Regional Anti-Terror War Urged
 India and Afghanistan yesterday called on their neighbor Pakistan to join hands in a regional effort to fight terrorism and promote economic cooperation.
| I hope they're not holding their national breath... |
The appeal was made by visiting Afghan President Hamid Karzai and Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh at a joint news conference after their talks on a wide range of issues. India has been a victim of terrorism for nearly 20 years. Both India and Afghanistan have suffered due to terrorism. Even Pakistan is not immune to terrorism, Manmohan said.
| What they didn't add was that both India and Afghanistan have been suffering from Pak terrorism for 20 years. The fact that Pakland isn't immune to terrorism itself merely indicates that they've created a Frankenstein's monster that they think they can control but can't. If it wasn't for the corpse counts it'd be funny, in a horrible kind of way. |
The two leaders stressed the need for cooperation between India, Afghanistan and Pakistan to fight the menace of terrorism affecting the entire region. I very much hope that all of us in this region will join hands to fight this menace. Karzai said.
| I think it'd be a lot more to the point for India and Afghanistan to join hands to fight against the terrorism emanating from Pakistan, which is probably what the two actually talked about in private. |
Asked about Pakistans alleged role in fueling terrorism in Afghanistan and in the region, Karzai replied: Terrorism is affecting all countries in the region. It is affecting our brothers in Pakistan. We will find a more effective way to deal with this menace.
| I'd suggest a combination of special operations and high explosives. |
