1. it may appear that there is no interest, but actually it is because we have no CONTROL

over what happens in Pakistan ...sorry there is enough on Americas plate for Americans so, to care too much about Pakistan is too remote for our abilities!

4. Did you actually watch the interview or is this a gut reaction to the title and description?

I only ask because your reply appears to be deliberately vague and it's not clear what you mean.

Welcome to DU, btw.

3. It won't matter...

If Pakistan falls Taliban and Al-Qaeda could get those nuclear weapons...Do you think we have a choice if that happens?
