It was quite a pleasure to watch the interesting interview of Hamid Karzai conducted by Saleem Safi on a popular private Pakistani TV network. The pleasure was to see the positive attitude of Mr. Karzai while expressing his feeling about Pakistan. In his comments he claimed to back Pakistan if it wars with US. These comments of his, stirred quite a controversy in the international media, even US law makers were stunned by this moment. However, if one watches with attention, he can fairly assume that Mr. Safi used his wits to corner somewhat emotional side of brotherhood of both nations. The comment was inevitable and just and not so intense that it can force 3 nations to change their foreign policies. Great expectations, hopes and fears are unnecessary to attach with this casual interview. At those moments he was seemingly more angry but loving brother, proposing a natural and emotional personal view, that can be called, to be on the safe side. However this cannot become basis of a complete U-turn of policies and strategies of all three stake holders (US, Pakistan and Afghanistan). This brings the far fetched happiness associated with the event to an unrealistic view.
