What's to worry? Pakistan is a GWB American ally!

Hope Pakistan and India,will use rocket science tech,to develop their own jet turbine engines,which is a offshoot of rocket science technology .

That will be great new jobs creator,for both nations.

What is to worry is that the U.S. occupation of Afghanistan has pushed the Taliban into Pakistan where it has controlled Pakistani territory for years. Pakistan used to be a supporter of the Taliban until the U.S. pressured the country to stop. That was just ten years ago. The people of Pakistan do not love the U.S. as the U.S. has been propping up dictators in the country. The economy is fragile and now suicide bombers are common.

I should say there is a lot to worry about.

Pakistan has been swapping technology with North Korea, which peddles it to Iran. The whole country has been teetering on the brink for decades, and will eventually tumble into psychedelic anarchy, after which world history will probably take on some scenario out of a Tom Clancy novel.

I wonder how India feels about this. The main arms race will be between those two at the moment.

I don't even know what statements like that mean anymore. I suspect you're in the same boat.

Denial is indeed a strong defense for some. Is Pakistan an ally in the 'war on terror' or not? Pretty easy question. But just in case you missed the sarcasm, it was a stab at the former US government and their desperation to accept any and all 'allies' for the wars in Afghanistan and more desperately Iraq. Pakistan should never have been accepted as an ally, especially since US drones bomb civilians in the area constantly and Pakistan gives refuge, supposedly, to the Taliban.

I'm still not getting it. Just what is your point? The US should cut off relations with Pakistan? What do you mean when you say, "Pakistan should never have been accepted as an ally." Should they be viewed as an enemy? Ignored? Is Pakistan an ally of your country? And what does "the former government" have to do with anything when it's position was mostly the same as the current government? And how does Iraq figure into all of this? US drones are constantly bombing civilians? Is that a rap on Obama who has increased drone strikes?

Are you just saying stuff that sounds good for mental masturbation but lacks any kind of real substance?
