#3 Hint. Bush some more troops in Afghanistan would be nice too.

Hint: If certain NATO countries met their treaty obligations, it wouldn't be necessary.

#4 Quetta - surely one place on earth that needs a day or two of 'shock and awe' .We know where you are , to the square metre - end it , ffs .
Us Brits and Yanks are detested over there to the highest degree, there is no higher degree of hate that what these folk seep out of every pore . So in my view relations couldnt deteriate any more . Screw them over bigtime , watch the seething and get over the insecurities . Deal with it , sheesh .
One thing I learnt in a long stay in Kashmir and around that region is , memories are short , because living is dismal , and its on a day to day basis . The locals have a short memory IF you take away fear . Basically locals havent got time to seethe , they need food more . If not supplied , any blame is better than non . Talibunnies thrive on this , and enhance it to their own ends .. Simple psychology , for a simple folk .. Dont bog them down with world politics .
Certain sections of Quetta need to burn like Dresden . Perv knows this , and so does the west .
