I suggest to all that if you believe in God, begin praying now (even if you
don't, at a time like this, how could it hurt?)
The US appears poised to form, (of necessity, I argue), yet another unsavory
alliance, at least in the eyes of some. Pakistan, a nuclear power, has
suggested that it will get behind the US if it wishes to launch an attack
against Bin Laden forces in Afghanistan, or the Taliban government itself.
Pakistan is a country that is 1/2 of the world's most potentially dangerous
hotspot, a sworn enemy of gigantic nuclear military power India.
If you'll recall when the terrorist act first happened, India was quick to
jump on board and condemn Pakistan as a state with ties to the Taliban and
Afghanistan. The US has sanctions against Pakistan.
What to do now? Do we accept Pakistan as an ally, and risk alienating India?
These are extremely tortorous straits ahead. It does little good to call our
leader "Baby" at this time, as it seems that both Solomonic wisdom and
Divine intervention are required. I, for one, will stand up and say I'm glad
I voted for Bush, now more than ever, but I'd sure as hell be behind 100%
Gore as well.
Nice job, human nature. You've managed to get the world 1 year into the new
millenium before bringing it to the brink of world nuclear war.
