Line in the Sand Must Be Drawn for Pakistan

In his recent speech laying out the United States path forward in Afghanistan, President Trump also put Pakistan on notice given their less than subtle role in support and indifference to western terrorist enemies. To include the Taliban and al-Qa'ida. America's relationship with Pakistan has long been tenuous, requiring delicate management given the hostilities against the west by many among Pakistan's populace, and the United States' need to leverage Pakistan's role in helping us identify terrorists. Add to it Pakistan's nuclear program and the lawless areas that hide long sought enemies, and the United States finds itself having no choice to but to make clear where the line in the sand is.
