The Big Nightmare: Pakistan

Actually, having read that last post, I'm beginning to think that a missile defense system against Pakistani nuclear missiles falling into Islamist hands might not be such a bad idea.

Forget Iran. As many have been saying for years now, it's Pakistan that is the big nightmare for the West and the world. (One wonders if Israel really understands this?) And we helped bring it about by staying in Afghanistan and pushing the Taliban into Pakistan. Yes, we did.

They call it 'blowback,' at least in CIA terms. And we haven't learned our lesson yet, with our ratcheting up of our military involvement in the Af-Pak region. I don't know what the answer is, but I'm not sure that's it.
