[quote=Ronin4hire;865499]You see nothing wrong with your position? Are you oblivious to pretty much the entire foundation of the Western legal system and Western philosophy?
Um.. I agree with you there.
But you said earlier
THAT is where you're being presumptuous.

Worst case scenario.. Pakistan's nuclear weapons get into the wrong hands.
Without the aid... Pakistan would probably descend into chaos.
So you see.. the Americans are stuck between a rock and a hard place. Do you discontinue aid to the guys who you need to pursue this conflict in Afghanistan? Or do you continue working with the guys whom some of which are secretly working with the enemy?

That's easy. You still help them with their aid money, but at a price. They have to personally admit that they knew where Osama was all this time and that they helped him remain hidden from the public. Also, they have to give the names of the people they're in cahoots with. Our money will not and should not go to those who consort with the enemy. When you think about it, we're giving them money to help our downfall because part of that money is, without a doubt, being used to fund Al-Qaeda.
