#2 What is the reason for the revenge attacks? I don't imagine that Pakistan imports much tooth paste or dog food.

#5 John, why would they think that? And would the Chinese conduct their own revenge attacks?

#6 Jonathan, prior to smackdown the Lal punks kidnapped some local Chinese chicks as part of a crackdown on "prostitutes". Then 3 Chinese workers were killed in cold blood. The Chicoms don't look kindly on that kind of thing....

#7 J: And would the Chinese conduct their own revenge attacks?

Contrary to Hollywood movies, it's not easy for small teams of people to wreak havoc in hostile territory. At least while getting back alive. 9/11 showed that it was possible to do so if the people involved weren't too concerned with getting back alive. Even Mossad assassination teams in Europe who blended in and had large support teams in-country (involving local Jews who volunteered their help) ended up getting arrested for their assassinations of PLO officials in response to the PLO's Munich killings of Israeli athletes.

#8 BTW, the Chinese don't exactly blend in - not in Pakistan.
