After reading the article about Pakistani President Musharraf warning about a US Incursion being treated as an invasion, I remembered that Pakistani President Musharraf issued this warning in January 2008 while certain people have decided to publish it as a topic for the month of June 2008. For those who are not familiar with the story, it shall be told. In the beginning of 2008, Bush, the CIA [Central Intelligence Agency], and even Hillary Clinton threatened to enter Pakistani Territory in order to search for Al Qaeda. Even Barrack Obama who is currently the Democratic Candidate for President of the United States of America jumped in the bandwagon. While the news about Musharraf warning the United States of America is old, it has relevance as the United States of America under Bush wants to attempt to attack the Islamic Republic of Iran.

It appears that the Republicans and Democrats have not learned from their mistakes in Afghanistan and Iraq. It also appears that the Republicans and Democrats are practicing the art of flagellation against the brave men and women who serve in our Armed Forces in order to dominate the Middle East while our gasoline prices are shooting up to maybe One Hundred and Fifty Dollars a Barrel.

Pakistani President Mascara was right in that any incursion of the United States into Pakistani Territory would be treated as an invasion. After all, Pakistan and Iran [as well as other countries of the Middle East as well as the world] have the right to defend their country against an invasion. The Middle East as well as South Asia are fiercely proud of their country and any attempt to encroach on their sovereignty will be met with resistance. It would be wise for the Western Powers especially Great Britain and France to read their history of what transpired when there were incursions. It would also be wise to remember how the people of Afghanistan were able to rise up against their puppet Communist Leaders installed by Moscow in 1978 and after the Russian [Soviet] Invasion of Afghanistan in 1979. The people of Afghanistan were in danger and responded. The same would happen in the Middle East.

Since Pakistani President Musharraff has warned about how a US Incursion could be treated as an invasion, I propose a recourse. I propose the withdrawal of the American Troops from Afghanistan, Iraq, and other countries of the Middle East since we are the invaders. Let us withdraw all of our technology and leave them with their resources. I also propose erecting a wall so that we the Westerners do not visit the Middle East and they do not come to the Western World.
