    Perhaps it is time for America and the rest of the world to 're visit placing Pakistan on the 'State sponsor of terrorism' list... it' clear as day that this government and its people sympathise with these animals....

    This is what I’m talking about. Politicians DO NOT care about American citizens, politicians care only about politicians. This of coarse is only my opinion but Democrats and Republicans are on the same side only trying to divide the citizens.
    It’s bad for business to sanction Pakistan.

    How exactly? The country has absolutely zero to offer anybody else... There only worth is\was to deter terrorism and help keep some form of peace in the region.. They don't seem too interested in either of those things

    Pakistan is an ally in the same way Israel is an ally.

    That is, both countries are mortal enemies of the US.

    But there is no outrage when the antifa and BLM terrorists are let off the hook? America last is back.

    I'm with you... However that is not the topic here.. That's an internal US subject and this is a foreign policy one... Why do you continue to back these guys?!

    PS. The UK probably does too

    Who do I back? You mean the Iranians? I don't back them. I view them as an irritant and I continue to marvel at the time our government spends worrying about them. If Washington wants an enemy that matters they need to look toward China. I would say the same thing to London.

    By you.. I mean America. Not you personally, I fully understand what your saying but describing Iran or any form of Islamic Extremism as just an 'irritant' is a little short sighted. But that's only my opinion.. It isn't an issue until it affects you right ? They are already getting away with murder (quite literally)

    It's simple, really. They have the Islamic BOMB and if they get pushed far enough they could become unstoppable proliferators. Kind of like where Iran is headed. Islam with nukes will be the beginning of the final war on this planet. Those who helped Iran should be tried as traitors and exiled to Gitmo for life.

    Pakistan's Supreme Court ordered the release on Thursday of a British national who was convicted of kidnapping and murdering Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl in 2002.

    The decision comes nearly two decades after the journalist's body was found in a shallow grave in the Pakistani port city of Karachi. He was killed five months after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. A videotape showing the aftermath of Pearl's beheading was sent to the U.S. Consulate in Karachi and posted on the Internet, a portent of the cinematic violence committed by Islamic extremist groups in the coming years.

    The 2-1 decision was on an appeal by the Pearl family and the Pakistani government against the ruling of a provincial court last April that overturned Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh's murder conviction and the convictions of three accomplices.

    Thursday's ruling was immediately denounced by the Pearl family, who described it as "a complete travesty of justice." They urged the U.S. to take action.

    Pearl's killer gets away with murder and that isn't right. And that's the truth.

    So it's all fair game as they have a nuke or two?
    I'm pretty sure if that's the way the game was played they would do as the US told them to...

    As soft as we have gotten on criminals, it won't surprise me that some will cheer the release. "His momma was mean to him and he was bullied as a child. Not his fault."

    We should've gained the favor of India back during the Cold War. They would have been a better ally than Pakistan all these years. Distancing ourselves from Pakistan and improving our relations with India would be the best move.

    Of course, our own federal government supports terrorism when it is convenient, so we can't be too harsh on Pakistan.

    Yes, Pakistan plays a dangerous double game.
    It ain't called "Terror Central" for nothing.
    Truth be told, no-one fears the Americans. Try that on a Chinese
    national, or a Russian, and see what happens.

    Iran isn't going to affect the U.S. or the U.K. in any meaningful way. It doesn't have the power to do so. China, on the other hand, does have the power and is working on it daily.

    Ignoring Pakistan for the moment, Israel in 1967 attacked the USS Liberty killing many sailors and wounding many more. That is not something an ally does.

    By way of AIPAC Israel controls the federal government. As Biden has noted many times, he is a Zionist. Thanks to AIPAC, in 27 states it is a criminal act to boycott Israeli products if one is boycotting as part of the BDS movement in support of Palestine.

    The British government is pretty much in the same boat regarding Israeli influence in government affairs.

    Afraid someone would ask that. Scratching my head to recall what happened and when
    but someone kidnapped or killed a Russian, maybe in the Middle East, and the Soviets
    brought their whole war machine down on the people.
    Imagine in the South China Sea, with the new shoot to kill permission, someone shoots
    up a Chinese 'fishing boat' and you get the idea.
    Russia and China don't live by the rule of law - people just disappear and whole races
    are under military control.
