#3 Is that the F3 macro you're using, Bill Clinton?

There's a lot more to the history and identity of Pakistan than that simplistic refrain you've adopted. It's a dangerously failing state, one which may well plunge us all into a much bigger conflict.

#4 lotp, I don't think that your view and Bill's are mutually exclusive. Stating A does not require or restrict an unrelated B as this continues.

Bill's statement is certainly not against the idea of Wakiland failng and starting a much bigger conflict.

#5 "Pakistan is a collection of places and ethnic groups no one else wanted"

That's not entirely true, Bill.

If it were, the Gazooks would be in Pakiwakiland instead of the Muddled East.
