Soviets went in to support the Aghan communists, Americans to avenage Vietnam, Afgan-Arabs for Islam and now the Americans to stop the hauling hordes of Imams, Ayatollahs and Mahdis.

That's politics.

The Paks were within a hair's breath of being declared a terrorist state; the CIA pleaded against it claiming that their only channel to Afghanistan under the Taliban would be shut if that were to happen.
Is it any surprise that the Paks are double-dealing, blaming everyone but themselves for their failed state?
