The inclusion of Pakistan in the war scenario for the Middle East as presented by Netanyahu indicates that the current Pakistani hybrd regime , at the behest of the United States, is poised to repeat the mistake of the "Afghanistan War." The first such conflict was initiated by a military ruler under the guise of a "war on terror," and now once again, the country is being steered into a conflict outside the region this time under the pretext of "Defending Makkah." Consequently, the theater of the Middle East conflict will extend to Pakistan, a development that is part of a Western agenda.
