To smooth over the stormy relationship with Afghan President Hamid Karzai, President Barack Obama is throwing out the red carpet in Washington, D.C., for Karzai and his entourage.
Good on the whole, but there's no evidence that the Times Square bomber had anything to do with the Pakistani Taliban, except a claim of responsibility after the fact. They know how to blow things up. Even I know enough to have done a better job than this guy. There's no way he had any training or help from anyone that knows anything about detonating bombs.
The real story is that Obama's imperial policy is irritating people at home and elsewhere, who would otherwise be completely unconcerned with Afghanistan or Pakistan.
