There is no way Pakistan could have stopped it if they had tried.
true, or maybe they did not want to. stratfor is pretty sure we had to have their cooperation at some level. you have to know the mindset of us asians, we bluster and protest at the front door but open the back door to let you in.That is how we survive. In america, it's called being two faced. most asians it's pragmatic. there are elements in pakistan that hate us, but there are elements that are more prowest than most americans realize. We need to support the ones that support us.
don't underestimate small asian countries, or the US will repeat its mistake in indochina. It was the same attitude that defeated hitler when he marched into totally destitute and backward russia. The difference, once again, is indochina had no nuclear warheads.....
