Apparently the US threatened to bomb Pakistan if they did not support the war to depose the Taliban in Afghanistan. Yeah, ok conspiracy theory bullshit. Well, not so as the person who has claimed this is Pakistan's own President Pervez Musharraf!

US Threatened to bomb Pakistan after 9/11: Musharraf (Reuters; Thursday 21st September 2006)
That's going to do wonders for the credibility of the Western World! (and yes, I know it was the States who threatened Pakistan but in todays climate what the States does is unfortunately reflected on the entirety of the 'western' world in the eyes of many...)
