Pakistan continues to exist for the same reason North Korea continues to exist. No upwardly mobile 21st-Century Westphalian nation-state wants to assume responsibility for millions of primitive, dysfunctional, unemployable and unassimilatable neighbors. India will tolerate an enormous amount of crap from Pakistan to avoid that.

The Paks got nukes on Hillary’s husband’s watch. Those nukes aren’t that big a deal as part of Pakistan’s war machine. They’re a disaster waiting to happen if allowed to slip in to the hands of al Qaeda, Iran, Hezbollah or Venezuela. There is no real way to take those nukes away from the Paks. Neither can the Paks be trusted with them. And if we retaliate against them after an attack on us we irradiate India.

What does America have the will to do about Pakistan? There are many things that we cannot afford to let happen that we will let happen because half of us don’t trust the other half.
