Considering our options in Pakastan after 9/11, we have got about the best result we could have hoped for.

I've got to believe that the Bush administration knows Pakistan is our enemy as well. It's like being in bed with Stalin against Hitler in WWII. It's only a matter of time before the snake bites us anyway, that is his nature. The fact that we are still in a "relationship" with (if you can call it that) Saudi Arabia, the fountainhead of Al Quaeda and Wahhabism, confirms the fact that we have strange partners in this war on terrorism. Schizophrenic in fact.
I suspect the permanent military bases we are building in Iraq are there in order to deal with Iran, Pakistan, Syria, etc. as we proceed down this road in dealing with the madness of Islam in all it's manifestations. However, that's assuming Iraq will become a democracy (of some kind) and friend of the West. Only time will tell. History,in dealing with Islam, unfortunately, has not been promising.
