Pakistan and the Neocons

Joe Klein wonders why the neocons aren't concerned with recent events in Pakistan. Joe suspects it may be Israli influence. He may be correct, but what amazes me more is how the neoconservative movement seems to revolve around war. It's the first option they put on the table for any sort of international problem as if America should be an empire throwing its weight around militarily wherever we feel like. I guess they don't realize that this is one of the reasons we are much less respected in the world these days and why our soft power has seen a sharp decline.

But, back to Pakistan. I think we should be much more worried about events there than in Iran. After all, we know Pakistan has nukes.
