Pakistan: No good options

clipped from www.americanthinker.com I would only add this: 79% of Pakistanis want “Strict application of Sharia law in every Islamic country” 74% of Pakistanis agree with the goal of “unifying all Islamic countries into a single Caliphate.” (see what that actually means,

From article:
Yes, Mrs. Bhutto is very popular, showing her drawing more support (63 percent) than both Osama bin Laden (he gets a disturbingly large 46 percent) and Gen. Musharraf (38 percent). But Shariah, or Islamic law, is popular, too. As Jeffrey Imm points out at The Counterterrorism Blog, the same poll and another from World Public Opinion indicate that between 60 and 76 percent of Pakistanis seek more Shariah throughout Pakistan. This is anything but “moderate.” In fact, this popular desire for Shariah dovetails nicely with Taliban plans to turn Pakistan into an all-Shariah state.when asked by World Public Opinion to rank government priorities, Pakistanis listed defeating “al Qaeda, the Taliban and other Jihadi groups” dead last – the will of the Pakistani people looks unlikely to amount to an asset, for example, to American troops fighting in the region. And aren’t troops in harm’s way to protect our national security our real moral imperative?

Meet Robert Pastor

clipped from www.freerepublic.com As we are taught in grade school, George Washington is the Father of our nation. If the North American Union comes into existence as the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) asserts, then we all better get prepared for a new hero. Robert Pastor is the person most likely to be proclaimed the father of the North American Union, a designation consistent with his decades-long history of viewing U.S. national interests through the lens of an extreme leftist almost anti-American political philosophy. he participated on the Ad Hoc Working Group on Latin America, which produced a 1977 report, “The Southern Connection: Recommendations for a New Approach to Inter-American Relations,” arguing for the U.S. to abandon our anti-communist allies in Latin America in favor of supporting “ideological pluralism,” a code word for the revolutionary socialist forces taking hold in Latin America, including the communist Sandanistas and other revolutionary terrorist groups

From Article:

“From February 1975 to January 1977, Dr. Pastor was executive director of the Linowitz Commission on U.S./Latin American Relations. The Linowitz Commission supported President Carter’s decision to negotiate a treaty to turn over the Panama Canal to Panama.

Dr. Pastor has also co-authored a 1989 book with his long-time friend, Jorge G. Casta�eda, who began his career as a member of the Mexican Communist Party. Casta�eda, a life-long admirer of the radical left, published in 1998 an admiring biography of the revolutionary Che Guevara. Casta�eda, like Pastor, has sought to work in government positions to implement his theories.

Robert Pastor argued in an article in CFR’s Foreign Affairs, “that the United States would benefit by giving up U.S. national Sovereignty.” Countries are benefited “when they changed these [national sovereignty] policies, and evidence suggests that North Americans are ready for a new relationship that renders this old definition of sovereignty obsolete.”
