political : SHOULD THE U.S. DO TO PAKISTAN WHAT ISRAEL HAS DONE TO LEBANON? [+] serious ballot by cranky ACTIVE Mon Aug 21, 06 - Sat May 16, 09 "Pakistan will need to carry out a U-turn in its policy of support for the Taliban if it is to regain the West's confidence and end its present diplomatic isolation. The stark policy choices the military faces may also require a complete turnaround from twenty years of clandestine support to jihadi parties and the growth of a jihadi culture, which has sustained its policies in Kashmir and Central Asia. After having spent the past seven years providing every conceivable form of military, political and financial support to the Taliban, Pakistan is now essentially being asked by Washington to help the US bomb the Taliban leadership, along with their guest Osama bin Laden, and topple the Taliban regime." (The Nation) * * * * * * * * The situation in Lebanon and the one in Pakistan are remarkably similar. In Pakistan, like Lebanon, an Islamic terrorist group and government within a government (the Taliban) is attacking its neighbor (Afghanistan) and wanting to destroy its government. Except with Pakistan, it's even worse, because Taliban fighters are pouring over the border as an actual guerilla invasion force. Also, the U.S. has long been pressuring the Pakistani government for years to disarm the Taliban, as Israel did with Lebanon, to no avail. Doesn't the U.S. have the same right to defend itself, i.e. destroy the terrorists who want to destroy the U.S. and its ally, Afghanistan, as the Israelis claim they had in dealing with Lebanon? If so, then should the U.S. do as Israel did and start missile attacks and an invasion of Pakistan? Yes, the U.S. should start attacking Pakistan No, the U.S. should continue to negotiate with Pakistan Ballot #100833 : SEE RESULTS Comment: show your vote with comment?
