A follow on to Melkor's article: Australian Advisor to both Bush & Obama says collapse of the nation of Pakistan is "months away". We are seeing more and more collapsing nations around the world, primarily Muslim nations. Of course Pakistan has never been a fully unified nation. The northwestern part of the country has always been semi-autonomous and now is more or less fully autonomous.
Fun things for Obama:
- Nukes in the hands of militant Islamic fundamentalists
- Reactions of India, China, and Iran to the power vacuum.
- Far more people and territory to recruit and train Islamic fundamentalists
Perhaps persuasive talk and stern letters will help. To be fair though this slow motion train wreck has been coming for a while and it's hard to know what to do about it. However, threatened nations are doing something about it. India is buying an anti-missile system from Israel. See the next article regarding responses of our erstwhile allies as Obama proceeds to abandon them.

Would China at all be worried about this? What is their stake in the situation? Is this a front we can agree with them on? Or are they going to make business with these fundamentalists?
