Now we’re expected to believe the pollsters, lobbyists and other interested parties that the Pakistanis are (finally!) falling in love with America all over again:

“…the number of Pakistanis with a favorable opinion of the U.S. doubled to more than 46% at the end of November from 23% in May 2005.

…While support for the U.S. has surged, there’s also been a dramatic drop in support for Osama bin Laden and terrorism. Since May, the percentage of Pakistanis who feel terrorist attacks against civilians are never justified has more than doubled to 73% from less than half, while the minority who still support terrorist attacks has also shrunk significantly. There’s been a similar increase in the number of Pakistanis disapproving of bin Laden, which rose to 41% in November up from only 23% in May.”

Awesome!

Now that the Pakistanis are on board with the war on terror, the rest is just details.
