I wont lie, I don't stay "on top" of foreign policy news, I keep up enough to know what is going on, but not enough to know every detail. But from what I've seen it fees like the current US government is trying really hard to not embroil the country in what could become another military action with Pakistan. It's almost as if there is a real aversion to it. Be it economic spending pressures, the current election year political climate, or whatever, there really seems to be an aversion to getting "too hard nosed" about things with Pakistan. The policy towards Pakistan has been confusing at best, spineless at worst.
Could there be some regional influence in play? Could getting too heavy handed with Pakistan further destabalize an already volatile area?
