Snubbed and benched in Chicago, a week ago, at the NATO summit on Afghanistan, the ally from hell, Pakistan is angry — and insulted. And a livid Pakistan is like a maniac with a suicide vest on, grenade in his mouth and a gun to his head. Not to mention, the nukes piled in the garage.

u00a0President Asif Ali Zardari, who muscled his way into Chicago representing his country as a Major non-NATO Ally, was more like a nuisance guest, pleading and cajoling for an apology from the host. The apology he wanted was for the Salala incident of November 26, 2011 when US-led NATO forces opened fire on two Pakistani border posts, killing up to 24 Pakistani soldiers. That incident led to Pakistan giving marching orders to the US out of the Shamsi airfield in Balochistan, and the closure of the NATO supply line into Afghanistan. They have remained closed ever since, resulting in a heavier financial and logistical burden on the NATO forces in Afghanistan.
