The New York Times: Reports that Terrorists from Afghanistan attacked villages in Pakistan. The badlands of the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan is an ideal hiding place for the terrorists, they can strike without warning and then go back over the border. The tension between India and Pakistan has not helped, Pakistan has moved its troops from the border with Afghanistan to the border with India. This move has allowed the terrorists great access, also as noted in the article we are also dealing with internal problem in Pakistan. One tribal group fighting another tribal group, wars that have gone on for years. If the government of Pakistan was to fall and the terrorists got their hands on the bomb the the Western World would be under threat. The border between Pakistan and Afghanistan should be a top issue for the new Obama Administration.
