#1 Pakis have never stopped buying bin Laden dolls and celebratory plastic sculptures of the Twin Towers on fire. Also, al-Qaeda, etc casettes and t-Shirts are sold everywhere. The post 9-11 alliance with the US has enriched Pakistanis, but has not led to anything but good relations between Pak elites and the US government. PEW polls repeatedly find 90% Paki hate for Americans. Unfortunatlely for Pakis, Americans have more allies in Afghanistan than do their Muslim neighbors, who are popular only in Pashto centers. NATO could play ethnic cards and will if terrorism escalates.

Again, jihad terror incitement must be criminalized. Muslims should not be allowed to promote terror in mosques in Boston, or Kandahar, when doing so puts Western Civilization at risk.

#2 Time to give Afghanistan access to the sea via an independant Baluchistan. I love it when the pieces fit together.

#3 Balochs are NOT afghans and in fact have often fought the "real" Afghans (until around 1925, Afghan designated only the Pashtouns). But I agree it is time to cause the implosion of Pakistan, a state whose only cement is Islam and thus needs to incite hate against non-Muslims in order to prevent Afghans, Balochs and Sindhs from seceeding.
