#6 Not all Pakistani is Talibanized: see the post in Non-WOT on the celebration of Valentine's Day by a number of their young people, against the wishes of their religious conservatives. What we don't know is how many of each there are, and how willing they are to act: we know the Talibunnies are willing to act - even suicidally, and we know 'liberals' in the West are not willing to act at all; maybe Pakistani liberals fall somewhere in between?
