I am sure there is a reasonable explanation, but he put his name to a sloppy column where he says he does not care about socialism at home, claims he is a Pakistani who visited his ancestral homelands in Afghanistan, and then refers to 'his country' rather ambiguously, though I see many just assumed he meant the United States...me? not so sure...

Your 'multinational phony' complaint is cheap and completely without merit. As for "his country", I thought it was fairly clear that he meant Pakistan, and that he is only interested in American foreign policy -- why should he be any more concerned about our domestic spending than, say, I am about Italy's?

After all I'm a Pakistani with no interest in the debates over . . . [American domestic issues] To put it simply, American politics bore me.
Doesn't sound much like an American at all.
