#3 Let a thousand Swats bloom. Let tens of millions of Muslims have the joy of living in an Islamic Paradise on Earth.

#5 My thought exactly, tu. We're told the general way in that part of the world is to back the strong horse or risk the consequences, but if the people actually showed some balls and stood up for their own interests instead of being cowed and bullied by the Meanest Thugs In Town, we wouldn't all have to endure the consequences. If they're not prepared to take a principled stand against the Taliban they are all our enemy.

Islam: making gutlessness a way of life.

#6 PAKISTANI DEFENCE FORUM > THE TALIBAN HAVE A HIT LIST.

Posters - Pakistan has likely already lost SWAT, and may lose the NWFP per se to the Talibs.

* ALso, ISRAELI MIL FORUM > PAKISTANI TALIBAN TELL MORE THAN 50 [SWAT Valley]OFFICIALS - COME TO SHARIA COURT [submit to Clerical Law/Rule]OR BE HUNTED DOWN.

DEATH BY SHARIA, DEATH BY DEATH SQUAD, or DEATH BY SHARIA AND DEATH SQUAD.

* STAR TREK > DR.MUDD ["Mudd's Women"] - THE KEY WORD YOU'RE DESCRIBING, MR. SPOCK, IS "DEATH".
