#1 Why not have some wonk in Washington who knows the paki diplomatic community very well draw up a list of "little incidents" to catch Paki Embassy staff by the short hairs....like picking up the ambassadors poodle when its taken for a stroll in Rock Creek Park as a "nuisance" and having it euthanized by the Park Police about an hour before the Embassy gofer can drop by the pound to rescue the little bugger.

And next week we slash your tires while you are in the Gala at the Kennedy Center. And the week after that when your fat paki wife goes to the Mall someone spills pig intestines in her back seat in the Mall parking garage.

How many paki diplomatic personnel can we get to know real well in about twenty Embassies all over the world? You want to play? No lasting harm, just nasty nightmares in out of the way places that ruin your shoes and smell for a week even if you do bathe. Unnecessarily mean things that make no sense by any decent assessment. Something to do with vile ( how vile WAS it?) embarrassing stuff (but the goat and I were just friends) delivered to the wrong address and other things that get your luggage sent to somewhere in the Andes.
And of course there is the possibility that the Ambassador has a daughter who does drugs. She doesnt? Well, get her some anyway ....and then film it.

#2 Right, Dribble. And then I suppose we escalate to TPing the embassy.

#3 How about the ol' "burning bag of dog poo on the front porch" trick? That'll drive the point home.

#4 How about asking the Indians if they'd be interested in leasing us a long-term naval/air base in the Bay of Bengal area?

#5 I kinda like Dribble's idea but I don't believe our State Department has enough imagination to pull it off.

#6 While emotionally satisfying, we don't want to start petty harassment of diplomatic personnel here in the U.S. That sort of thing could create problems for U.S. diplomatic personnel elsewhere.

We could, however, let a minor State Department flunky issue some statement about our solidarity with the Indian government over Kashmir...

#7 There is only one response to this breach and that is the Genghis Khan response, you go to war.
First pull all embassy staff from Pakistan, then expel all Pakistan staff from the USA. Give them 10 days to hand over Davies, if they don't you shock and awe them, until they are back in the stone age. Then tell India to do whatever it wants with Pakistan.
If you don't you are tempting every other country to pull the same trick on you.
