| Indian Defense Minister Says Options Narrowing |
| 2002-05-28 |
| Indian Defense Minister George Fernandes said on Tuesday that New Delhi saw no signs of Pakistan seeing reason and that its options were narrowing. But in an interview with Star News Television, he said it would not be correct to say South Asia was on the brink of war. Okay, then. How about "Eve of destruction"? "On the brink of widespread devastation"? "It appears that reason is still not finding any place in the leadership of Pakistan... naturally our options will become fewer and fewer. Which option will finally prevail is something on which I cannot comment." Sweet reason has never been a Pak virtue. I hope India intends to use all the RSS brownshirts in a nice frontal assault, since they enjoy killing Muslims so much... "To say that they are on the brink of war may not be proper," he said, speaking after an address to the nation on Monday evening by Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf. Passing gas in public isn't proper. Wishful thinking when you're responsible for over a billion people is something else. |
