The Times: Reports that the UK Foreign Secretary David Miliband has stressed the need for the political elites in Pakistan to come together to fight the common threat of terrorists. The more the political elites in Pakistan fight each other, the more the terrorists will be able to use this mess to take over Pakistan. If the terrorists take over Pakistan, the the Western War in Afghanistan gets worse, now we face the safe heavens that terrorists have in the badlands of the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan, what happens if the terrorists take over Pakistan with their nuclear weapons. A nuclear armed Pakistan in the hands of the terrorists could make the Vietnam War look like a bright idea. The Obama Administration has to move in to these badlands, clean them out, rebuild the structure of Pakistan, then and only then does the West have a chance in Afghanistan.
