Been reading a Pakistan military forum and they are delighted with the verdict. Except it doesn't go far enough. One poster wants all the mullahs shot on sight. The attitude is that "casino-addicted" Arabs and Mullahs got themselves into this mess, Pakistan should not have to pay the price. Because of India, they still don't have a favorable view of the USA but they don't like the Omars of the world either.

Omar needs the same justice that he gave to Daniel Pearl, as swift blow to the neck that will make his head roll.

"Because of India, they still don't have a favorable view of the USA "

They blame India and the US for everything. The friendship was very strong in the Jihad to drive out the Soviets from Afghanistan.

After the Soviets withdrew, the US handed responsibility for Afghanistan to the Pakistanis, who had been conducting the war and choosing which jihadi groups to finance, like the fanatical Hekmatyr(who we just tried to kill) and ignoring true Afghani patriots like Ahamd Shah Massoud.

So the pakistanis come up with a lapdog regime called the Talibuns. Is that the US's fault? NO.

The US gets trashed either way; if it stayed after the Soviets withdrew and tried to put its stamp on Afghanistan, they would have been accused of nation building, empire building and imperialism, colonialism of every hue and stripe.

That the US left the area is now shown as proof of the US's callout neglect.

Damned if you do and damned if you don't.

And the Pakistanis, that could have seized the opportunity to show the world that they are a modern people that could compete with India economically, choose to jihadize their own society and ramp up a proxy war against India in Kashmir.

Now they whine. They really have learnt some nasty habits from the Saudis.

Could you elaborate on that statement? Considering India is only recently a USA ally.

You base all that on a website's posters' comments? What about all reports on Pakistan and Pakistanis almost on a daily basis? Believe me, we can do a lot better than Pakistan for friends! And so can Israel.
