This time it's in Pakistan, not Iraq, but the number of suicide attacks in Pakistan are clearly on the rise. More than 100 have been killed in the past week.
Will we attack and bring peace to Pakistan? Tony Snow does not rule that out, "We certainly do not rule out options, and we retain the option especially of striking actionable targets. But it is clearly of the utmost importance to go in there and deal with the problem in the tribal areas."
Imran Khan, former cricket star, and now a leading politician disagrees, "Extremism is rising, because you don't fight extremism with a man perceived as an American stooge, you don't fight extremism with suppression — you fight it with a genuine democratic process. The tribal areas are out of his control, whatever leverage he had is gone now."
