There is no question that Pakistan and Saudi Arabia are hothouses for terrorism -- the problem with your posts is that you think the answer to our problems can be addressed by finding somebody to bomb. There are a dozen major things we need to do -- so lets just start with one of them: Our problems run very deep indeed and there is no factor that looms larger than our dependence on Saudi Arabia for oil. Our dependence requires that we station troops there. That is bad for us and for them. It allows hundreds of billions of dollars to go to terrible, corrupt and repressive regimes who use the money to repress their people and both directly and indirectly to finance Islamist hate groups. You want to know who pays for the training of for these so called "Islamo fascists"? -- it is you and me every time we put gas in your tank. The US has itself to blame for a large portion of the terrorist problem because we have never ever owned up to the horrors of our energy policies.
