Not without reasons President Barack Obama sheds in part his US leadership role of South Asia for China.With an economy in recession and financial system in tatters, US owes China trillions of dollars that the latter holds in Treasury bonds .Furthermore, having acquired an insider vision in the financial system,China threatens to damage the dollar’s imperialistic sways by floating SDR (Special Drawing Rights) and alternative basket of currencies.
But the US misses the crucial point .It has actually been nailed down in South and West Asia.In Iraq, Afghanistan and Af-Pak region, owing to its erroneous appreciation and lack of knowledge of Topography, traditional cultures ,regional environs and war scenarios of the involved area of operation .Further, the military operations were carried out ineptly without properly setting out aims and goals in a clear manner .Also US was wooed deceitfully by Pakistan to lead the operations to Afghanistan through a lawless tribal area (FATA) inhabited by Pashtuns having historical and strong ethnic ties with the Pashtun population of Afghanistan on the other side of the Durrand Line.There was thus an all round failure of military and political leaders of wars that were picked up haphazardly.
