Pakistan- the Key?

Many feel and with no small amount of justification that Iran is and has been the head of the snake when it comes to fostering the kind of activity that destabilizes and endangers the world. That is surely a plausible contention but one could also reasonably say Pakistan is a grave source of chaos and has fostered more than her share of international jihad. After all Pakistan has been the source of many terror plots against India, was the seedbed for the 7/7 London terror attack, and has been the hub for the Taliban in orchestrating attacks against the US and her allies in Afghanistan and even directed against innocent fellow Pakistanis. And the one item that Pakistan alone deserves blame for is nuclear proliferation complete in North Korea and still seeping into Iran through the A. Q. Khan network. Now ponder the addition of Osama bin Laden living in relative comfort before American justice found him and one could say jihad and international trouble-making have two heads-one hissing in Iran and the other snarling in an equally culpable Pakistan.
