Obama or Bush II as far as Afghanistan and Pakistan are concerned will be characterised by a more aggressive stance in Pakistan and Afghanistan including a long term surge in Afghanistan and an attempt to replace Karzai who has been a most unappreciative puppet who shows unacceptable signs of independence and is critical of air strikes and their collateral damage!

It is rather questionable whether Obama is much more committed to 
"peace" than Bush. This assault on Pakistan has the potential to turn 
into a major disaster when you consider that the Pakistani army is 
riddled with fundamentalists and that it is a nuclear power. Wouldn't it 
be funny if WWIII was triggered by the actions of a Columbia grad who 
was once pals with Bill Ayers and Rashid Khalidi?
