Personally I’ve believed that we should have aggressively attacked western Pakistan since shortly after 9/11.

Also the Afghan opium business - which is largely run from Pakistan to the profit or terrorists - needs to be destroyed, probably just by buying up the entire annual opium crop at 25 percent above the price offered by Pakistani and Iranian heroin manufacturers.

Excellent strategy.

Let's attack a nuclear-armed country of 175M people with a military of 1.5M.

That's about half the size of our military, and you may have heard we have other commitments around the world.

I have no doubt we could conquer and rule Pakistan if we decided to. I just don't see why we would want to. Doing so would not permanently inconvenience the jihadis. They'd just displace to some other location and egg us on to attack it.

Personally, I have believed we should of made a glass parking lot out of the entire muslum world after 9-11, starting with the Palestinians celebrating the 9-11 attacks in the streets.
