India-Pakistan
Indo-Pak End-Game In Afghanistan
2013-08-17
Even the high toned Friday Times sometimes gets lost in the special Pakistani paranoia weeds.
[FridayTimes] Since the execution of Afzal Guru in February this year, Kashmire has frequently boiled over into violent festivities between citizens/hard boyz and Indian security forces. In March, 5 coppers were killed by bad turbans. In May, 4 soldiers were rubbed out. In June, 8 soldiers perished in an ambush. In return, Hindu mobs, egged on by paramilitary forces, have attacked worshippers at Eid prayers; and India's paramilitary forces have desecrated the Koran, provoked outrage and killed protestors. Unprecedented Shia-Sunni conflict has also erupted in Kashmire, leaving scores maimed.

Parallel with Kashmire unrest, India and Pakistain have also heated up the Line of Control. On January 6, Indian forces killed one Pak soldier. On January 8, Pak forces killed two Indian soldiers. On February 15, one Pak soldier was killed. In July, another Pak soldier was killed. On August 5, five Indian soldiers were killed. Since then, both sides have been relentlessly shelling each other.

Across the western border with Afghanistan, on August 3, a title='suicide bomber'>jacket wallah attacked the Indian Consulate in Jalalabad and killed innocent bystanders. Similar attacks on Indian "assets" in Kabul occurred in 2008, 2009 and 2010, and India has always accused Pak "assets" like the Haqqani Group of attacking them.

#4  Pak is the symptom of the disease, but not the disease source. Follow the money. Who finances the thousands of madrassas? Who were the graduates of said institutions and what did they do?

How does such a backward country exist without help? Who finances their nukes?

We have seen the elephant in the room and we are ignoring it and dealing with cockroaches.

Is this by design or stupidity and ignorance, or both?

#3  We need to realise that Pakistan IS the main troublemaker in the region.

I don't think this is quite right. Pakistan is just a pile of dirt & rocks. It is the philosophy/religion prevalent among the inhabitants that is the troublemaker.

Islam in all its various varieties is a blood-thirsty roadmap to conquer and enslave everyone including other Islam loving fanatics (see MoBro v. Salafists in 'gypt).

This hate filled effluent needs to be purged from civilization.

Our one saving grace is that Islam also breeds and rewards incompetence on the grand scale.

#2  Pak will want Taliban back in charge and send their jihadis in to make this action.

Once the West leave the bomb attacks in India will start again.

We need to realise that Pakistan IS the main troublemaker in the region.

We need to support India and Afghanistan going forward not Pakistan in future.
