Where Does the War on Terror Go From Here ? Part II

Post Script:  Christiane Amanpour put out a piece indicating that what I believe cannot work until Pakistan is no longer supporting the Taliban and other Terrorist groups.  Furthermore she suggested that we might have to invade Pakistan to do so.  Well, we have shown limited ability to facilitate nation building to date and I do not believe that we should proceed down that path as Pakistan is limited in its ability to govern itself already.  It would be prohibitively expensive for the U.S. in both $$$, troops and fostering more Muslims to take us on in the form of Jihad.  Not to mention that Pakistan has nuclear weapons that it could use on us.  I am shocked that Ms. Amanpour could suggest something like this without putting some caveat in there.
