#3 The only solution is to crush the "vaunted" Paki military, kill lots and lots of pakistanis, divide the country in half along the Indus River between India and Afghanistan, and continue to clear the talibunnies from Afghanistan. It'll take maybe a year, two at most. Most of the Pashtuns of the Tribal Agencies will be killed, but I see that as a plus. They're the primary supporters and members of the talibunnies, so they should pay the majority of the price. Afghanistan will get a seaport (Karachi), and India will be able to reunite Jammu & Kashmir. It will end the majority of the phony passport game, curb terrorism, and give the world a new respect (or at least fear) of the United States. India should be "encouraged" to assimilate Bangladesh, too. While counter-insurgency works locally, to really control terrorism will require the destruction of those states that sponsor it. If that means they disappear from the map, so be it.

#4 I think the new paki Gov't is just trying to shake us down for a bigger aid package next year.

#5 India kowtows to it's own Muslims. What would happen when the numbers doubled, with the new citizens reared on jihad? It'd take a good three generations to cure them of that, and only if intensive education and communal retaliation are applied, something neither India nor Afghanistan are likely to do.

#6 "We will take a stand for sovereignty. We will take a stand for dignity. We will take a stand for self-respect." We will take a dump in our diapers the next time we see a Predator....

#7 So let's see..... on 6/9 the Rand report comes out (you're basic fair warning).

On 6/11, a bunch of Talipakies get whacked for double-dipping.

Gotta work on the lag time. 48 hrs is unacceptable. 15 minutes is the goal.

How about dividing Pak among ethnic lines into 5-6 new countries?

#9 tribal territories all the way to the Indian Ocean? It's leading there, the post-nuke attack will ensure there's mutations aplenty to make it even more fun!
