Acting in Pakistan

In a nation like Pakistan, the government will have to be persuaded to deal with those in their midst who are complicit. This can happen if those nations’ citizens decide they don’t want their own country to be dishonored by allegiances with terror groups. Otherwise, other nations may have to act [source].

Mr. Kristol, replace Pakistan with Iraq and I would like to know if you have similar opinions. And at what point would it be alright for other nations to act? You did not support Barack Obama when he said something similar on the lines of, if Pakistan does not act on the jihadis within their borders, we will. In fact, you continued to back McCain who uttered inanities about infringing Pakistan’s sovereignty; ironic given the U.S. was/is in a war with another nation doing exactly that.

It is funny to see Kristol sprout intelligence on the Mumbai terror attacks even though it is apparent he does so to further his neocon agenda. So Mr. Kristol, please do not offer your opinions about something you’ve no clue about. In case you are looking for topics to write about, your darling Sarah Palin was campaigning in Georgia and no one seems to care.

    Iraq and Pakistan are not in the same category. Frankly, it doesn’t matter. Anyone who is willing to kick Pakistan’s ass to get them act properly is doing the right thing. Obama’s contrasting view towards Pakistan compared to current administration won him my vote.

    Not sure what is your point here…and why is Iraq relevant in this discussion?

    And Kristol may not know much but he certainly knows more than the usual Washington ”Liberal” crowd typified by likes of Nassubaum.

    and McCain was right from the American perspective. And you will see, Obama will not do any different. Invading Pakistan makes little sense for Americans; it makes absolutely no sense to do it for India–Obama, McCain, Bush, Kennedy, Clinton whoever might be in power.
