''Pakistan and the Iran pipeline''

"Why did President Asif Ali Zardari defy the United States (by going ahead with the Iran-Pakistan pipeline deal) and claim during his speech in Larkana that he cares a toss for the US?
Consider. The Pakistan-Iran pipeline, if it ever gets off the ground, will only happen after, at best, three years because even the feasibility study that has just been commissioned by Pakistan won’t be completed till October 2013 and the pipeline construction can only commence when that is done. By that time, parts of Iran will be charred to smoking heaps and the pipeline project a part of history. Or, if that does not happen, Iran will arguably possess a nuclear weapon."
