Hi IQBAL LATIF; Re: "... for you Saddam was great democrat or Arafat another one whereas Blair is fascist ..."
Do you have a link supporting this statement? Or are you just randomly generating ad hominem attacks because of the bankruptcy of your logic?
By the way, I ran into the guy who was talking about pacifying Iraq. I asked him how he would respond to what you brought up. Here's a reminder of the conversation so far:
Bilow, April 6, 2004
I was talking to a guy here in the United States. He says that Pakistan helped put the Taliban into power in Afghanistan and still can't keep their own cities under power. He says its dangerous for a country like that to control nuclear weapons. He says that instead of waiting for Pakistan to get their act together we ought to just go in there and fix the place up for them like we're fixing up Iraq. He says that making a deal with an unelected military officer like Musharraf is like trying to deal with Stalin or Hitler.

IQBAL LATIF, in reply
...
Now, I do see Pakistan as the most important ally of US in Islamic world not otherwise and that is what I have been saying all along, and please look at the new status that USA has accorded Pakistanis that of trusted ally outside Nato.
...
... but lets keep our focus clear, is Pakistan an Iraq, to be an Iraq we need conditions under which freedom of condemnation against dictator does not exist.

I abbreviated your reply to him as [in my own words]: "I read that Pakistan has been our ally for years, and that they've got freedom of the press so they're not much like Iraq."
He says that it's not true that Pakistan is an ally of the US. He says he knows because he spent 2 years in Vietnam and he never even met a Pakistani, not that he can tell the difference that easily between them and an Indian or whatever, but he didn't see any of that type there. He said the problem with Pakistan is that they are religious nut cases with nukes, and that it has nothing to do with freedom of the press. He says that the problem with the Moslem news like Al Jazeera is not that it is not free, but instead that it is mostly lies. He says that these lies influence the youth in Moslem countries to be fanatical terrorists and that since the Moslems are "breeding like bunnies" the problem with their making new terrorists keeps getting worse. He says that the solution is to go in there and make it illegal to write things that make the people hate Americans. He says that this is where we got into trouble in Iraq, that we didn't close that newspaper right away. He says that we need to get "off our butts" and put Pakistan back into its place right away because they've got those nukes and are an imminent danger. He says that if the people in Moslem countries really knew what America is about, they'd all like us.
