#2  Good, let 'em take over the "government offices". That gives us a clear, well-identified aiming point, just as soon as we have a president with the cojones to do what's necessary.

#1  Due to the fanatical Islamic Taliban terrorists & their cohorts from al-Qaida, both Islamo-Wahhabists, with funding from Saudi Arabia, Pakistan is very rapidly supplanting Iran as the most dangerous Muslim controlled nation on earth, a nation which already has a fully functioning nuclear missile arsenal, the ultimate prize for the Islamofascists, sworn to exterminate all 'infidels'.
