My opinion is I doubt we will mess with Pakistan in a military situation. I am suprised that the US has not imposed some sort of economic sanctions on Pakistan. Just think what mess we have going on in Iraq right now and it has a population of about same as Texas. I am of the opinion that Al-Q and Taliban leadership is hiding over the Pakistan boarders. Any information you might have, i would be interested in seeing...

Pakistan stats:
Population: 159,196,336 (July 2004 est.)
Military manpower - availability: males age 15-49: 39,793,586 (2004 est.)
Military manpower - fit for military service: males age 15-49: 24,355,985 (2004 est.)
Military manpower - reaching military age annually: males: 1,891,101 (2004 est.)
