US war on terror and Bangladesh
Can a Bangladesh government representative ever think of meeting the US Secretary of State in Washington, talk with her for an hour and convey the message "The people of Bangladesh are shocked due to US invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq"?
But an US Admiral, William J. Fallon, held discussion with a minister for one hour and said, "Bangladesh is marked on the map of US war on terror as a possible haven of international terrorists."
We wonder what authority has an ordinary US navy officer got to poke his nose into diplomatic matters when the US government itself has posted a civilian full-time ambassador in Dhaka to look after Bangladesh-US relations.
