Coward US' leaders the Taliban are your own cultivated crop and you cultivated this crop of Taliban in Afghanistan against USSR and now surprisingly and funnily you are afraid of cutting your own cultivated crop of Taliban and issuing the alerts and warnings to your citizens any where in Islamic countries most especially importantly in Pakistan,Afghanistan,Yemen and Libya to secure themselves from Taliban's attacks.... If this is so then stop any types of brutal and cruel war activities against Taliban and lets your citizens and diplomats stay safe and smart any where in the world most especially importantly in the Islamic countries especially Pakistan,Afghanistan and Yemen because this is impossible that you kill the innocent and sinless muslims and the muslims don't harm you,your citizens and diplomats on getting opportunities and chances.......

Here goes another few millions in investment to Pakistan. No sane businessman wants to put money in a place where he can not go and supervise his money grow. Peace and security is paramount to prosperity. End of the day It Is (still) Economy Stupid
