If Pakistan goes to hell, I don’t think that will hurt our cause in Afghanistan, (China wouldn’t object either).

If Iran (big Russian contracts on Nukes NG, pipelines and other armaments with the potential for huge reconstruction contracts), Georgia (again a tap for gas), and Pakistan go off at the same time, and NATO flinches, we’re not going to have to choose isolationism.
