Not exactly, but I wouldn't have done what Musharraf did either. Including handing over the Taliban ambassador to America - he could have been representing Hitler, but we were obliged by international law to protect him. Also, allowing the usage of Pakistani bases to bomb Afghanistan while we were completely kept in the dark on the campaign...something that continues to this day. That's not how you treat an "ally".

Doesn't really matter in my opinion. I'm inspired by something Martin Luther King said:
"Cowardice asks the question - is it safe? Expediency asks the question - is it politic? Vanity asks the question - is it popular? But conscience asks the question - is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular; but one must take it because it is right"
