A Country That Most People Can't Find On A Map In Turmoil IS Important


The assassination of Benazir Bhutto in Pakistan today has enormous ripple effects all over the world. Her death at a political rally two weeks prior to a democratic election in an Arab country that borders Afghanistan, Iran, and India has turned Pakistan into a country in near anarchy. If one does not know where Pakistan is on a map should learn quickly. Because a country that harbors terrorists and has more than seventy nuclear warheads has had their former two-time prime minister and probable winning candidate killed by "militants." As a result, there is rioting in the streets and the authorities are too afraid to do anything to stop the country from continuing to spiral out of control. The events in Pakistan over the last three months (escalating terror attacks and assassination attempts) culminating in today's inevitable tragic political assassination proves that Pakistan is (and has been all along) a terrorist state. A terrorist state that has nuclear weapons, terror schools, and has been under military rule for years. A terrorist state that has done nothing to truly stop terrorist organizations from plotting and engaging in their twist jihad against the Western world. Sure, Pakistan has given us lip service and numerous photo op between their current president Musharraf and our President "Asterisk" at the White House. However, the U.S. has given billions of dollars in "aid" to Pakistan to help win the war on terror. The result: a country with nuclear weapons bordering on anarchy, terrorist attacks on a regular basis, loss of innocent lives, and now a major political assassination that is comparable to RFK's assassination. An unstable country is worrisome. An unstable terrorist state that has nuclear weapons is more dangerous than 15 Iraqs put together. So as I log-in to AOL this evening and see Brittany Spear's sister on the first headline, I am praying that President "Asterisk" and his SF Zoo handlers know where Pakistan is on a map and understand the obvious true danger.
