Interesting comments. Particularly regarding Pakistan.
Not sure if it is commonly known or not, but the Pakis created the Taliban. Pakistani intelligence set up the Taliban as a means of exerting a measure of influence and control over Afghanistan once the Soviets left. And by the same token, we can't really base tens of thousands of troops in Afghanistan without the Pakis help. Weird, huh.
And the Pakis are our friends. Except when they are not. For example, when the Vietnam War was going on, the Pakis were our good buddies. But when the Pakis were at war with India in 1971, we didn't feel as close to them. But when the Soviets invaded Afghanistan, the Pakis were our buds again. But then after the Soviets left, we sort of forgot about them (a lot). Then, in the 1990's, the Pakis (with a little help from North Korea) decided to join the Nuclear Family. And we were like "WTF, dudes?!?!?". We didn't like that too much. But then after 9/11, we traced Osama bin Laden to Afghanistan. So the Pakis were our good buddies again! But then we found out that Osama was hanging out in Pakistan, and we were like"Dudes! That ain't cool!!!".
You know, it's almost like these Pakis are just thinking of themselves and their own interest!
