Hello, world.

LOL, it appears that everyone got my Programming reference.

Thanks for the welcomes, everyone.

Well, mubashirrao, to answer your questions. I am definitely a White American. My aunt traced my ancestry and found English, Scottish, Irish, and German. So I'm probably about as Anglo-Saxon as you can get. I suppose you don't know if I'm a spy, but I actually get that a lot. People have asked me here in the US whether I'm a Russian spy, so I guess I just give off that vibe. I guess being intelligent, polite, and quiet freaks people out a little? LOL.

I want to observe politics in order to learn about how people see things in that part of the world. I hear a lot of negative things on the news about countries that we're at war with, but I don't hear a lot of the positive news about countries like Pakistan unless I specifically seek it out. I mean, I'm also somewhat interested in the politics of former British colonies in general, because they all seem to have a conflicted sense of identity.

Do I want Pakistan to have positive views of Americans? Well, yeah, of course... I'm an American, and I certainly prefer being liked to being disliked. It wouldn't bother me at all for Pakistan to become a friendlier place for technology companies to do business, and the kind of political policies I would personally favor might arguably benefit companies like Microsoft, AT&T, or Apple if they wanted to do business in your country. I'm not planning to push those views on people, but if my opinion is asked, it will likely be very pro-business and pro-trade. I think strong economies are important for all countries.

We're from the South, and it was hard to find opportunities out in Georgia and Alabama so my family moved to Texas. Everyone's moving to Texas because that's where the jobs are.

Well believe me, we wouldn't be surprised to find out if you are a spy. ;) And you are in right place. But i would suggest, you'll never know real Pakistan unless you are in Pakistan. If you want to know about Pakistan so just visit it.
And about Political relationship i will make it very easy for you.
Pakistan a friendly nation to US is always ditched and back stabbed by US. Being a Muslim Nation America cannot afford to see Pakistan rising prospering as it is a continuous threat to Israel and US has always tried to keep any thing good happening in Pakistan. US would even not allow us to elect our own leaders, they would fund the corrupts or buy army generals and will command them accordingly and that ensures that Pakistan never progress.
We have nothing against America but American dream has always been to destroy all Muslim nations across the globe and keep Israel healthy.
They would turn blind eye to Israel's war crimes but would invade and destroy a whole country for false allegation WMD.

We never gained anything out of this relationship with US and We Believe Strongly that we never would. Those fund$ you give as aid are the charges for US to use our routes.
US to Pakistan is what Wile E. Coyote to Road Runner, Always trying.

By US here i mean is US Government.

And far as Americans are concerned we find them very gullible who are consistently fed wrong information and lies through media that has made them extremely Islamophobic. If you visit american forums they have so wrong idea about any country who is not in America's interest. Most of Americans think that whole Muslim world lives in "Middle East" and middle east to them is ISIS and ISIS to them is all Muslims. Sharia Law to them is what ISIS preaches.

Again, You are in right place to find out the truth.

Good Luck :)
