JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: BUSH REPORTED TO HAVE APPROVED ATTACKS BY AMERICAN GROUND TROOPS IN PAKISTAN

POSTED RESPONSE TO A COLUMN IN THE NEW YORK TIMES

This is shameful and idiotic.

America just regards the borders and laws of others as meaningless.

You have manipulated political affairs in Pakistan to get rid of Musharraf who stood in the way of this kind of thing.

Now you have a compliant leader, the third member of the Bhutto clan to rule (some democracy).

Has anyone ever just stopped and asked what you are even doing in Afghanistan, other than vengeance?

You cannot possibly re-make the customs and traditions of a country of 25 million and stuck in the 14th century. It’s a mindless idea.

So now in the midst of your delusional quest – Don Quixote with cluster bombs – you are well on your way to creating another Cambodia by de-stabilizing Pakistan.
