Would Obama Bomb Pakistan?

The US military presence in Afghanistan is now pushing its way through to Pakistan. President Bush has said that these raids should not be seen as an invasion but as self-defense. Is it really self-defense to invade a nation and people’s homes in the name of the “war on terror?”

What is most shocking is the fact that the Obama campaign praised these actions as “baby steps” in the right direction. How is it that a candidate who a large portion of his supporters are voting for his anti-war policies is able to say, “that the central front in the war on terror is Afghanistan and Pakistan,” and still be seen as anti-war? The antiwar movement needs to welcome Obama supporters into its ranks, but it also has to realize that this war is going to go on no matter who wins the elections in November.

I have said it before, and I will say it again, Obama is full of shit. If anyone really did care about fighting terrorism, they should target the actual terrorists instead of an entire country. There are plenty of terrorists in Saudi Arabia, but of course the military isn't going to touch them. Also, there is a terrible genocide occuring that no one seems to care about, that we can do something about, but the U.S. government is too "occupied" with conducting a genocide of their own.
