India--5,000 Years Old, Still Best in Show

President Bush's recent visit to India underscored a question that has been lingering in the minds of this TDS reporter for many a long night, namely, why in the world haven't we given the boot to Pakistan yet?

Not only would dropping Pakistan from our list of friendly nations allow us to cooperate more broadly with India (the world's largest democracy), it would also afford us latitude to declare war on Pakistan, thus allowing us to invade and hunt for Osama bin Laden wherever and whenever we choose.

This reporter is bellowing a mighty "Huzzah!" for India--5,000 years old, and still best in show.
