Re: "So you want to invade a country that never attacked us ???"

I've already answered this SEVERAL TIMES already shorty....

But, for the short-of-remembering out there:

A) They effectively have attacked us already (on 9-11). Not only did the head general of the ISI wire $100,000 DIRECTLY to Mohammed Atta the very week of the 9-11 attacks... but Pakistan created and has defended and supported the Taliban. (And shelters Taliban and al Qaeda today.) They support them still today as they sally back across the unmarked border to attack and kill, our guys in Afghanistan. (And, as far as nuclear proliferation goes, in recent years it has practically ALL been Pakistan. North Korea wouldn't even have HAD an enrichment program were it not for Pakistan selling the plans to them.)

B) I'm with the Bush Doctrine on this one --- any nation-state that supports or succors terrorists, can be held RESPONSIBLE for those actions.

and, as I've already told you several times,

C) It is MY OPINION that *any nation* which does not effectively control parts of their territory (as Pakistan is always telling everyone who will listen that they 'have no control over', no 'government in place', 'no effective military presence' in the so-called 'TRIBAL REGIONS' of Pakistan) has *abandoned* any claim to sovereignty over said areas --- and therefore has not a leg to stand on if some other power is forced to act there.

So... either Pakistan moves it's own military in and asserts control over (what it claims as it's 'own territory'), or others are justified to act.
