Re: The Problem IS Pakistan
Pakistan has India to worry about.
So long as the US doesn't take one side or the other in that conflict, Pakistan is really hard pressed to blackmail Washington.
Is the Pakistan situation simple? Of course not.
Will we stumble along the way in out relationship with Pakistan? Of course. But we will move forward.
In the meantime, give the new government in Afganistan time to grow and consolidate its power.
Pakistan will do some thing to try to undermine that effort, and others to support it. But the efforts in Afganistan will mover forward.
