Bush to visit Pakistan and India
President Bush has planned to visit India and Pakistan in March. Apparently, his visit to the region does not include Bangladesh. It appears that our country doesn't merit a visit as being a small country in the region and having little or no effect on the war on terror. Pakistan's location next to Afghanistan has given it a significant degree of pull with the current US administration. We do not have nuclear power and therefore we are not a threat to any country other than ourselves (which we have proved over and over again). Our socio economic condition, political instability and corruption create a negative image for investors. Again the west has little or no vested interest in our country, at least not enough to merit a visit from the leader of the United States.
