Last time I checked the flag had 50 stars not 30, if you're going to burn it at least have the right flag to burn...
I believe that Pakistan is and has been in bed with the enemy, they use the money the U.S. and other NATO countries give Pakistan to feed and arm the insurgents. If they want to pull away from Nato we should let them, they will pull away from billions of aid dollars thus starving the insurgents and flush them out of their Pakistani safe haven. We see too much activity between insurgents and Pakistan, I believe they go to Pakistan to rearm and refuel with our money. It would be a wise decision to take our money and spend it in America where it will not fall in the hands of the enemy.
