I am surprised no one has put this up yet, so I will.
Pakistan is imploding. The Taliban runs large parts of the country and the Pakistani government has been reduced to cutting deals with the Taliban. It seems clear that the Taliban wants this to close down a possible two front war as we increase our presence in Afghanistan. On top of all of this, the possibility of the Taliban inheriting nuclear weapons is pretty close to being reality. If Pakistan falls, then they have done it.
Let's just say I hope to God President Obama has some plan in mind to prevent this. I was pleased to at least hear Secretary Clinton call out the Pakistani government directly, something that President Bush stayed away from, for various (good) reasons. Anyone have any ideas?
