US Drone Policy and Anti-American Sentiments in Pakistan (2001-2012)

Abstract

After 9/11, it is observed that those anti-sentiments which were for India in Pakistan are replaced by the US nowadays. Although anti-American sentiments were there in Pakistan, but not that much severe as it increased after the US led war on terror. The US blamed al-Qaeda for the twin towers attack of 9/11. The US government demanded al-Qaeda members from Taliban government of Afghanistan. The Taliban government demanded proofs in case of al-Qaeda from the US government that to prove weather al-Qaeda was involved in the 9/11 attacks or not. But the US refused this demand of Taliban government, and declared Taliban government, and al-Qaeda as terrorists. The US started war on terror to eliminate these elements.
