But there's another way. We can tell the truth.
"Dear people of Pakistan, your government works with America. It helps us target the Jihadists who want to conquer your state and harm our citizens. But if your government persists in defaming us loudly in public while they're helping us quietly in secret, we'll pretend to believe them and leave, and you'll be on your own.
"Of course, the Jihadists want to destroy what little democracy you have. You clearly don't want that. The polls show it and your votes prove it. But if you want to stop them from suicide bombing you into submission, you'll have to do it yourselves.
"Unless you ask for our help. If you want America's drones and bombers, you need to say so. Then, when we come, you won't be able to hate us.
"You'll hate us anyway. That's human nature. But you'll be playing pretend with yourselves, and you'll know it."
