Claire Danes is depicted as the worst Station Chief in the history of the CIA. Every source she developed got killed and her bungling got the US Embassy overthrown and it's CIA component slaughtered, not to mention almost going to war with Pakistan.
That country should be nuked for harboring Osama Bin Laden for all those years.
"an ugly, ignorant, terror-plagued, democratic, Islamic “hellhole.”"
The CIA has a habit of hiring silver spoons with high opinions of themselves for embassy appointments. This I know for a fact; I’ll just leave it there...
Being civilized is a package deal founded on a tradition of rational thought, the rule of law and sound morality.
Pakistan’s relationship with lawless Taliban is downright irrational and immoral.
If Pakistan wants to join the modern world, let them destroy Taliban and erase Taliban mentality. The fact that this would be cost them a small civil war exactly proves my point. The primary principle of the rule of law is that there can only be one sovereign.
Ugly? Check.
Ignorant? Check.
Terror-plagued? Check.
Hellhole? Check.
So what’s the problem? Did they leave out barbaric, backward, anarchic, and muslim? That’s because those are redundant.
“....an ugly, ignorant, terror-plagued hellhole...”
Pakistan has a right to be angry; at such an incomplete description of their nation. The writer left out bigotted, decadent, and Godless!
The truth hurts, eh?
To be fair, members of communities, including nations, where life is getting worse, where children don’t have the chances that their parents had and grandchildren have no chance at all RARELY blame themselves.
In 1948, Pakistan and India started on a more-or-less equal footing. Look at them now.
Whether in the micro (Ferguson) sense, or the macro (Pakistan) sense, the participants in social decline will want to blame somebody.
Pretty much characterizes most of the Arab world.
Obama said he watches Homeland. I saw Season One and it was decent. I never saw it after that because I heard the plots got too far out.

And she was sleeping with terrorist.
They only stone people who really deserve it.
“You can’t keep snakes in your own backyard and expect them to only bite your neighbors.”
Now that's something you don't see everyday.
Sounds like a documentary.
If you’re catching flak it’s because you’re over the target.
