tabs, Pakistan is a nation with nuclear weapons, and a population with ties to the tribes that embraced the rule of the Taliban and the presence of Bin Laden. It also has a political and military leader with a tenuous grip on power.
Could it be that the 1000lb gorilla was not so feared prior to 911, that our big stick was not seen as an enduring threat, that if the gorilla was hit back it would run away? Is it possible that the sharp words for N. Korea and Iran were aimed at less potent threats, but that they sent a more serious message to a more substantial and immediate threat?
Possibly the words and actions of GW were to show a terrible, determined and enduring effort would be put forth by this nation to keep weapons of mass destruction from falling under the influence of readical Islam. Because Pakistan's nuclear arsenal in the hands of Al Queda would certainly threaten Globalization.
