True.
You know there are areas of Pakistan which the government does not control. Pakistan has been an excellent ally in the war on terrorists and has paid the price thereof.
I do not believe its government is behind these attacks.
Saudi Arabia is not our enemy either and did not create al Queda. No matter if some of its citizens are. The Royal family cannot be too aggressive against the religious authorities or it will be overthrown. However, that appears to be changing.
Bin Laden's goal is to take over Saudi Arabia.
Any country which wilfully allows areas under it's territory to be lawless or pretends that they are,doesn't deserve to exist-simple as that.
The Saudis & Pakis are American allies-well tell that to the countless victims of terrorism sponsored by their money across the world.The Paki military has clear links with terrorists of every hue.Numerous Saudi government organs & charities fund terror.
These states are guilty by association,if not by direct involvement.
The Royal Family created these very fundamentalists in order to secure it's hold on power.About the chickens coming home to roost,well that is another matter altogether.
That is simply false.
Pakistan is not a complete country but a crabbed together concoction of the British. It is a work in progress at best. India though created at the same time had a long history as a people and nation.
If left to their inclinations the people of Pakistan would turn their country into a REAL terrorist state. Mushareff would never be elected by them.
Saudi and Pakistan are indeed allies and have performed valuable service in this war.
