George Bush is about to leave
the White House. Now the big question is who will replace him?John
McCain(Republican) or Barack Obama(Democrat). As a pakistani, I am interested in
knowing which candidate is better for our country?
Hearing the presidential debates of both McCain and Obama, I cannot be
optimistic. Both candidates have talked about using force against Pakistan to
combat terrorism . The only difference is that Obama talked more openly against
Pakistan. Otherwise both candidates have same stance on the issue.
The situation is no different when it comes to debates of Vice Presidential
candidates Sarah Palin (Republican) and Joe Biden (Democrat). In their view,
Pakistan is the most dangerous country for world peace.
So the presidential candidates may have different plans to tackle internal
issues like financial crisis, tax cuts, insurance or abortion etc for their own
country. But when it comes to Pakistan or any other country, America’s foreign
policy will not change a great deal irrespective of the fact who is in power
Barack Obama or John McCain.
