Kaushal,
This whole "War on Terrorism" is a big scam, as far as I am concerned.
Saudi Arabia and Pakistan are the Sepitc Tanks from where Terrorist Mosquitoes breed, and yet they are ignored.
Whethere it is the GOP, Democrats or even Independent Third Parties, no one views the above two countries with any required degree of harshness.
One can forgive the negligence with regard to KSA, as the OIL prices have a disproportionate impact on the US (and World) economy, but what is the excuse for ignoring Pakistan? The US congress has passed the MNNA status to Pak without any hiccups. I mean $100k were wired to Mohd. Atta's a/c from a Paki (well known and documented fact) and they are in fact, rewarded for this? What does that say for US credibility?
Bin Laden is alive and kicking, everyone knows he has been in Pakistan for 4+ years (nay, "in the reigon b/w Pakistan and Afghanistan"), yet no body has the testicular fortitude in the US to do anything about it.
<b>Because they do not want to, that is the only logical conclusion.</b>
War on Terror is nothing but a tool to get States Hostile to the US to mend their ways (Libya) or face death (North Korea, Iran and Syria).
The need for a multi-polar world, now, more than ever is felt acutely. Absolute Power has corrupted the powers that be in the US absolutely.
