June 30, 2007 - The Pakistani president, Gen. Pervez Musharraf, was warned this month that Islamic militants and Taliban fighters are rapidly spreading beyond the country's lawless tribal lands and that without "swift and decisive action," the growing militancy could engulf the rest of the country.
As everyone knows, or should know, Pakistan is the only Islamic country with known nuclear capabilities and that it borders Afghanistan, home of the Taliban and the bin Laden branch of al Qaeda. When will the Republican party, and their supporters, admit that abandoning Afghanistan for Iraq was an error of what could be disastrous proportions, and that if our military belongs anywhere in the middle east they belong not in Iraq but in Afghanistan, helping to protect the Pakistani border against Taliban style militants and ideology?
