Many years ago, on an American forum, a reader tried to bring up the nefarious and very central role of Pakistan( and to a large degree, Saudi Arabia) in regional and global Islamist terror. An American, while noting blandly the responsibility of these countries, suddenly shifted the discussion to Moslem countries that could play a moderating influence. And out came "Morocco. Morocco is the key". This is an American who more or less accepts the role of Pakistan and Saudi, what about those who are utterly naive or ignorant. One's experience is that the focus shifts to "Eye-ran and Eye-rak". Discussions about terrorism even turn to countries like Somalia, Turkey, Syria the Hizbul and Hamas in Lebanon. Just about anything but Pakistan. We can only hope that now the gaze will fall on Pakistan.
