File under: Govt of Iran

#1 The Saudis will pay for any war between US/Israel and Iran.

To win the WOT we also need to help India beat the Pak army.

#2 Not just the Pak Army. Pakistan needs to be redesigned from the ground up, with a lot fewer Pakistanis, in a manner of speaking. Here is an ethnographic map:

http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/middle_east_and_asia/pakistan_ethnic_1973.jpg

Pakistanis East of the Indus river are Punjabi and Sindhi. They are the more "orderly" Pakistanis, who should be the substance of the future Pakistan.

West of the Indus river are the troublemakers.

The best bet would be that Pakistani Baluchistan be split off and combined with Iranian Baluchistan into a new nation, with their income being the port at Gwadar, which is substantial as a major deep water port built by the Chinese, and a good amount of unexploited mineral wealth (that the Iranians currently use in support of their nuclear program, thus depriving them of that).

North of there, Pushtu Pakistan should become part of the new nation of (exclusively Pushtu) southern Afghanistan, with the rather orderly Chitrali people in northern Pakistan becoming part of the new nation of northern Afghanistan.

This would combine disorderly peoples in such a way as to make them more orderly, eliminating much smuggling by eliminating borders, thus making smuggling far less profitable, and it would also reduce Pakistan from an international threat to an ordinary nation, while not empowering the disruptive elements.

Not perfect, which would mean a lot of genocide, but not bad.

#3 Not perfect - Shucks, I was hoping for an easier way to deal with vicious barbarians.
