While some have suggested that the visit is to "corner" Pakistan, this view can best be described as being "myopic." Pakistan has its own importance and has a strategic role to play both economically and militarily in the region, and in the world. It should not be forgotten the country is a nuclear power and as former president General Mussharraf once stated the country's nuclear arsenal is not for fireworks. I just hope people and political leaders would think and work for peace in the region rather than plan on "cornering" or obliterating a country from the map of the world.
