Diplomatic Snub from Pakistan President to UK PM Brown

The Times: Reports on the diplomatic snub to UK PM Gordon Brown by the President of Pakistan. The President cancelled a joint news conference with Mr Brown. Mr Brown should have been more diplomatic about the terrorism that the UK and Pakistan face from the badlands of the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan. The Government of President Zardari is weak, the appeasement of the Taliban/Terrorists in the Swat Valley and the move by the Taliban in other parts of Pakistan show that the hold on power by Islamabad is weak. The USA forced the the Army of Pakistan to take action against the Taliban, the fact that the Taliban got within sixty miles of Islamabad was a threat to Pakistan and Western Security. Thus Obama Administration might have to send troops in to the Swat Valley to remove the Taliban/Terrorists.
