#1 Now that the Taliban have been booted, the new fear is that the Afghans will start growing lots of poppies again. It's almost irresistable for the farmers; no other cash crop pays nearly as well. We should be buying off farmers if necessary, and making it clear to Karzai that our support evaporates if he can't get the opium situation under control.

And of courser, we need to squash the ISI like a bug.

#2 Reading this, following the "urging" of the State Department for our civilians to leave Pakistan, I'd say that Pakistan has finally made it onto the list of "Nations to be revived". Good place to stay away from for a few years. Pak has nukes, so the way we handle them would be different than how we're taking care of Iraq, and even more unique from what we're doing in Afghanistan. The list keeps getting longer... Looks like the ENTIRE Arab world will need a little "re-education" before we can live in peace in THIS nation.

#3 Like we always said growing up, "Cops got the best dope."
