I hate to say it but situations like this bring out the worst in mankind. Vlad the impaler knew how to deal with the turks. 20,000 impaled soldiers in a forest of the impaled tend leave a deep impression. It shook up the muslims and they left him alone for a while.

There is also this story: “Once, two ambassadors from the Sultan came with a message for Vlad. When they entered his throne room, he asked them to remove their turbans. It was considered rude to address the prince without taking off one’s hat. The Turks, however, took exception to this request. For one thing, Vlad and the Sultan where not on good terms, so insulting him really didn’t seem to matter, and just as importantly, the turbans were not just headgear, they were a symbol of the Muslim religion. The Turks refused, not knowing just how serious a mistake it was to insult Vlad. Vlad immediately ordered his guards to seize them, and then stated that if they were so unwilling to part with the turbans, that they should be nailed to their heads. Vlad then watched in satisfaction as the Turks writhed and screamed as nails were driven into their skulls. The envoys were sent back to the sultan. “

So Pakistan has two choices - get brutal or cave and cut another deal.

However, Musharraf can also use the turbulence to convince Washington, his key backer, that he remains a vital bulwark against extremists in the Islamic world's only declared nuclear state.

Only if he does something effective. Words aren't going to cut it, only deeds. Not trying, doing.

However the recent events at the Red Mosque in Islamabad are encouraging.

So kill even more of the terrorists. Just keep killing them until they top what they’re doing, or until they’re all dead, whichever comes first.
