I know for a fact that some Pakistanis have flown for several Arab nations.....

Had dinner once in Islamabad with with several Pakistani Air Force Generals...A little Chinese resturaunt around the corner from the Marriot Hotel..... We recanted flying stories (I'm a pilot)...A couple learned to fly in the US...Dallas Fort Worth area......Funny side note, one General came back to the Hotel later to have a few drinks with me, since the Islamabad Marriot doesn't have a Bar (Islamic rules) the only "wet" places in the city are the hotel rooms (westerner's only) and the embassies. You can order a bottle to the room so he joined me for a couple of Jack Daniels....Most these guy's were schooled in Great Britian or the US and have aquired a taste for western culture...

However, they still hate us and never trust them...

But back to the original issue, all of them flew for other Muslim nations under the host countries flag....

Several flew combat missions against Israel in earlier conflicts...

BTW, the Pakistanis hate Israel....If you import communications gear and/or computer equipment, they will open the box to inspect the that any of the chip sets do not originate in Israel.

Algeria is one country you cannot get a work visa if you have an Israel stamp in your US passport. Don't know about others.

The danger is the younger officers, some of whom have not been trained in the west since Zia began the Islamization of the country.

You're correct; outward manifestations of cordiality can't be taken at face value, even from those nominally proAmerican.

But then, as has been pointed out often, I'm biased and have an agenda, being from Inja and all. :>>

I hope you explained to them that they've got to pry off the labels and open the case of each hard drive to check if any of the platters say "Made in Israel".
