		<description>A top guy/ruler in any nation cannot blame his subordinates/juniors for the government&#039;s acts of omission or commission. It is like a man blaming his hand for slapping his wife!!! The buck stops at the top. And there is no confusion about it, nor can we fudge this issue. 

There is no excuse or mercy. Democracies have a weapon called impeachment, while the dictators generally have to face a coup or the sword. It is only a matter of time...The wheel of time moves on...There is an old saying: &#039;Those who live by the sword die by the sword&#039;...There is also a thing called divine justice!</description>

		<description>One &lt;em&gt;canâ€™t help but read the annual â€˜threatâ€™ assessment from the intelligence community and come to the conclusion that for all of the American honor involved in â€œvictoryâ€? in Iraq, the real danger of terrorism, and the country with the greatest potential for a world-shattering implosion, is not Iraq or Afghanistan or even Iran: it is Pakistan.â€? &lt;/em&gt;

This is what I&#039;ve believed all along. Iran is probably the biggest threat to Israel, because a nuclear Iran would arm Hezbollah and Hamas with dirty bombs, Iraq was a shell of its former self by 2003 and Saddam was more bark than bite. Afghanistan&#039;s problems are mostly related to the fact that its number one crop is poppies and outside of Kabul it is run by warlords, but Pakistan has the bomb, most of the Taliban, OSB, al queda, and very rough, mountainous terrain.Add to the picture the fact that Musharaf could easily be the victim of a coup or an assasination,and the security forces are in league with the extremists, and you get the reason that we don&#039;t press them very hard.</description>

		<description>I read some weeks ago that Mushraff does not control the inelligence agencies, and I found that very scary.  If he doesn&#039;t know what they&#039;re up to, nobody does.  If he falls, ,,, I don&#039;t want to think about that.</description>
