#1 Just what Packland needs, another missle, when their real enemy, the Jiihad mentality, lies within. Pakland is a country with intercontinental nuclear missile ambitions, and a political situation held together with baling wire. Now THAT'S a model for stability.

#6 One side believes in martyrdom, the other in reincarnation. At least that would separate them for good.
