What is odd, is that since, the Brown Critic's are accussing him of 'aiding' terrorism by handing Pakistan the British tax payers money when 45% of planned attacks are instigated in pakistan.. ODD

I think people have to understand the politics and the last twenty years of Pakistan, and the current sentiment of the world leaders just doesn't fit into pakistans plight. It doesn't make sense.

The terrorism of pakistan seems to have taken a turn around it used to be (and probably still is ) Islamists against Hindus' ..............They've always had bombs going off same as India. it's almost like they needed these last incidents to "prove" terrorist activities towards the west. There was nothing towards the west in that country until America started bombing the north ..............revenge? Now they are out to get eveyone? doesn't make sense.

There are terrorist cells and always have been all over the world "sleepers" we used to call them and every country has them. This is just snow balling out of control now.
Agreed. I have to admit, that i'm fed up with the India/Pakistan bit and wish their was a leader who'd tell them to just get on with it. Unfortunately, some-one has to invest in intelligence to root out the cells be it whatever country they are in.

it'll be interesting to see what happens when brown asks Obama to support him on this one?

But it's happened, everyone is now blaming Pakistan for the ills of terrorism.

i'm afraid I have a lot of respect for musharraf. What has happened in pakistan is a direct result of western interference, IMHO

Here's a bit about the man ........Pervez Musharraf - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


You've got things a bit back to front there Musharrif was a military dictator that was finally ousted by the democratic forces in pakistan, arguably American support for him was doing more to gain the extremists more support than it did to lose them support. No one likes a leader apparently in the pockets of a foreign power.

It also doesn't help that americans keep dropping bombs on pakistan, no matter what you think on islamic extremists being bombed is unlikely to do anything but make you hostile to the one bombing you.

I actually got the title of my thread wrong. It was 75% Brown has said are linked to Pakistan.

As i have said in other posts, i believe the only way forward to stamping out Al-Quaeda or any other terrorist outfit is with the investment into inteligence to track, arrest, prosecute and deport. Brown also needs to come along way in abolishing some of the ridiculous 'human Rights' that have crept into our society where suspects or even convicted terrorists can appeal through the courts to stay in our country because 'Oh god forbid, if we force them back to their own country, they may get killed!'.

Jack Straw is talking about this but i still think it'll be years off before anything is done.

I see Brown's pact as a good move. The last thing religeous fanatics need to fuel their fire is peace and harmony with their leader, in this case Pakistan.

However, i do feel the pact is futile all the time America is still bombing Pakistan.

(That's not anti-American).
