Don't look for good things to come out of Pakistan anytime soon

First we--the US--dropped the little "information bomb" that we're pulling $800 million of aid to Pakistan and then, in the last 24 hours, we dropped a bunch of drones in on them and killed a reported 45 "militants". Look for things to get extremely unfriendly to the point of hot over there, in time to come, for sure. Put this with the information that, next door, in Afghanistan, President Hamid Karzai's brother was just killed and, I'll tell you, this corner of the world doesn't look promising at all. At all.
