We have Pakistani blood on our hands as well. Afghan blood, Iraqi blood, Yemeni blood, Libyan blood. So much blood has been spilled over the last few decades that it could fill a great lake. Yet still we persist in this war on terror which cannot be decisively won, we persist in this struggle that most understand will not end. Propaganda versus the truth, compassion and empathy versus hatred and ignorance. The ancient struggle to define what is good and right as opposed to what is evil and wrong.

The war on terror, ultimately, cannot be won through physical or military means. It can only be won through winning minds and hearts on all sides.

I'm not going to despise Pakistan or their government or intelligence agencies any more than I do our own. We are as guilty as they of terrible crimes, ultimately, right or wrong, we have far more blood on our hands than they do. The pot calls the kettle black, neither realizing the irony or absurdity of the statement.
