Really, it's Cheney who is the really bad one... Bush is a criminal for going along with him and allowing him to do the stuff he did, but the ideas in the first place came from Cheney's gang for sure.
Anyway, on the subject here, Pakistan really is a huge, huge problem... I don't really know what can be done about it. Their army can't beat the religious fundamentalists, and doesn't really want to try (they want to save their strongest efforts for fighting India, and may need the radicals' help if that happened...). Pakistan pretty much supported the Taliban through much of the '90s, you know... it hasn't changed all that much. But what can we do? Overthrowing governments should not be an option, so all we can really do is keep trying to convince them to do the right thing... but they just don't seem to really want to try. Hence the depth of the problem. :(
(When the Pakistani president has to say "Our nuclear weapons are safe from the Taliban", you know it's time to worry...)
