File under: Pak Taliban (TTP)

#1 The TTP see Tak Usmani as a lap dog of Arabs. Wali Mehsud is a pashtun from Waziristan. Not as much a scholar as a fighter. Usmani has clearly been sent to appeal to their mutual moslemnity.

But the rights which run deep in the very fabric of their society, those cannot be overcome by eye-slam alone. For decades, the pashtun was treated like a menial labourer, his women for prostitution in Karachi and Lahore. The predominantly punjabi leadership of Pakistain, both military and civil, are now trying to contain the taliban's coming revenge. These people do not forget. You can't appeal to them in Allan's name and hope for them to play ball. They are getting their own 'tranches' now, and China doesn't need 'slamabad as middleman because they have been assured Taliban cooperation. Even if they do make some kind of apparent peace with 'slamabad, it'll be only so they can stab them up close. And they should.

#4 Sorry, folks. It's a kind of withdrawal maybe. Drugs, all week. And sugar. Alcohol too.

#5 Deep breath, my dear. Perhaps some soothing chamomile tea? Valerian, if you want the big guns... Chai — as we in the West call that wonderful concoction simmered with milk and warm spices to differentiate from the simple brewed version we’re accustomed to — is stimulating rather than soothing, I’d think.
