@ Simian- I agree. “Friends” who come calling because they just want money are not really “friends” and allies.

Pakistan is probably the most dangerous country on the planet, much more so than any potential threat from Iran or North Korea, in my opinion. Because of the apparent, underlying instability of the country, the nature of its demographics, its literacy rate, and all this compounded by the fact that they have a pile of nuclear weapons and the delivery systems to make them count, that’s why we have to deal with them. All the above is up and beyond any concerns about the northwest, the Taliban, and Al Queda.
