Idea 1) In the true tradition of Pakistan justice, we flay this c**ksucker madman alive, and then we, along with India and Iran have a little talk with the Pakistani leadership. We tell them they have 2 choices: 1) we’d be more than happy to give them technology for growing food beyond their wildest dreams, seed stock, desalinization plants to make limitless clean fresh water, provide education, and instilling in this poverty strewn country a view of tomorrow where they can compete in a global economy and have more prosperity than any ever imagined. Or 2) we do nothing. No imports, no exports. They become an island. Give them 30 seconds to decide. Naturally they’ll want to take the offers and then turn their backs when convenient. At that point, we seal the borders and let them suffer. They will retaliate.

Idea 2) we pursue an endless series of largely pointless negotiations. We try to get them to share at least some of the places to which they’ve sold nuke technology. We go after those places as each case deems fit. Maintain the status quo. Hope that their hateful little souls don’t burn the end of the short fuse of poverty and lash out against Iran and India. All the while hoping they will do serious damage to Iran and India. This is about what our gov is doing.

Idea 3), again, flay this c**ksucker madman alive along with everyone in the Pakistan nuke program, and then pursue idea 2.

That aside, I nominated you for prez. What do you suggest?
