Court the hell out of India. That way, when we go over the borders to eliminate terror nests, Pakistan will be unable to take action because India will be sitting right there, ready to exploit them. Basically, lock them down guarding against India so we can do what we need to do.
The government of Pakistan has ceded control of Waziristan to the Taliban and AQ. Because of that, we now have the right to take care of the problem there.
In the 21st century, the world can longer afford "tribal areas" that are off limits to civilized people. Perhaps in the past it would have made no difference. But now, these "tribal areas" are producing terrorists and terror enablers by the thousands. The Madrassas alone recruit young men for radicalization and jihad.
We know this. And Pakistan has just told the world it can't control its own territory.
Well, we can't control it, but we can do something about it.
I don't really care if Pakistan doesn't like it. What are they going to do? Attack us? Really?
Yes, they have nukes. It's my understanding that we know where they are and have a plan to secure them if necessary. We cannot allow an Isalmist state with nukes. Their right to have them ends when they threaten us.
Deal with it now, or we'll be dealing with the blowback for decades.
The ONLY reason we became allies with the Pakis back in the 1970s was to counter India, which was a leader of the "Third World" movement. That movement is dead, and India is now our friend and ally. Pakistan serves no purpose to us today as a bulwark against anything. If they are not only going to have Islamists in the military and intelligence services, and give the Taliban and AQ free reign in the "tribal areas", then they are not helping us at all.
Pakistan insists it can't send its own troops into "tribal areas" because the region is too primitive. Sorry, but that's not an excuse. Deal with your own people or we will do it for you.
The three of you get it. Go to the head of the class.
I am sure the People's Republic of China might have something to say (or rather do) about your well meaning suggestions-like attacking whomever attacks Pakistan!!
