How to Repress the Pakistani Threat

Nicholas Kristof, The New York Times | November 24, 2008

President-elect Obama’s toughest international challenge will be Pakistan. ++ To avert rising threats, financial support for Pakistan’s government and military should be limited. ++ Cutting tariffs on agricultural products would be an effective measure to strengthen the economy and provide new jobs. ++ The peace process in Kashmir must be advanced, with more pressure placed on India. ++ However, another major reason for Pakistan’s instability is a lack of education. ++ Pakistan’s “greatest enemy isn’t India but illiteracy.”
