Whilo we are being "patient" and "reasonable", Pakistan is going the way of Iran, and we are leaving Afganistan to the thoroughly corrupt warlords and the paid-off drug pusher Karzai.
As one astute Fox News analyst said, "we don't need Pakistan as a democracy right now". Chilling to American ears perhaps, but true. The U.S. should have 50,000 men in Afganistan and Pakistan, and have total control of their nukes. In addition, the Saudi/American axis of graft must be smashed once and for all, regardless of the political, financial and industrial carnage which would follow.
