Prometheus 6

I am now officially concerned about Pakistan.

If diplomatic responses mean anything at all, imagine Russia's reaction if the United States starts chasing militants in Pakistan independent of the Pakistani government.

It turns out the Bush administration's mishandling of Afghanistan and Pakistan could have greater repercussions than their mishandling of Iraq. In fact, abandoning those nations mid-war in favor of adventures in Iraq set the conditions for their current crisis.

There might be proof of intelligent design in this. It really seems to me that those who want to dominate the world inevitably turn out to be too stupid or impatient...same thing, really...to pull it off. Even a collective effort as coordinated as PNAC is composed of humans that can't wait to be the one that sets it in motion, or makes the decisive step. Above all, we want it to happen while we're able to enjoy our just reward. We may be designed that way, and it may be our final defense
