After India gets done nuking them into oblivion, our problems will be solved.
Give that man a cigar! I don't think I've ever agreed with a crazy potts idea as much as with this one. Pakistan has been playing us for DECADES. The only real answer to the question is to turn the place into a parking lot - all the better if we can get someone else to do it for us.
On a related note, Ghost Wars by Steve Coll is as illuminating on the subject of Pakistan as a money hole as it is on CIA involvement in Afghanistan (what the book is mainly billed as). A great read.
