The safe haven that al-Qaida has found in Pakistan is very troubling.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There's no question that the main location of Al Qaida is in tribal areas of Pakistan.
Al Qaeda's vision of global jihad doesn't resonate in the rugged highlands and windswept deserts of southern Afghanistan. Instead, the major concern throughout much of the country is intensely local: personal safety.
Unfortunately, the American policy towards Pakistan is just to worry and express concern, and that is not a clear policy at all.
Afghanistan must never again be a safe haven for terrorism.
There is no more dangerous country in the world today than Pakistan.
The Pakistanis are very resilient people.
Pakistan is not about to crack down on terror groups or cut its military budget in order to build roads, schools and hospitals.
Al-Qaida is a worldwide organization. It's a continuous threat.
On the ground, Pakistan is the most virulently anti-American state on the planet.
The Taliban is resilient.
