    I donno whether we were right or not, that's a really tough call. I also assume (perhaps with a degree of naivity) that this wasn't an intentional sort of assault on Pakistan, which is a nuclear power. All that aside, if there's a country we have to fear in the short term, it's probably Pakistan.

    There are very few things in this world that I care about less than Pakistan.

    Meh, they could blow up India probably. And we like India here in the US. And we don't have a good track record of taking things like that in stride...
