Dion is speaking about the torrents of terrorists flowing through the border region of the two countries. However in noting, what must be a very apparent problem for it to show up on a Liberal radar,  he indicates NATO should go a step further and walk into Pakistan if they can’t stop the problem.

Perhaps Dion’s aides didn’t properly go through the background of the area, political and otherwise, before they touched down. Pakistan isn’t exactly where every country wants to be in terms of stability. Offering to bring NATO troops in to hunt terrorists is like adding a table spoon of hot sauce to a steaming cup of tea, nothing is going to cool down.

Pakistan has since replied, chalking Dion’s comments up to ‘irrational’ in a very diplomatic fashion.

There’s no word on deputy Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff’s condition after hearing the comments made by Mr. Dion. We’re sure he’s due to make a full recovery as Liberal leader shortly.
