Pakistan Article
I think it is important that we are keeping an eye on Pakistan, but we shouldn't declare ourselves the main enforcer. Pakistan's policies (which have religious roots) are not ideal for trying to stay on the same level with Pakistan. "Husain Yllaqqani, a Pakistani politician and commentator" who has had problems with his government says, "By using jihad as an instrument of policy in Kashmir and Afghanistan, Pakistan may think it has been using the jihadis, but the jihadis have been using Pakistan." (p. 122) This quote explains how the country of Pakistan gets the blame for things that its citizens do. However, it is our goal that their government take charge, but with their nuclear possibilities, it is not wise to jump into things without knowing what to do next.
