#1 Wind -> whirlwind.

Wonder when the Pakis will begin to regret turning their country into a terrorist factory? I think it may not take TOO much longer.

#2 Pardon for stating the obvious, but this is Mumbai II. Only worse...

The terrs targeted the very police who are in charge of hunting them down. The message is obvious- don't interfere, and you won't be targeted.

India should be very worried about this. If these crazies can turn their backs on the Pak security forces because such forces fear retribution, India will be the big loser. Western targets are also affected.

*sigh*

#5 Things could get much worse. If Pakistan had a conflict as intense as the Algerian civil war of the 1990s, the casualties would be thousands (or more) each month (they are probably in the low hundreds per month now).

#8 Actually, the Punjabi majority has the nukes, etc. We can't win without playing the Punjabi card. Pashtos are the enemy, and - yes - the Afghan leader is a Pashto.

#9 I think the Punjabi jihadi groups would consider themselves our enemy, too. They just want to conduct that war after they gain control of the government's nuclear weapons and take over Pakistan, not before.
