I’d be a little nervous myself after this President said we should take the war from Iraq and bring it to Pakistan.

Didn’t Pak just recently throw in with the Chinese as their new weapons supplier? That ought to tell the world everything they need to know about Pak’s intentions. And yet here’s an article that frames the Pak problem entirely in terms of being caught between wanting to help the US and dealing with their own internal extremist problem. I’m no State Dept. strategist, but it would seem to me that Pak has no interest in truly helping the US; they merely want to stall the US long enough to secure alternate means of support, at which point they will kick the US to the curb.

Of import in that weapons supply issue is a renewed threat to India. India is still trying to finalize their claim to the Jammu and Kashmir regions, against pressure from Pak and China. If Pak becomes a satellite state of China, that border war may heat up quickly.

Maybe it would help if Obama didn’t pronounce the country like it was Pokemon.

IMHO, I think nations like pakistan are erring in leaning towards Chinese superpower dominance. I think a) if it were to happen, it would be a far worse outcome for them than they the presently think, b) it is not a foregone conclusion at this point and c) if there is a U.S. economic resurgence it will likely be dramatic and most most other nations would have difficult challenges in reacting to that resurgence. I would think it far more prudent for other nations to hedge their bets very carefully at this point, as American politics and free enterprise are uniquely endowed with a propensity for and accomodation of rapid economic and political change.
