But the situation is far from peachy either. Or perhaps, you want Pakistan to become some somalia before you say that we have a problem. No wonder the UN is considered a worthless pos and america wants to cut its funding.

Now, i am no way in favor of how we conducted the whole “afghan bhai” refugees, but fighting the war was a necessity in the sense that we would be in a strategic nightmare if there ever was a war with india with Soviets sitting in afghanistan. I believe the soviets had asked permission in 1965 to fly over afghanistan, but zahir shah had refused it. Ultimately, Pakistan should not want any superpower in afghanistan, but instead get its act together so afghanistan can’t resist the economic might of Pakistan like how iran, syria and iraq can’t resist Turkey’s economic clout.

Yeah you aren’t very current on anything are ya. Far from Peachy? Quick question have you lived anywhere other than the West? No regular summer vacations in Pakistan do not count.

I do have a question for you all who think the military is god when it comes to Pakistan. Why do you believe all this nonsense that our military is infallible? From what I have gathered our military officers couldn’t conduct a simple strategy on economic policy for 1 year let alone 10. The first thing to realize is that our military is far more propaganda than actual ability. FATA is an excellent example. A bunch of tribals are kicking our military’s ass. And more importantly the military is not omnipotent. Rather it is very very limited. The notion that the ISI or the Military is the bogeyman behind all the conspiracies in Pakistan is frankly retarded and has no merit.
