We Have Met the Enemy

And they is us.

Pakistan is their own worst enemy:

Pakistan continues to insist it was the victim in a November 26th incident where Pakistani troops fired on Afghan troops across the border at Afghan and American troops, and an American airstrike response that killed 24 Pakistani troops. The Pakistani military is waging a major media campaign to portray itself as a victim of American aggression.

The body count is pretty high, you have to admit:

Pakistan continues to suffer 5-6 times as many deaths from terrorists and rebels as does India (with six times the population.) In other words, adjusting for population, Pakistan is 30 times as violent as India, at least when it comes to terrorist and rebel caused deaths. Such deaths in Pakistan are running at the rate of 7,000 a year. In the last three years, Pakistan claims to have suffered 35,000 terrorist related deaths, mostly in their northwest tribal territories.

Pakistanis do such a thorough job of wrecking Pakistan that I sometimes think it must be a foreign plot. I mean, how could a people freely do to themselves what Pakistanis are doing?
