Pakistan, as you know, has nuclear weapons, which the Taliban (read terrorists) want in order to terrorize the United States and our allies.

I have no problem helping our allies if they ask for it. But enough is enough. Using the above logic we need to help Israel take out the nuke program in Iran because they could use it to terrorize the world, and we need to help the South Koreans take out the nukes in North Korea for the same reason, and etc etc. It would never end.
If Pakistan asks us to come there and help, we help, but we dont try to occupy and stay for years and years. History proves that no occupation ever succeeds unless you are willing to commit genocide upon the population.
Mr. President: I did not vote for you. The one issue I agreed with you was the mistake of the war. You are now making the same mistake. Please reconsider.
