The other Islamic Republic

When a large group of eminent U.S. foreign policy experts was asked this summer to name the country most likely to transfer nuclear technology to terrorists in the next three to five years, Pakistan was the top choice.

Connect the dots.  US used to support Taliban & Co, when the Soviets were a threat in Afghanistan.  The US helped them to be this new force in Waziristan.  Musharraf's (or should I call him Mozakhraf) military pretends to fight them.  AQ Khan and the Seyyeds get the nuke plans from the Chinese.  Their narc friends get all that snuff from Afghanistan.  Smells very familiar to the trade going on, as in the film Apocalypse Now.  So everyone is in the oldest trade.  Meanwhile the Israelis want to hit Natanz, when it should be Khost.  And can the AQ Khan's nukes hit Israel?  Sure can.  So why hit Iran, when all the trouble is in the other Islamic Republic, namely the Islamic Republic of Pakistan?  Now you see why the US wants to give them all more aid.
