NEW DELHI: Given the long history of cooperation between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, it's tempting to dismiss their announcement last week of a mutual security pact as mere paperwork, formalising a relationship that already exists. But it's much more than that. This is the first concrete indication of what a post-American world might look like - one that is far more insecure, unstable and unhappy. The two nations were indeed close for decades. In 1967 - two months after Israel's victory in the ...Read More >
