| #7 For you Civil War experts: England's support of the Confederacy (or were those just trade agreements to get cotton for England's mills?) Although I suppose it wasn't the Confederacy being stupid. |

| #5 George Walker Bush made the stupidist alliance in the history of recorded diplomacy. Even though GW is our beloved Commander in Chimp(tm), somehow I doubt this. But it does bring up the question "What was the stupidest alliance in recorded history?". Let the ranting begin! |

| #2 Was it really stupid, or is it a way to secure this pro-al-Qa'ida Islamic hot spot. If the jihadees were pull off a coup and then gain control of Pakistan's nuclear arsenal it would be beyond a nightmare for a number of geostrategic reasons. Has there been a history of major problems with the current Paki government in terms of nuclear data being sold to the highest bidder? Yes, but it could be a lot worse if the Islamo-nuts take over. Pakistan is right up there with Iran as far as being a ticking time bomb thus warrenting our close monitoring of the daily situation from the ground level. |
