Picture of the Day
A map produced by the BBC suggests only 38% of Pakistan's North West Frontier Province (NWFP) and surrounding areas is under full government control.....
(BBC) "Hundreds of thousands of people are fleeing fighting in Pakistan's north-west as the army continues its operation to eliminate Taleban militants....."
Two thoughts: 1) It doesn't matter who the general in Afghanistan is if this gaping sore to the east keeps leaking instability.
2) Pakistan ain't Grenada. Unlike most US interventions/CIA influence operations, Pakistan is a HUGE country of 170 million.

Perhaps a Papal visit would help? The Pashtun will see the error of their ways, start growing Monsanto crops and enjoy shopping at Walmart.

You make a good point. You know a place is a shithole when the tribal regions have 25 million people and no Walmart.
