#1 So what does the new Pak government do? If they back the tribesmen they risk war with us and almost certainly lose power internally. If they side with us, they'll need to help protect supply routes. This brings the Khyber maniacs directly down on their heads. What to do? Either course threanens their hold on power. Maybe they could use an Obama strategy and just vote present.

Heh. At the risk of quoting rock lyrics, they could chose *not* to decide. But making that choice gets you the worst parts of both alternatives.

#6 If there are no Kookis, there is no problem. Might want to think about that before issuing threats, ya ignorant jerks.

#7 Why is there a picture of three aged hippies instead of Afghans?

/snark. I know they are too well armed for hippies, that's the give-away.
