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 coutry 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 has 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?

who are you, some neo-nazi scum with partisan blinders? Are you trying
to suppress my freedom of speech? Sorry I do not live in Pakistan.
Why don't you go there and help Musharraf run his dictatorship, so you can try to shut people up from expressing their thoughts.

For the sake of history;it was not Pakistan that created the Taliban or Al Quaida .The Taliban was armed by Ronald Reagan to combat the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan .The consequences of this support were deemed unimportant by Reagan ,whom had no understanding of the political ideology .The support from Pakistan was requested and given in echange for the nuclear bomb by the same Ronald Reagan .The detonators of such device were imported from the USA via South Africa .
These errors from the past might now come back to haunt them as the political situation in Pakistan is volatile .However the risk of fundamentalist islamist taking over Pakistan is overrated by Musharraf for the purpose of clinging to power .The support of islamist is estimated at about ten precent .Not very alarming .

It would appear that the real threat is Pakistan, not Iran, and if Bush and his twin weren't so intent on starting a war with Iran, they would know this!

Tonny is correct. You must not be alarmed by Islamist support. You will very much enjoy living under Caliphate. You will see.

After 9/11, Bush said ...Nov 7th, 2007 - 20:39:55

From Bush's speech given Sept.20th, 2001 ...

'From this day forward, any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the United States as a hostile regime.'


So here we are in 2007 ... Pakistan allows Al Qaeda to exist within it's borders ... even having an agreement with Al Qaeda ... agreeing that the Pakistani government will not pursue them in the northern border areas ...

And blatantly contradicting himself, Bush openly supports the Pakistani government ... the very same Pakistani government that harbors Al Qaeda within it's borders.

If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention.

tonny, I think that your synopsis can be proven correct, and I am aware
of the United States past involvement with the Taliban, although I merely
hinted at this, when I said that Pakistan was 'instrumental' in creating
the Taliban. The taliban was armed by the United States to fight the Russians, possibly as a 'get back' for the Russian support to North Vietnam earlier. We did create a frankenstein monster as a result of
supplying them with ak-47s aND stinger missles, money, etc. conduited thru Pakistani intelligence services. Incidentally, Iran has been fighting the Taliban since before 9/11, although the US govt doesn't want to recognize the facts. A lot of Americans are misinformed because of the propaganda of fear and paranoia perpetrated by the politicians.
Notice how crudely the crazies respond to thoughtful postings. All they
can do is preach fear and hate, and criticize free speech.

The sooner a Pakistan soldier stands up for his people and blows the head off the tyrant dictator the better.
