re: #31 Last Mohican
The good news is that the percentage of Pakistanis who support Al Qaeda has declined dramatically in the past few years. Here are the most recent figures from Pew:
Al Qaeda: 25% favorable, 34% unfavorable, 41% don’t know
Taliban: 25% favorable, 33% unfavorable, 40% don’t know
Somehow, I don’t find those figures very comforting.
