Washington view
By S.M. Hali September 29, 2008 Alas that is not true! Much that I would like to believe in the ethnocentricity of Pakistan, the world and specially USA has much more important themes to discuss than Pakistan. The address in the UN by Iranian President Ahmadinejad, his subsequent appearance on the Larry King Live shows, the meeting between Indian Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh amid frantic efforts to win US Congressional support for the two countries' nuclear accord, which eked through Congress with a slender lead after an unusual extra day of sitting on Saturday with bi-partisan support now just needs the backing of the Senate which may vote next week on the issue.
There was brief mention of President Zardari's speech at the UN but then there was much more on his meeting with the Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin and his much talked about compliments to Ms Palin.
