Lahore, Jan. 18 -- Was sending foreign minister to Iran, Saudi Arabia and US really all that necessary?What was the big deal in it ?Aren't we a bit overconfident in our belief that the leaders of the three countries which the FM visited would give their ear to us about the pros and cons of the recent imbroglio in the middle East? We aren't a super power nor can we influence Washington and Riyadh who have been our almoners.

Tehran too looks at us with a suspecting eye over our too much dependence on the US in the past. We should be concentrating instead, more and more, on Balochistan whose law and order situation is far worse than it was ever before. Our enemies have been trying to stir sectarian trouble in that province by suicide bombings...
