I wish we bought ALL our low-cost stuff from India instead of China!
I’d feel better if WalMart was full of goods from India instead of the melamine capitol.
There is an interesting option here. The U.S. could broker a deal (not that OBAMA could) that would allow U.S. “peacekeepers” into the disputed region in the East, provided the Paks also allow us access to the terrorist region in the west to snuff out the threat :)
That's not quite true.
India has its own PC, largely built around the facts of, what, three and a half wars with Pakistan over the last 60 years, and the fact that Moslem wazirs and emirs during the Middle Ages wouldn't get out of bed on a day when they didn't feel up to killing 20,000 Hindus. Over a period of five or six hundred years, they rolled up a death toll of Hindus numbered in the millions.
We don't know who these new players are, and how they're plugged into the international networks distributing military explosives and weapons. We need time to figure out who is trying to push India's buttons.
My own guess is, it's an al-Q'aeda operation aimed at provoking India into open warfare against the Paks, in order to fade the Paki government heat on the Waziristans and destabilize the new government, possibly causing its downfall and the accession of the Islamofascists to state power at last, and ownership of the Paki arsenal.
The Islamofascists have done ops like this before, trying to start wars involving Pakistan and India, with operations in Kashmir and urban attacks (Delhi -- the national assembly, reminscent of the FARC raid on the Bogota Supreme Court Building years ago -- and Bombay train-bombs a couple of years ago, and one or two other outrages).
Well, first 0bama would sit down (without preconditions) and seek to understand the misunderstand militants and then promptly blame everyone but the Islamists.
Yep. Then he would ask what green measures we can take to make life easier for them.
Doen’t India have a large Muslim population itself? The problem IS muslims world wide and it won’t be solved until islam is destoyed like the pig it is.
And, in this case, the analysis was correct. Stratfor, though, isn't "media" -- they're a for hire international intelligence analysis source. If they don't get it right, they don't earn their fee.
You can give their reporting and analysis significantly more credibility than you might to some jakeleg outfit like, say, the New York Times.
