#1 A very human story. People are so ready to be sheep-led to slaughter. I first learned this lesson in the sixties on AM radio.

#2 Gosh, it all sounds so...familiar! "You know, the military establishment is flourishing on our revenues. It has consumed our resources, and now it aims to consume the whole of our society in the name of jihad. My problem is, we spend so much of our national budgetary resources on our army, yet it sends young civilian lads to fight in the occupied valley [of Kashmir]. Why donât they wage this âjihadâ themselves..

I'm sure the socialists, communists and affiliates are thinking...HEY! That's our trick! Moving the spot light of self-righteousness pity to another group of The Children(TM) and thus drawing the moths where you want them to be.

#3 The reason the military sends jihadis and not themselves is because they're not dumb whereas the jihadis are idiots. Full military action would lead to a full Indian response, but action by jihadis is discountable.

#4 I suspect that the national treasure of Pakistan is not spent on jihad. Jihad by sparcely outfitted yokels can't be too expensive. The marjority of Pakistan's GNP probably is siphoned off in the graft process at one of the many levels. American military aid probably goes for stockpiled weapons that don't get used. Most of hte cash needed for brainwashing and local oppression probably comes from Saudi Arabia.
