Islamabad Dateline: Oh America!
By Anjum Niaz

Many moons ago, American Ambassador Thomas Simons said in an interview that the first thing he was asked by his Pakistani guests when they came to his home in Islamabad was to get them and their families an American visa.

It became the bane of his and wife Peggy's life. This was the time when Pakistan had not yet exploded its nuclear bomb. Nawaz Sharif was at the helm and apart from the corruption, nepotism and favouritism stories emanating from the Prime Minister's House, life was normal and America was kept at bay.
