#1 It is unwise and bad policy for the U.S. government to force foreign leaders to do what they perceive to be "good" for the United States to the detriment of their own countries -- to choose between U.S. interests and the interest of their own people.

This must not happen in a new administration -- it will not if I have a role to play.

barf. A few dinner conversations and the guy apparently has a handle on this whole situation. If only he were in charge. While he states some truths, he never once acknowledges how providing civilian authority to the military will be good for Pakistan given the great chance that Islamists could win the elections.

There are no simple solutions, so he just blames the US and claims all we need to is put him in charge and viola! magically it will be fixed. He must have been a Kerry supporter.
