  While America plays it's part it can hardly be blames for all of it Nikki, The middle east has a way of dealing with things that are far from being self preserving. When threatened from outside they fall back on the one constant thing that uses the people for selfish reasons, religion. If the west were to back of sooner rather than later people of the middle east would shed the yoke of religion and embrace the freedom that comes with it but this will never happen with the west telling them what to do.

The West didn't put Musharref in power. Pakistan isn't part of the middle east. So try and blame everyone but the Muslims all you want but the fact is Pakistan is a creation of it self.
