Leave Pakistan alone. It is just like 99% of the world, full of peace loving citizens who would like nothing better than to worry about daughter’s on dates, shopping congestion in malls, and what’s playing at the movies on Saturday night. America needs to withdraw militarily from the planet, period. Any other theory is lost in its own artifice of sophistry. America’s founders, as intellectual as Adams or as capitalistic as Washington, were men nonetheless united in their personal inner turmoils with power and its cautious administration, lest it overstep its boundaries and provoke reaction. Pure principles of international non-interference, independence, and disentanglement guided the founding conscience of America. Washington’s first major martial victory in 1776 was completely bloodless, as the British withdrew their forces after 9 years of occupying Boston. America rose in might from the 1700′ to the 1900′s exactly because it did not get involved in wars as the aggressor, which otherwise bankrupted nations like England and others over the centuries, in their expansive attempts to “control” the international political and commercial landscape by means of empires. If America resumed her anti-bellicose philosophical international leadership, the 99% of people on this planet would not support any local war machine of their own in power, and get on with their day to day lives as peace loving citizens in the pursuit of their own happiness. Believing that is not necessary. It is a calculable reality and truth that in every mathematical physical or sociological philosophical scenario: for avery action there is a reaction. Just because a stronger person can throw an apple harder away from the earth than a weaker one, and in the apple’s longer absence until the force of gravity returns it, does not mean that the mightier thrower has conquered the rules of the universe. So it goes with America’s, and once Britain’s, and the Austro-Hungarian’s, and the Roman, and other empires, for every military action there is, not in a day, not in a year, or maybe even for 100 years, but eventually, a reaction equal to the initial military action. In today’s nuclear terms, we can only pray Americans take the lead on this for the sake of the planet, which other nations will emulate, and once again become the peace-loving economical envy of the world, with ever lengthening line-ups of immigrants at here door to prove it. To emulate America as she is now is to invite military disregard for our boundaries, to invite our occupation, and to invite war with us.
