Pakistan on Edge

To the Editor:

Re “Biden, Again, on Why Pakistan is the Real ‘Crisis Waiting to Happen’” [posted to observer.com on Nov. 8]:

Now that Pakistan’s president, Pervez Musharraf, has thumbed his nose at the Bush administration by declaring a national state of emergency, where does the Bush crew go from here?

The American people have never, in my memory, been so poorly served when it comes to issues on the international front.

The ideologues and incompetents surrounding this president have been wrong or outfoxed on just about every serious issue facing this nation.

It will take decades to repair the damage being done, let alone diminish the danger these bunglers have placed us in.
