Restrictions on UAE but not Pakistan?
Criteria seems to be very random here. I'd like SoFE to tell us more about his criteria.
For example, Pakistan as an "important ally" is grossly overrated and it's human rights record is far worse than UAE, which is one of the best Arab countries to live in.
Pakistan doesn't do their job as "ally in war on terror". A freaking Bin Laden was hiding there for years and I won't believe that at least some elements within Pakistani army/intelligence and, yes, government, didn't know.
