Tense times, eh?
“Tense times, eh?”
Maybe desperate may be more like it. Just a few months ago I was arguing with some Americans of Indian background in a pub. They were mouthing the typical anti-American third worldism they inherited from their parents.
I said that the US was trying to work with Bhutto to return/work with the Pakistani government. They insisted that was not true. As one guy was leaving he said that was propaganda. I said we shall see.
Not only did it turn out to be true, there was good reason behind it. I said it was a desperate situation.
And now it is just that.
