| #7 Once again, TOPIX/WORLD NEWS > {Pak Tribune] PAKISTAN'S RUSH FOR MORE [nuclear] BOMBS - WHY? Political Jihad = Election, Govt-sharing-happy Radical Islam should no doubt be happy iff Pakistan expands its nuclear arsenal for any reason. Also, IIRC DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > US INTEL: INDIA PREPARING FOR LIMITED CONFLICT WID CHINA. Pragmatically, any new SINO-INDIAN WAR will prolly be end outcome of antecendent AFGHAN-PAK or INDO-PAK WAR; or in altern a US-IRAN WAR as Iran has said it has no qualms using the sovereign territories of its neighbors as staging areas for asymmetric anti-US attacks, + wid or widout the consent of their neighbors' Govts. IOW, THE SCENARIO EXISTS THAT A US-IRAN WAR MAY GO NUKULAAR WIDOUT IRAN PER SE NECESSAR HAVING TO HAVE ANY NUKES. |

| #3 Had the US wanted a different outcome, it would have used a little extra effort at the very start to set up a new form of government, with an American administrator, MacArthur constitution, and trained every available orphan child with a secular upbringing in boarding schools, to be the next generation of leaders, with no tribal affiliations. This would have affirmed the superior nature of the western world, and made Afghanistan permanently separate and apart from Pakistan, once we had closed the border between the two. Putting Karzai in charge was as stupid as if we had put one of Saddam's Sunni lieutenants in charge of Iraq. Afghanistan would have been far easier to fix because unlike Iraq, it had nothing. No government, no assets, few people left, miniscule wages, and no law only chaos. A 'tabula rasa', a blank slate, we could have rebuilt in any way we chose. Instead, we tried to recreate their cluster-f*** of a failed semi-government tribal system that is even inferior to a royal government. A castle built of dog crap with a president who has no power beyond its stinky gates. |

| #2 Does it really take some big, long, expensive report to figure out that these barbarians will revert to their old ways as soon as US troops leave? |
