Remember when President Bush made his “axis of evil” speech, and everyone on the left got mad because he made North Korea, Iran and Iraq angry?  They claimed that such bold pronouncements increased hatred for America in the world.

Now flash-forward to Barrack Obama saying he’d invade Pakistan:

Remember that this is a bit of a different situation.  Pakistan, while not a perfect ally, has been about as helpful as any middle eastern nation can be (given the widespread presence of Islamic extremism) in the war on terror.  Iraq (at the time), Iran and North Korea were/are evil regimes this nation has no business pandering to.
