Time: An excellent article on why all options on Afghanistan and Pakistan are bad for you new Obama Administration. The War in Afghanistan cant be won but it can be lost either, the return of the Taliban/Terrorists to control of Afghanistan would be a constant nightmare for the USA and the UK. The question is how to prevent a Western Defeat in Afghanistan, thus you return to Pakistan, Pakistan is a failing state if not a failed state. The Government of Pakistan is blaming India for the recent Terrorists attacks in country. There is constant tensions between Pakistan and India, they are both nuclear armed powers, they would rather blame each other than deal with their own internal problems. In Pakistan the the Intelligence Service is to blame for the growth of the Taliban/Terrorists, it funded one of the groups to attack India, now that group is terrorising Pakistan. The Government of Pakistan has moved troops from the badlands of the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan to the border with India. Thus the Taliban/Terrorists can have safe heavens to develop their terrorist plans. If Pakistan was to fall to the terrorists, all the Obama grand plans for a new Great Society Mark Two would go through the window. Thus what Obama does about Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran will define his Presidency. Read of the Day.
