We are there "friends' because of the money involved and the fact they
have nuclear weapons which can possibly be used by the Taliban if the
corrupt Pakistan Government is influenced by their neighbors... If we
had heeded the warnings from our forefathers we would have never gotten
ourselves into this mess.
Protesters at Sunday's rally shouted, "A friend of the USA and India is
a traitor."
ISLAMABAD (AP) - More than 30,000 Islamists rallied against the U.S. in
the Pakistani city of Lahore on Sunday, demanding Islamabad cut off ties
with Washington following NATO airstrikes last month that killed 24
Pakistani soldiers.
The protest highlighted the ability of hard-liners to bring their
supporters into the streets, as well as the lasting anger over the Nov.
26 attack, which has complicated U.S. efforts to enlist Pakistan's
cooperation on the Afghan war...

(Please read the article on this blog titled "Alliances With Other
Nations No Longer A Gray Area.")
George Washington urged the American people to preserve the national
credit by avoiding war, avoiding unnecessary borrowing, and paying off
any national debt accumulated in times of war as quickly as possible in
times of peace so that future generations do not have to take on the
financial burdens that others have taken on themselves. Despite his
warnings to avoid taking on debt, Washington does state his belief that
sometimes it is necessary to spend money to prevent dangers or wars that
will in the end cost more if not properly prepared for.
George Washington warned the American people to avoid long-term friendly
relations or rivalries with any nation...
He argues these attachments and animosity toward nations will only cloud
the government's judgment in its foreign policy. Washington argues that
longstanding poor relations will only lead to unnecessary wars due to a
tendency to blow minor offenses out of proportion when committed by
nations viewed as enemies of the United States. He continues this
argument by claiming that alliances are likely to draw the United States
into wars which have no justification and no benefit to the country
beyond simply defending the favored nation.
Washington continues his warning on alliances by claiming that they
often lead to poor relations with nations who feel that they are not
being treated as well as America's allies, and threaten to influence the
American government into making decisions based upon the will of their
allies instead of the will of the American people.

"Washington argues that the American Government needs to ensure that
"the diffusion of knowledge" throughout the United States is a primary
goal, since the government has been created to enforce the opinion of
the people and as a result the opinion of the people should be informed
and knowledgeable." This is why these posts are being shared by those of
