What's in store for Pakistan?

On the next Your Call, we'll have a conversation with Fatima Bhutto, niece of assassinated Pakistani president Benazir Bhutto, and author of Songs of Blood and Sword: A Daughter's Memoir. As flood relief efforts continue, the U.S., with the support of the Pakistani government, has increased deadly drone operations. What explains this? Join us at 11 or send an email to feedback@yourcallradio.org. Bhutto says if it weren't for American money and political support, the Pakistani government would not be in power. What lies ahead in this relationship? It's Your Call, with Sandip Roy and you.
