last few years indicates that the sky over Pakistan once again seems to be overcast. The rhetoric of “do more” and suspension of all kind of military and economic aid is replica of the past. The backlash of War in Afghanistan appeared with bangs in Pakistan threatening its peace and stability on one hand and polarizing its socio-political fiber of the society on the other. Soon Pakistan’s army was left alone by US and the NATO in its operation against the safe heavens of terrorists alongside Durand line with disregard to all of its human and economic cost, suffered as non-NATO ally. Pakistan’s importance has once again being signified on the wake of US current strategy of Withdrawal of its forces and successful culmination of Afghan peace process. Pakistan needs to play its card as bargaining chip to seek US weight in resolving its economic, security and Kashmir related issue in befitting manner.
