#2 Unless he really protected Al Queda in the NorthWest Frontier Province there shouldn't be any debate. He was there when we needed him and stepped aside when that was needed as well.

Of course ex-dictators usually favor the South of France.

#3 He probably has some info on Khan we'd like to know also, lets make him a deal.

#4 Pakistan knew about, assisted and funded the Sept 11 attacks. Musharraf was in the thick of it and played his hand well for the maximum benefit of Pakistan. The only way he should come to the US is to be buried alive at 1 World Trade Center Plaza.

#5 Unfortunately, the US is out of the question, because of our profligate herds of savage, bestial, and carnivorous lawyers. For this reason, we might arrange a new home for Perv in one of the more reasonable nations of the world.

Mexico can be very beautiful, if you have money, as well as several of the South American nations.

The Republic of Chile, home to many Germans, both has a Common Law based legal system and does not belong to the International Court of Justice. It has very limited extradition, and has a somewhat libertarian government, unless you are a communist or want to make trouble for other citizens.

Most important, Chile is a country ruled by both reason and pragmatism. They avoid making waves or being a pest.
