But the US now thinks its on the verge of victory with the Mehsud killings and the capture of Taliban leaders in Pakistan and Afghanistan. It would take a sea change in attitudes to make them change policy at this time. One way would be to have the Pakistani government come clean on this. They've been playing this duplicitous role - criticizing publicly but acquiescing secretly. It seems Tiger isn't the only one cheating here. What's that line again - Responsibility! What's your policy? Imran, you’re right on as far as the drone killings go.

What is surprising is that no one in the US is speaking about the hundreds and possibly thousands killed in FATA through drones. I was in Pakistan recently and met Imran Khan who told me that nearly 20,000 people have been killed. He also said that there are no journalists allowed in the region so no one can verify the claims of different parties. Why are people so surprised that there is a deep rooted animosity towards muslims in general and Pakistanis in particular in India. The Hindu short sightedness is the core reason for Pakistan creation. See another blog titled "<a href="http://imranhkhan.com/2009/10/19/why-and-how-of-pakistans-creation/" rel="nofollow">Why and How of Pakistan’s Creation</a>". I saw Tiger's apology in entirety as it has adversely effected the game of golf. While he said most of the right words, it lacked emotions. I got a sense that he was going through the motions so that powers that be will let him out on the golf course. I think by rushing it and not having his wife on his side, is going to prolong people accepting him back, even though he may get on the course earlier.
