Pakistan is a problem because once again there is a ruler who couldn't be liked but has nuclear arms; and just happens to be the closest thing to a buffer zone on one side of Afghanistan available.

Or even one stage further, if Afghanistan wasn't available as boogieman/axis-of-evil/whatever would Pakistan be filling the role instead. Certainly it's as good a candidate as any chosen by Bush&Co. As a society in turmoil with plenty of Jihadists, Pakistan should be top of the hit-list if there was any logic for how you got chosen.

Unfortunately, being democratic and independent minded seem to be the most important criteria for being chosen for special attention. While being corrupt, undemocratic and militaristic seem to be high on the list for been chosen for special relationship. Birds of a feather comes to mind.

I think for World Peace, the USA will have to take out Pakistan. We also will have to launch some air strikes against southern Turkey and certainly Iran.

North Korea and Syria also gotta go down and some sort of 'Monroe Doctrine," that Africa is all for America needs to be declared.

It's obvious if we let these 'rogue nations,' and 'terrorists states,' also have weapons then this is going to be more difficult: first you disarm a people, destroy their industries then kill them or turn them into slaves or vassel states.

Think of it as a game, like Halo 3, Call of Duty 4, Age of Empires or even chess, Risk, Monopoly: 'cause that is more the 'motif,' of nations. (and most people, I suppose).

We need to elect better leaders, certainly. And kick out the bad ones, whenever and whereever we can.
