UK PM Brown in Afghanistan and Pakistan

BBC News: Reports on the visit of the UK PM Gordon Brown to Afghanistan and Pakistan. The PM linked the chain of terrorism from the badlands of the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan to the UK. The UK PM has annoyed the President of Pakistan, with his comments that that Pakistan was the start of the chain of terrorism all the way to the UK. The comments it can be argued did not really help on the Diplomatic front, Brown should leave the critical comments to the USA. The PM should have stressed more the culture links, also the ideal of Democracy that both the UK and Pakistan share. Then stressed that both the UK and Pakistan are fighting a common enemy. This is why we leave diplomacy to the Foreign Office.
