^^ I never said like Shiite are in majority here however Pakistan is the 2nd largest Shiite country that's the fact.

When I used to sell cars I would plant seeds or ideas in advance because I knew that it was going to be an issue and it is easier to overcome that issue before it becomes and issue. I think that is really what is going on here. Pakistan knows that the US is going to attack..

The region cannot tolerate a new war, but in case of any military action occurring in the region, Pakistan will pursue a neutral policy, IRNA quoted Qureshi as addressing the Pakistani Senate Friday.

Basically they are selling the fact to you right now that Pakistan will be neutral when the war breaks out and you don't even notice it... The way it is worded they make it sounds like they are taking a hard stance against an attack but really they are saying when it happens we are not going to do anything but so we do not have any riots we are saying now that we are against the whole thing.. What this statement is really saying is that they know an attack is immenent... not that they are trying to lobby against an attack...

I think in some ways Iran is using their nuclear program in a concept that is meant to throw their muscle around in the region. It baffles the mind as to the large quantities of centrifuges that are being assembled. One can only theorize they will not limit that to 3000. Think bigger. Intelligence Agencies must be asking, what else beyond a rational Nuclear Power Plant Program are they pursing? Does anyone really think they are going to stop at using that technology for Nuclear Power? The natural way for man is to advance forward. Like any one of us, we are not satisfied unless we move forward and advance our technological hurdles. Iran, like any country has citizens that will take whatever measures to protect its very being. In the end, I am sure they want what we all want- a sense of security knowing they will not be attacked. The way to achieve that is to bring an end to state sponsored terrorism and embrace all religions and all people. The Government of Iran seems to have a hard time accepting that concept. The best we can hope for is that Good Men find a way to stop the madness that Evil Men are pushing forward. When the sun comes up tomorrow we should remember it is the actions of Good Men that keep that happening.

The Shiite Government in Iraq would loose favor with the Americans and not to mention it would rally Iranians around an otherwise unpopular regime.

I visited Iran at the beginning of the gulf war (I am European American but always wanted to visit and thought the window of opportunity might be closing). Anyway I was surprised at the number of Iranians (well those that spoke English) that claimed they wanted the U.S. to take out their government.

I told them I doubted they would feel that way when the bombs started dropping. They all replied basically the same way, saying something about change and sacrifice. I still believe that their “overthrow the regime” ideas would change very quickly when the first pictures of dead/wounded Iranian kids hit their news channels.

Then again they may be able to handle those images better. After seeing the government sponsored music videos featuring bombs and wounded children (all real footage) I am quite surprised the Middle East doesn’t turn out more extremists. Americans can’t handle the sanitized images of the carnage this war as caused; if pictures of 8 year old American kids with their limbs blown off flooded the U.S. TV networks I think our populace would go absolutely nuts.

Yea I took the opportunity to visit America last year, and I was surprised how many Americans didn't know where America was on the map They asked me to ask Iran to invade them, they told me that we are sick of bush and we need someone to take him out

Well that's my imaginatory story about me visiting America, I have never done it, and it's very hard to believe my story don't you think?? Why in hell would you expect us to believe your imaginatory story??

I would think that the Pakistani public would have an outpouring of support for the Iranians and would expect to see people crossing the border to lend help. Much like Saudis are lending a hand in Iraq.

All the while, I'm sure Pakistan's government would remain "neutral" - I doubt that they would do much to discourage Pakistani help. And I would agree with that 100%. Though, I'd like to see Pakistan internationally denounce the attack against Iran, I think political ties (foreign aid) limit the amount to which Pakistan could object to such an attack, especially if it's in the name of the "War on Terror".
