#1 Blah, blah, blah.

And what are YOUR alternatives oh great and wonderful OZ?

In case you forgot, Pakiwaki has the bomb. Other than supporting Perv what / who will keep that out of the hands of the ISI Islamofascists?

I don't like Perv, but, I've heard of no good alternative, have you?

#2 Bush has done a heck of a lot to help insure several things:

1) Pakistan is allied with us, not China.
2) After the Chinese built the Paks a great big modern deep water port, the US Navy gets to use it too.
3) We still want Perv to run his whole country, not just parts of it.
4) We cooled down the nuclear fuss with them and India, and it will stay that way.

For every annoyance that Pakistan gives us, we get a lot of good in return. We know that Perv is in much the same position as Damocles, but if we can slowly tip the balance so he becomes strong, eventually he *can* put the blocks to the bad guyz in his country.

But it is a friggin' process.

#3 the US had given Pakistan more than US $10 billion in military, economic and development assistance in the five years since the Sept 11, 2001 attacks

Best $100,000 ever spent by Pakistanis.
