Many Pakistanis fear President Barack Obama’s re-election will mean a surge in America’s unpopular drone campaign, but for those making and selling US flags to burn at protests this could be good news.Yes, they manufacture the Stars & Stripes -
just to express some anti-American gripes!
Well, even without the drone campaign in particular, you could expect a lot of anti-American protests in Pakistan. They weren't too happy when we coptered those SEALs into Abbottabad to kill Bin Laden, either. I'm not sure what it would take to get them to like us again.
Not that being liked is, or should be, the chief goal of our foreign policy.
We could always try the Ron Paul strategy of not being Team America: World Police. He's pretty consistent about it. But a lot of people aren't.
Some say they want us to stop
playing global cop,
until some outrage occurs that they don't like.
Then they're on the phones
calling for the drones
to strike.
