Bush Visits Bin Laden Country

President Bush and Osama bin Laden are visiting the same country this week.

The President will spend much of his week in Pakistan and India, and the President insists that there is equivalence between the two countries. "These nations are undergoing great changes," Bush said recently, "and those changes are being felt all across the world."

Well, India is undergoing great changes. Pakistan, on the other hand, is one of the world's primary breeding grounds for terrorism. If ever there were an unreliable partner, one who says one thing and does another, it is Pakistan.

The politically correct position on Pakistan and India -- at least the Cold War nuclear obsessed position -- is to lump India's nuclear forces in with Pakistan's. After all, the two nuclear nations have clashed along their borders and threatened nuclear war.
