Clinton, in Pakistan, Confronts Rising Hostility

Good move! Hope this "desire to build a long-term partnership between the two nations" actualizes itself... hope that the US will not run away this time leaving us trapped behind as they did to us once... I've got a video regarding Hillary's acceptance of this historical fact that they once left us trapped behind when they were over with their stuff - the Cold War... it's human nature that we don't learn much from historical lessons... as G. W. F. Hegel once remarked, "What experience and history teach is this - that people and governments never have learned anything from history, or acted on principles deduced from it."... let's see... I'll upload that video if you permit... and thanks for the story! :)

Albert - I believe in giving the Obama Administration as much time as possible to solve the problems at hand. The delay to send more troops to Afghanistan is a good sign that he is not making a hasty decision. Why weren't we skeptican when Bush decided to pull out and landed instead in Iraq in 2003. Afghanistan, Iraq and now Pakistan are the unfinish work left behind by the old Bush Cheney Administrations. Lets give the new administration a chance to finish their negotiation.

I think it;s time to quit blaming Bush.  It is now Obama;s to handle and yes time will tell how well he does with it.  I.m not convinced that the delay isn't political.  The Administration isn.t new anymore.  Bush had to deal with 911 at this point.  Perhaps some hasty decisions were made back then.  Although I don.t agree with the decisons made, particularly after the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan, without a plan afterwards, I.m convinced he made decisions which he thought were in the interest of the safety of the American people.

Good for Hillary...Now if she will tone down the Military objectives...and stop treating people like terrorists...I think things will develop for mutual friendships to garner. Acowp..it is never time to quit blaming Bush...In fact that is his hope...but Americans do not believe his phoney 911 Commission Report.....or the fact of their lies blaming Alqaeda. I am grateful for the delay...because it gives people time to calm down and think rationally about things for a change....

Think of this Acowpoke....Bush only thinks of his own safety not the American people he used to attack Iraq... I suppose you did not know Bush family owns Oil wells in Kuwait..well they do..on his mothers side of the family...

The main requirements connected to the aid package of 7.5 billion concerns Pakistan not using the money for nuclear development or attacking other nations, which in this case I believe would be India.  The U.S. had to do this in order to not exacerbate instability in the region and give assurance to India that we partner with them also.   There is a delicate balance, and understand the restrictions placed on acceptance of the aid.  I do not view this as limiting their soverignty, which they have suggested. 

This is no different than when the federal government here gives money to individual states for specific projects like schools, transportation, etc.. It must be spent only in those areas or they risk losing the funding.  This generous aid to Pakistan is no different.

Hillary needs to get the media to stop calling people terrorists. When bombs go off..it needs to be labelled as such that a bomb went off.....and people are working to solve the indifferences. No terminology should we be calling them terrorists, because in their eyes we are terrorists.... In order to change the tide..we need to understand the other side...and begin to at least stop calling each other terrorists to have a break through toward eventually saying good things about each other... It is hard to say good things when people are hitting you, are bombing you, and bullets ring in the night...But it is a requirement I think toward...changing the mindset....that we are and have enemies. In fact we have no enemies...

The Mainstream Media is mostly the blame for this.. Should we blame the Military or should we blame the mainstream media for our death of people? I think the Media has a major role and they exaggerate things to a point to sell their news reports.....that it costs and creates more and more violence...not only for civilians but for soldiers as well.

We need to have Hillary and Obama change the tone... Ban the instigators of hate such as FOX News....because what they practice is not freedom of speech.....but freedom of Hate.

I hope our readers and writers here at NP will support the change in how we do reporting..and to expell the term terrorist ..in our writing.......That is using the word toward someone.

God Bless the USA....but more than that...God Bless the World and us all.

I support you all the way, Rev. Yes stop all this HATE mongering business that FOX News is doing. Give honest news reporting a chance. A news gathering company should just tell the news instead of being an Opposition member of a political party. What do you think if  we suggest to the Obama administration to sign a gentlemens' agreement with the Talibans and get the hell out of Afghanistan. However, we should continue to help the Pakistanis to get rid of the Alqueda once and for all.
