#1 fighter jets flew low over three major cities in Pakistan

There are reports from India's Gujarat state of people being woken from sleep by earth tremors.
It seems the Indian air force is practicing massive bombing at one of their ranges there.

#2 Gujarat borders Pakistan, so I assume that some Pakistanis are being woken from sleep too. Punctuates the flyover message nicely.

#5 Anyone care to venture a guess at the odds that Pakistan can give just enough concessions to avoid massive destruction from India?

#6 OK, so I'm a contrarian, but does anyone else think it's slightly odd that one of the bunch surrendered so easily and is so anxious to blame Pak? I'm getting just a hint of "let's you and him fight."

#7 85-15 against war.

#9 That was the whole point of last week's "taliban" attacks on the trucks supplying US-NATO.

#10 Yeah, the whole purpose of the Mumbai terroist attack was to incite war between India and Pakistan, and thus close the NATO supply line through the Khyber Pass.
