Trouble < Double Trouble = Destitute Security Situation in Iraq = Bloodshed = Angry Generation of Iraqis Building Training Camps to Create Another 9/11. (Here we go, again.) <BR/><BR/>Hey, didn't we let the guy who caused 9/11 escape to the dictatorship of Pakistan? <BR/><BR/>Let's look at the bang up job U.S. policy did there.<BR/><BR/>Our big friend in the War on Terror there, Musharraf, is pissing off his own people because of a real clampdown on civil liberties, jailing dissenters, even restricting (through use of Pakistan's Army) political opponents from returning to the country. <BR/><BR/>The fact that the U.S. funding of Musharraf's clampdown may have a detrimental effect on America's security in the future. <BR/><BR/>Musharraf's administration is crumbling under the heat of public protest and an angry Judiciary.<BR/>http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20070914.wpakistan14/BNStory/International/home<BR/><BR/>Here's my favorite quote from the mentioned article: <BR/><BR/>"This may be a Muslim country but it is not a Middle Eastern Muslim country. It is a South Asian Muslim country and here the constitution and the judiciary matter," said Aitzaz Ahsan, a member of Pakistan's upper house of parliament and the lawyer who took the case to the Supreme Court that saw the Chief Justice reinstated in July.<BR/><BR/>What's my point?<BR/><BR/>U.S. meddling in Pakistan affairs has allowed resentment toward its own government and the U.S. more broadly. <BR/><BR/>Let's get back to the original equation. <BR/><BR/>Trouble < Double Trouble = Destitute Security Situation in Packistan = Bloodshed + Angry Mob = Angry Generation of Pakistanis Building Movement to overthrow government and make possible terrorist attacks in the U.S.<BR/><BR/>U.S. military cannot contain an ideology of resentment toward the those who meddle in Muslim country's affairs. <BR/><BR/>So U.S. presence in Iraq, in an effort to contain "radical" Islamic elements, seems all the more futile.<BR/><BR/>To say nothing of the idea that U.S. forces condition their withdrawal based on the Iraqi sectarian reconciliation. <BR/><BR/>Sectarian reconciliation doesn't seem to be aided by our presence there.<BR/><BR/>Gen Patraeus himself testified to congress that he "hadn't sorted out in my own mind" whether U.S. presence in Iraq was making us safer.<BR/><BR/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tf3MPSxupjE&NR=1B.

No terrorists or Al-Queda influence? That seems pie in the sky. A working democracy among all parties? That could take years. People forget the first American government (articles of confederation) was a disaster - and that wasn't being implemented by fiat.<BR/><BR/>I still agree with pre-presdient George W. Bush. America should not be involved in Nation Building. It just sucks. <BR/><BR/>Of course to answer our problems, I look to lyrics of punk music with The Clash:<BR/><BR/>Should I stay or should I go now? If I stay there will be trouble. If I go there will be double.<BR/><BR/>Trouble < Double Trouble, and thus we should stay. And that logic is, sadly, as good as any I've heard from politicians.IgnatzEsqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10365530302219565126noreply@blogger.com
