Pakistani story goes like this.
To issue a "diplomatic" stamp on the passport, Pakistani authorities demand the exact job functions a diplomat is expected of perform. Pakistan foreign office has notified the US embassy many a times to provide the relevant documents, so that the necessary paper work can be done.
The nature of Raymond's visa is "official" as evident from the attached picture.
The official visa form does have a section for diplomatic. See Picture.
The overall mood of Pakistani population is anti-american. Why? This was not out war, We only provided our land to USA to meet her objective. In the process, we invited unrest to our land. The most effected piece of land affected by terrorist activity is Pakistan. I have never heard shopping centers and buildings being targeted by suicide bombers in USA during the past 9 year. On the contrary, there is a bombing in Pakistan every two weeks. Pakistan was quite peaceful before that.
As far as the "aid" money goes and my opinion goes. I don't consider it aid. We leased you our land, the money we are getting is not even fair compensation. It is peanuts, considering the amount of damage we have taken. Our economy has gone to dogs, the investor confidence is shaken, the price of everything has taken a hike.
So if denying a murderer diplomatic immunity means we are thrown into a diplomatic isolation, I say, go for it. We have already paid a high enough price for being a friend.
As far as the safety of our nuclear arsenal goes, nobody need to worry about it. We can perfectly take care of ourselves. AWC (air weapon complex) and NDC (national development complex) are on the cutting edge of technology. The amount of education man power works at these places is simply amazing, considering we are a developing nation.
Who are we kidding? America needs Pakistan, and Pakistan will come calling. The game being played at the moment is to remind America of Pakistan's importance, and to tell them that we are not to be treated as a used condom.
