PBS just aired an amazing Frontline (watch it) news feature on Pakistan. Based on the suicide bombings in the “settled” areas, and the strengthening of the Taliban, Pakistan is the next major hotbed of activity, dwarfing the skirmishes in Israel/Palestine. This is a scary thought, and my mind races to a potential major conflict with Pakistan. Obama, if he is elected, must be strong. Should he commit forces in a cross border raid? It is a sticky situation. Both candidates dwell on the issues but it is clear this will be a major issue for months, if not years, to come, given the inability of the Pakistan government to clamp down in its outer regions, and concerns about Aganistans ties with India.
