What are the problems that they can cause for us? Like 9/11 problems or worse?
I am serious what are the things that can be done to us?
Can those things be prevented from entering this country?
If we believe this is so very serious, why haven't we done everything known to man to stop it?
{{According to U.S. terrorism experts, the threat to the United States emanating from Pakistan's ungoverned tribal areas is comparable to the one it faced from Afghanistan on September 11, 2001. Al-Qaeda "has hundreds of training camps" scattered throughout the region, says a western official in Pakistan with access to some intelligence reports. "Most are less than an acre in size, so they are difficult to detect." But at the moment Pakistan has little to no ability to tackle the problem. What it does have is a weak, fractured government whose sole focus is on trying to figure out who is running the country. The parliamentary coalition that eclipsed the former military leader, Pervez Musharraf, spends most of its time in office wrangling over positions of power, neglecting the country's most pressing problems. Any long-term strategy on dealing with militants is just being pushed aside. "It's like nobody is minding the store," fumes Shaukat Qadir, a retired brigadier. "If they don't start paying attention, we will be in trouble."}}
-----------------
You see this? Do you think we really give a flying crap about Mushy and all his men and who is in control? That they-Pakistan cannot get their mess together is too bad.
I have a kid who I would like to see have a normal life as I know many people would. It's enough that we have ALL the regular crap, gas prices and food prices and now the medical crap, that we have to be concerned about "hundreds of training camps" so tiny that they are hard to detect! in PAKISTAN!
I mean I don't care. Fix it. Damn!
And this...
{The U.S. is in a difficult position, says Seth Jones, a terrorism expert at the Rand Corp. No one knows who is in power in Pakistan, so the Americans are dealing with everybody, which means essentially no one. Pakistan has become the neglected stepchild, only third or fourth in a list of U.S. strategic interests that start with Iraq and Afghanistan. "Pakistan should be number one," says Jones. "The most serious homeland threat to the United States, from abroad, comes from militant groups operating in Pakistan. That in itself means that Pakistan should be at the top of U.S. interests for all."}
And this...
{No one knows who is in power in Pakistan, so the Americans are dealing with everybody, which means essentially no one.}
No one knows who is in power???? After 9/11 and they nearly collasping our Pentagon and trying to bring us to our knees, I'll tell who should be in power- WE SHOULD BE IN POWER THERE. I DON'T CARE ABOUT THEIR STUPID POLITICS OR THEIR EGOS. If Pakistan which has nukes and terrorists flowing through it like blood, we need to quit being so worried about hurting peoples feelings.
They need to know we mean business.

And please someone out there get over yourselves...this is about the entire country not egos.
There's a job to do. The President is sworn to protect our country as well as all these other services.
It's really immature and dangerous.
And this is not the time for that kind of behaviour. I am sure many agree.
