Leonard Muniz of Broomfield writes:

IRAQ, IRAN AND SYRIA ARE NOT THE REAL PROBLEM According to Newsweek, Time, CNN and other news outlets, today no other country on earth is arguably more dangerous than Pakistan. It has everything Osama bin Laden could ask for: political instability, a trusted network of radical Islamists, an abundance of angry young anti-Western recruits, secluded training areas, access to state-of-the art electronic technology, regular air service to the West and security services that don’t always do what they’re supposed to do. In addition there also aren’t thousands of American troops hunting down would-be terrorists. Then, Pakistan has a nuclear program. “If you were to look around the world for where Al Qaeda is going to find its bomb, its right in their own backyard,” says Bruce Riedel, the former senior director for South Asia on the National Security Council. Nothing has infuriated the Islamic community more than the US invasion of Iraq, except for the US supplying Israel with bombs, tanks, planes, guns, rockets and plenty of money. And I don’t believe that the exacerbation specialist Bush is the right man for this job.
