Icheoku says if the New York Times story of the complicity of the Islamic Republic State of Pakistan in sheltering Osama Bin Laden, facilitating the Mumbai attack and the latest killing of a journalist for just doing his job, is true, may be it is about time the war of terror shifted from Afghanistan to Pakistan. To qualify as such state sponsor of terror deserving of invasion, the state has to be seen as sponsoring or supporting terrorists activities. Icheoku says the shielding and harboring of the late terrorist chief, Osama Bin Laden, by itself alone qualifies Pakistan as belonging in this group of States as it is the ultimate act of state terrorism. Icheoku says, nuke or no nuke, the United States should make a b-line into Pakistan to help flush the country of the several thousands of terrorists who have found a welcoming government and military establishment in that Islamic Republic. Major General Athar Abbas as well as several other Pakistan's military chiefs should be regarded as fair targets in the event the current impasse between Washington and Islamabad boils over.
