Why is the American Media trying so hard to take attention away from extremist part of his regime? Why is US being so forgiving
to Pakistan when every terrorist trail leads through Pakistan. Instead they want to get Iran, Iraq, and North Korea. Ever heard of
Occam's razor?


Parsimony. Shouldn't use more entities than necessary to explain something. "Simplest explanation is usually best." Etc.

On this principle answer to question, " Why is US being so forgiving
to Pakistan when every terrorist trail leads through Pakistan," It believes it has a handle on Pakistan's terrorism problem or, at least, Pakistan is solving it.

"Instead they want to get Iran, Iraq, and North Korea"
US regards Iran and Iraq as more immediate dangers.

Do you think this is realistic?
