I RECENTLY watched a programme on Star World. I fail to understand why Pakistan, which has lost the most in this war on terrorism, is being depicted as an ally to terrorists and maligned.

Is that what we get from the world after losing hundreds and thousands of our innocent brethren as a repercussion to the war started by someone else? This is sad and infuriating at the same time. Is there any light at the end of the tunnel?
