President Asif Zardari hits back at US criticism of Pakistan - Telegraph

Mr Zardari said Pakistanis were suspicious because of America's support for Islamic militants during the war against the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan and its support for military dictators such as General Zia and General Musharraf.


"That decade turned our peaceful nation into a 'Kalashnikov and heroin' society a nation defined by guns and drugs. In its fight against the Soviets, the US supported the most radical elements within the mujahedeen, who would later become the Taliban and al-Qaeda. - Pakistan hits back at US criticism
