Iran and Pakistan are both influential predominantly Islamic countries. Pakistan is known to have nuclear weapons and the USA gives them billions of dollars in aid. Iran and the CIA says that Iran stopped it's nuclear program and the USA threatens to go to war with them. Am I missing something?

The official explanation for your question goes a little something like this. Pakistan is considered to be controlled by the western elites. We certainly know that the ISI were spawned by the CIA and were trained and funded. We also know that Musharaff is a dictator and his coup was said to have been engineered via western funding. Now in terms of the benefits that the U.S and the other western elites get from relationship, well for that you need to look at the geopolitical map and the relationship between India, China and Pakistan. The western elites empowered China by providing it with the infrastructure and the funds to build up the countries economy. Of course in doing so Europe, Canada, the U.S have lost millions of manufacturing jobs to outsourcing the key benefit to the western corporations of course is cheap goods means much greater profits. However this could be said to have been something of a very short term gain and a long term headache. The headache comes from China having a massive trade surplus which they then use to buy up treasury bonds and indeed which they can then use as an economic weapon to, because in their ownership of some 1 trillion dollars, they have the potential to turn the dollar into toilet paper (much more so than the dollars current value) by dumping large holdings of theirs. This is the economic aspect but the bigger headache is the ever increasing size of the chinese army, their exponential increase in military spending. For this nation who unlike America have not been pursuing military adventures and so their own machine has only become strengthened. The fear is that China will make a move at some point and with it's military might will look to completely take over. Pakistan serves the purpose of being a buffer zone whilst also looking after the western elites strategic interests which are namely the oil and gas pipelines. Iran on the other hand and bearing in mind this is the official explanation which I think is probably based upon truth and scare mongering is not controlled by the western elites. Or if it is, then the president of Iran has begun to break ranks with the key players. The reason for the attention being focused upon Iran has nothing to do with a fear of them developing nuclear weapons because as has been pointed out before India and Pakistan have been teetering on the brink of disaster for many decades and likewise Israel has a plethora of nuclear weapons. The nuclear weapons line is just something which has been successful in the past at striking fear into the public and thus resulting in support for a war. The recent study group has of course undermined that effort with their recent conclusions about Iran not posing an imminent danger. However as Ron Paul has recently said that there are still neocons intent on war with Iran and according to former CIA agents like Roger Behr, it is because strategically Iran could take the oil fields of Saudi Arabia and of Kuwait, strategically it's proxy force Hezbollah threatens to topple The Royal family in Saudi. There is a perception a perception which is given officially at least, that Iran could dominate the middle east. Which is the reason why the Saudi government is funding terrorist factions in Iran, as well as the CIA doing likewise, it's part of a collaborative effort to weaken Iran. However it's important to remember that Iran has never attacked a sovereign nation and the western elites fear anything they can not control.
it's really pretty simple, I don't see why you guys don't understand it. Israel is where Jesus was born. Therefore, it's where the u.s. government was originated since our country is One Nation Under God.
