I can not understand the logic behind the US government's support for
the military dictator in Pakistan. This is the country that was instrumental in creating the Taliban and al qaeda. [Along with Saudia Arabia]. This is the country that intelligence reports say is harboring
osama bid laden today, six years after 9/11. This is the country that has allowed a vast narco-terrorist network to thrive in Pakistan and
Afghanistan. This is the country that shared nuclear weapons technology
with North Korea. This is a country with an estimated 50-60 nuclear bombs
and missle delivery systems. This is the military dictatorship that the United States has given billions of dollars to, supposedly help us fight our war on the 9/11 terrorist network. But they have done next to nothing
as Musharraf takes our money and laughs at us behind our backs. This is
a military dictatorship that makes a complete mockery of the United States
quest to bring freedom and democracy to the middle east region.
I have read comments from other posters who cowardly claim that
we could not attack Pakistan after 9/11, or now, because that would de-stabilize the region. Meanwhile, isn't that what we did by attacking Iraq, instead of Pakistan? The 9/11 al qaeda terrorist training bases are in Pakistan, not Iraq. Osama bin laden is taunting the US from Pakistan, not Iraq. The British subway bombers were from Pakistan, not Iraq. Why is the United States so cowardly that it can not eliminate osama bin laden, and bring freedom and democracy to Pakistan?
