<<<"It's amazing the U.S. does not appreciate the sentiments it arouses rightly or wrongly and how little it understands the region," said Lt. Gen. Talat Masood, retired General and Musharraf critic.>>>

What is even more amazing is that the retired General seems to think his people can harbor several hundred Al Queda and not suffer the same fate as the far more powerful Taliban.

It appears words are not enough- these people are all of the opinion that 'it cant happen here, we are different'.

It is discouraging to think that repeated applications of a big stick , such as applied to Afghanistan and Iraq, may be required to make words sink in.
