While I understand what you are saying the general public most likely will not be seeing it that way at all.
Iraq had every right to refuse entry to the US troops into their borders and the US instead of dealing with it and working around it declared a war on the country...merely on suspicion and no evidence whatsoever. So now they move Pakistan into a most favored nation position after it has already shown itself to only ally itself with whoever is paying the bills....so in a year or two are they going to ally with N Korea if the price is right?
You see my point here at all?
