WoW, The U.S. wants to improve it's image in Pakistan!!!! Here are my suggestions: No. 1 The U.S. should END the wanton murder of innocent Pakistani citizens with drones operated by Muslim haters in the U.S. No. 2. The U.S. should put Raymond Davis on trial for the execution murder of Pakisnan's young motorbike riders. No. 3 The U.S. should return to Pakistan the driver of the Embassy Staff Car that struck and killed the cyclist trying to pluck Raymond Davis from the angry crowd that was surrounding him. No. 4. The U.S. should not allow any of its citizens into Pakistan with weapons who have seen Rambo kill any more than 500 Muslims in the Rambo Movies widely shown in the U.S. No. 5. The U.S. should publish an apology on the front page of all major newspapers in Pakistan for allowing sick anti Muslim Neocons to put the Muslim hating morons like Raymond Davis secretly into Pakistan to kill Pakistan's citizens. No. 6. The U.S. should stop immediately it's murdering, torturing, bribing and raping of citizens of Pakistan and should issue apologies to the families of all the victims of their crimes committed in Pakistan. No.7. The U.S. should pledge to henceforthly work by honest and peaceful efforts to resolve the problems caused by their invasions, murder, rapes and bribes.
