Or, someday soon, we'll hunt them with dogs. No license. No bag limit.

This might be of interest; I sure wish Zerohedge would put a link to its excerpts, I want the straight stuff. Some of the ZH opinion stuff is very “out there”. Best is to click the link and read as formatting to make it clear over here is beyond me at the moment. From Monday:

https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-02-18/india-weighs-military-strikes-kashmir-after-deadliest-terror-attack-30-years?fbclid=IwAR04mQN9_mgnlbKZgbVQt2udMR529JvJApTE1jKxz1nP54vsd9l9E3Ph_IY

India Weighs Military Strikes In Kashmir After Deadliest Terror Attack In 30 Years

After a relative lull that was punctuated by a handful of small terror attacks and military exercises along the line of control in divided Kashmir in 2018, tensions between South Asia’s two nuclear armed neighbors - India and Pakistan - are escalating once again in the wake of a suicide car bombing that killed 44 Indian paramilitary police officers in the restive border region, the deadliest attack in the three decades of insurgency in Kashmir.

According to the Financial Times, the relationship between the neighboring countries grew increasingly strained over the weekend as India contemplated a military response to the attack, carried out by Pakistani terrorist group Jaish e-Mohammad, a group that India believes has long had at least the tacit support of the Pakistani military. In a sign that the region could be headed for a reemergence of the tit-for-tat attacks that punctuated the early years of the administration of Indian Prime Minister Nahrendra Modi, India stripped Pakistan of its most favored nation status after the attack, leading to an immediate 200% tariff hike.

Already, Indian military sources told the FT that Modi - who is facing a close election in the coming months, and is likely seeking to burnish his hardline Hindu nationalist credentials - is considering whether to order “stand off” strikes that would involve deploying fighter jets to fire missiles into the Pakistani-controlled side of Kashmir, as Modi has vowed to “avenge every tear” shed after last week’s attack. Analysts have said he will be feeling pressure to push for a military response.

What's wrong with properly directed violence?

The non-violence conspiracy theorists claim all violence is bad, yet believe that government sponsored violence is good.
