Pakistan and America

The most disturbing thing about the US involvement in Pakistan is the failure to clamp down on al Qaeda within Pakistani borders. I understand that good relations with Musharraf have been important for US supply lines in Afghanistan, but we seem to have lost sight of who attacked us on September 11 - al Qaeda. It was not illegal immigrants, not muslims, not weak liberals, not anyone but al Qaeda. I think the US (led by the 'Bushies') is attacking them with all available means, but those means simply are not strong enough to get the job done. THAT is highly disturbing to this American.
