#1 As the article says, past efforts have failed.

I suggest mass Islamocide.

Lowers the recidivism rate.

#2 Forget about the sectarian violence how about action against organisations/clerics who openly spew hatred against the West!!!!

#5 Yep, time to ally with India and do a pincher movement - US troops from the west, Indian troops from the east, meet in Karachi for the victory celebration. Take out the ENTIRE NWFP and give India full authority over Kashmir. Split the rest of the country between India and Afghanistan, with Afghanistan getting Balouchistan and everything west of the Indus river, India getting everything east of the Indus. Pakistan becomes a "former nation". Then India can start paying more attention to Bangladesh.

#6 They might get somewhere if their list began with the ISI. Until then, it's all window dressing.

#7 Comment No 5.
Keep fantasizing. Pakistan will continue to be a source of consternation - how do they get away with it. Why not look at the source of the funding and wahhabi preaching i.e Saudi. Do they have too much investment in US, too much oil. Deal with the root cause not a poor third world country.
