"What's common between Libya and Pakistan?"
"Nothing, Libya is oil-rich and we are not...oh I see, where you are going with this but even if you are a rabid anti-Zardari Pakistani the fact of the matter is that Qadhafi is obviously engaged in killing his own people while our President Zardari is not."
"I disagree with you there. President Zardari is on record as stating that he doesn't care about collateral damage with respect to the drone strikes and that his government would denounce the drone strikes in public while continuing to support them as official policy, and these revelations are sourced to WikiLeaks and in the book Obama's War, and considering that the President has not filed charges of defamation..."
"I get it. But you surely can't deny that the 'shoot to kill' orders have been given by Qadhafi, while no such orders have been issued here."
"I heard during the long march the army refused..."
"That's hearsay don't go there."
"OK, but our President likes to receive gifts and Qadhafi is more a gift giver than a receiver. I am referring to the expensive bullet proof cars that Qadhafi gifted to our country, which the President then bought for personal use from the Toshakhana by paying prescribed charges and..."
"They all keep gifts, Musharraf and Shaukat Aziz did too. But if you think gifts to the head of state or government of this country should not be allowed to be bought by the office holder after paying nominal charges then you need to change the law."
"This set of parliamentarians have been unable to agree on the accountability bill for three years..."
"I rest my case. Let it go."
"Anyway, one commonality that you did not mention and that is obvious is the fact that the US is using drones to hit targets in Libya as well as in Pakistan."
"Ah, but in Libya the strikes are without Libyan government approval while here it is with our government's approval."
"I wonder, if that would endear the current set of power players to the public."
"It won't but it doesn't matter really. There is another difference. We can ask the US to apologise for killing innocents by mistake while the Libyans cant."
"And sometimes the US obliges and other times not."
"Welcome to the world of Pakistan's foreign relations."
