Re: American public views Pakistan poorly

but I guess what do you expect when people like Rush Limbaugh, Bill OReilly, Glenn Beck rule the air waves in this country. I will never forget when Bill Papa Bear OReilly was trying to bully a guest (might have been George Galloway) and said that the Iraq war was waged to get rid of a brutal dictator. Galloway (I think) said that America was in bed with the same dictator a few decades back. so, why did the US do business with the brutal dictator back then. OReillys response was something as follow: so what. that is ancient history and irrelevant now.

Not to defend O'Reilly as I hate the hack, but Galloway himself was in bed with dictators before. He not only supported the invasion of Afghanistan by the Soviets, but supported Saddam Hussein and Slobodan Milosevic.
