Outside of Zionism, the US drone program is the largest terrorism program on the planet. It's used to terrorize whole civilian populations on a daily basis, and the bases they kill from are often in neighboring countries. Imran Khan was always right about this.

Then I look at Brazil. After prison, Lula seems much more open - to the influence of empire. May Pakistan find better results from Khan's freedom and return to government.

My memory may be wrong, but I think that in 1972 I asked Noam Chomsky, visiting Toronto, about President Nixon's tilt towards Pakistan. And I think he said that Nixon just liked dictators. He was not the only US president who did. Trump likes them even more.

But I also think of a line from a song John McCutcheon wrote about the events of 1989: "There's no turning back this tide."
