Clinton scolds Pakistan over inaction on al-Qaida

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton chided Pakistani officials Thursday for failing to press the hunt for al-Qaida inside their borders, suggesting they know where the terror leaders are hiding.

"I find it hard to believe that nobody in your government knows where they are and couldn't get them if they really wanted to," Clinton said.

IMO: Exactly.

It would be unthinkable, Clinton said, for the U.S. government to decide, "Let the Taliban have Washington (state)" first, then Montana, then the sparsely populated Dakotas, because those states are far from the major centers of population and power on the East Coast".

IMO: Of course, and most modern nations would hopefully think the same. Basically the great difference between Pakistan and USA emerges. Hard to say what the ultimate consequences will be. 'Go America Go' does not seem to suit. Pakistan in its brief history seems to have become a disgrace. There are clearly many ways to remedy this, but will any be applied in time. Some would blame Saudi and US imperialism but that is an oversimplification. To say 'Go America Go' is like a juvenile delinquent knifing Santa Claus.
