If the US did what you suggested without 1st pulling out our troops from Afghanistan they would be abandoned for reasons previously stated.That said:I don't disagree with your suggested action G2G - I do disagree with the hasty implementation suggested without thought to the destiny of any troops in Afghanistan when Pakistan shut down all supply lines leading to them - which they would absolutely be able to do short of us conquering them. You wanna do that? Conquer them? I thought you didn't want anymore foreign wars or involvement of the US in foreign affairs.Well neither do I really. But getting disentangled from it all takes time. Even if we did achieve the isolationism so many here seem to desire there will still occur situations where it will be preferable to fight on foreign soil and have the resulting destruction rained upon the enemy's, towns and cities rather than have it rained on ours -  which is exactly what would happen if, as so many of those who consider the actual invasion of our soil to be the only valid reason for going to war, got their way. I'll play nice though. I'll limit my description of those folks to being short sighted.</blockquote>
