#1 Let's not forget that Qazi's-Jihadis got only 10% of the Pak vote, mostly in backwoods' Balochistan and NWFP. Although I would classify 60% of Paks as indoctrinated Islamists, there is a minority which treats the "bearded ones" as a circus which will close soon. Majority opinion in Sindh and Punjab is reflected in an interesting website: www.thefridaytimes.com Pakistanis who access that site would do anything to prevent the jihadis from getting their hands on the nukes. There is also considerable embarassment at the Pashto's slavish deference to anything Arab, even as the Arabs themselves are recognizing the social idiocy which dominates their national lives. I agree with total disengagement, on the let-'em-roam-they'll-come-home principle. In fact, given the MMA's threats against U.S. soldiers, the Kabul-Herat Highway Reconstruction Project ($200,000,000) should be scrapped until the 600 pounds of jihad - ie. Qazi/Rehman - waste away.
