And don't forget that, together with Saudi Arabia, it is the main enemy.
Yes. Big problem.
Pakistan would never dare to attack us directly but they would be glad to have somebody else do it. The Saudis, IMO, are a mixed bag: some of them just want to have their gold bathroom fixtures and hang out with supermodels on the Costa del Sol, while others are total loonies. The only reason we cultivate the gold bathroom fixture Saudis is that they keep their loonies sort of in check (that’s why Bin Laden was operating offshore).
