#6 I think the Kashmir problem is just a symptom of Pakland as a problem, just like Afghanistan is. If Iran wasn't a power in its own right, they'd have more of a problem oozing over from Balochistan, too. As it is, it's mostly drugs, banditti, white slavers, and other undesirables. Pakistan was lucky in that when 9-11 happened there was no other way to get into Afghanistan. That set the stage for them to be our "best friends" in the area. We needed their help, and we phrased the request in sufficiently hair-raising terms that they knew they were gonna get it with Afghanistan if they didn't give it.
We've been pointing out their two-faced ways and mocking their ignorance and brutality here for a year and a half. Using only open-source information, anybody who reads these pages regularly can come to no other conclusion than that Pakistan promotes terrorism not only within Kashmir and India proper, but also in Afghanistan, and also world-wide. Everywhere there are atrocities to be found, Pak thugs are to be found. Imagine what picture the intel reports must be painting.
I think India's taking our "one step at a time" approach as ignoring the Pak problem. The Paks aren't. They're scared to death they're next on the list (they're not - Syria is - but they're on the list). With each successful move against the terror machine, the subsequent moves become easier - look at today's Rantburg headline and yesterday's. The countries on the list have the opportunity to reform, to become what they pretend to be instead of what they really are. Iran's making steps in that direction, Syria's sticking its chin out and screaming "hit me." The Pak fundos are doing the same thing, even while Perv is smart enough to realize that if they don't stop, they're going to get whacked.
The fundo world is still counting on the mighty ummah to come to the defense of these Islamic hellholes. Mullah Omar called for jihad to save his regime, and it didn't work. Sammy called for jihad to save his regime, and it didn't work. All it got them was Pak gunnies to be slaughtered in the first case, Syrian gunnies in the second case. We took Afghanistan in a month, Iraq in three weeks. When it's Syria's turn in the barrel it'll take two weeks. Eventually, it'll sink through the dense Islamic bone that when they're in the sights, the regime's going to come down, so it'll be better to reform than to be reformed.
Pakland's disadvantage is being an Islamic state populated by primitives. But their turn will come on the list. It'll be complicated by their nukes, but they'll be dealt with. I also have to qualify that by saying that they'll get their turn on the list if Hafiz Saeed doesn't manage to set off a nuclear war between Pak and India before then. If that happens, the place will make a nice, if slightly radioactive, parking lot, and I'm sure India will feel very sorry after it's all over. Civilized people always do when they're forced to do terrible things. |
