Victor Davis Hanson argues in this piece in National Review Online that we need to stop supporting autocracies and dictatorships because we don't really need to anymore. He selects Musharraf's Pakistan as a prime example of a government that we should not support. Being of the pragmatic mindset when it comes to international relations, I think that he makes quite a few valid points. However, I think it may be a bit too much at this point in India/Pakistan relations for us to do such a thing. If India sees us pulling all support on Pakistan's government, there will be even less of a reason for India to try to avoid war. At this point we can not afford to have a Pakistan in shambles(it would be even worse then it is presently for finding Al Qaeda and their ilk).
