#1 Why the Pakistanis or anyone else would care enough to protest what the British do anymore is beyond me. After the humiliation of the Royal Navy in the Gulf and the retreat from Basra there is no reason to take us seriously, let alone fear us.

If these were military defeats it would be one thing. But these events showed the spine of the British Establishment, media and worse yet the British people no longer has the stomach for a fight. We are done for. God help us but our best hope is the French.

#4 The Paks see the presence of British troops in Kashmir as legitimizing Indian possession in the eyes of the International community.

Especially since India has prevented the UN observers from deploying on its side of the LOC.

The UN is present on the Pak side. They have never reported a single terrorist crossing of the LOC.

A few decades ago the UN detachment was even caught red handed moving border markers in favor of Pakistan.

The Indians have not forgotten and consider the UN force useless. They have placed severe restrictions on where they may go.

#5 The Paks have previously complained about US special forces exercising in Kashmir. There are photos from airforce exercises where the USAF is clearly over the Himalaya in Kashmir.

They go positively livid about reports of India-Israel special forces exercises...

#6 The Paks should have been allowed to participate in the exercises--they could have played the role of the enemy.
