Car bombing in Pakistan... again.

The title says it all.

Two car bombings occurred early Friday morning (Pakistani time).

One was in front of the national intelligence agency building in the Pakistani city of Peshawar. (Note: The car bombers find a way through one of the most highly guarded areas) This bomb killed at least 7 people and injuring over 30 people. The second car bomb went off 90 minutes later outside a police station in Bannu. This bomb killed 3 and injured 10.

It seems like car bombings in Pakistan aren't ending. Should we really allow this to keep going? Or should we add more troops? hmmm.

As of now, US international interests do not have Pakistan as the number 1 priority, nor should it be the number 1 priority. Where in the priority list does Pakistan lie?

I'm unsure of how much of a priority Pakistan should be regarding foreign policy in general, but it should NOT be an oversees involvement priority. We have our hands full with Iraq and Afghanistan, and to get involved with Pakistan would not be good for either Pakistanis or Americans.
