I did not wish Paul dead but wished him permanent space travel far, far from us. Impointed that out to you when you baselessly complained but, choosing to ignore my response, you did not ping me.

It wasn't you I was referring to. Apologies if I implied otherwise. There are freepers out there who believe that Paul really is guilty of treason and should be punished accordingly.

Your explanation is fully accepted. Further, I have several times called him a treasonous weasel. I understand that his opposition to the war does not fit the legal definition of the crime of treason. He certainly should not be prosecuted much convicted much less executed.

However, the foreign policy views which he holds and expresses are infinitely foolish. It does not take a nuclear physicist to figure out that Al Qaeda and the Taliban did not favor Bhutto's candidacy. I am not sure what to think about her assassination. I certainly recognize the interest of Pervez Musharaff in not wanting to face her in an election in which she was leading in the polls. I don't particularly trust Musharaff. I did not really trust her.

I do think that the Taliban and Al Qaeda have the strongest motives, particularly if she was actually claiming that a victory in the election would allow her to force a real hunt for ObL and his terrorist friends in Pakistan.

I cannot imagine trusting paleoPaulie to be in charge of the USA while Pakistan's stability and nuclear weapons are in play. One of Bush's less noticed and greatest accomplishments is prying India off their long time strategic dependence on the Russkis That won't last if the Pakistani government and nukes wind up controlled by the Islamofascist nutcases who might want an above-ground nuclear weapons test in Delhi and or Calcutta. The problem with those who, like paleoPaulie, are forever bleating "Peace, peace", even with good intentions is that their spineless policies result in wars otherwise unnecessary. Our enemies, like sharks, smell blood in the water and attack the weak and spineless. Kumbaya is not a dependable policy. Neither is general free trade.
