As for Pakistan, they are an "ally" at least to our faces.
They are very unstable internally.
One Pakistani told me that they too are totally dependent upon the Arabs for oil.
Assuming OBL is in Pakistan, it would be hard to find him and would cause a bigger war than we already have.
Everything is contained for the moment.
As for the meaning of the word "imminent", I am not sure what Fred meant.
The dictionary says,
About to occur; impending: [SIZE=+0]in imminent danger.[/SIZE]
Maybe Fred meant that Pearl Harbor and Nine Eleven were attacks on American soil but did not threaten the entire country....
BTW, none of the above "rot" has one earthly thing to do with a misguided, demonically-inspired desire to come under a "one world government", and those who hold that agenda, FTR.
That 'agenda' was predicted and has been around for far longer than 66 years.
It even far preceeded the Roman Empire, and the history of most of the OT, dating all the way back to Nimrod and Babel.
