"How long we are going to tolerate this. Don't we need to defend ourselves"

Yes you do. But you need to take bold steps like the America and Israel are taking to hunt down the terrorist in their own safe heavan terrotories.

Just don't keep yelling.

is this war about religion too?

Greeeeaaaaat. Two nulcear powers with some really bad blood in their history have picked a pretty bad time to start rattling their sabres at each other (once again). It's amazing that there haven't been more frightening world-wide events in the wake of 9-11 thus far, especially with the number of hawks running around, myself included (thanks again, president Bush). However... we're just one small misunderstanding, one mistake, one wild-eyed activist away from some real ugliness.

You have to wonder if Musharaf would welcome a limited conventional incursion into Kashmir to create a skirmish with India. This could potentially create cohesion within his own country by re-establishing the external enemy (India) as the bigger threat than any actions taking place in Afghanistan. Perhaps there would be less fundamentalist pressure on him concerning his relationship with the US.

Another FR first. This was reported by Maquiladora on 11-02-01 on this thread "http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/fr/562401/posts" from Orbat.com.

Ok, lets say that the Paks and the Indians get into it. We have forces stationed in Pakistan. How is all of this going to work out for us?

I wonder if the Tamil Tigers will also become opportunists, and India will have an escalation on two fronts. I say, let's support India, screw Pakistan.

Maximum support for Indians. These pakis forced us to slow down the attack on Afghanistan because they didn't like the composition of the new govt. Since when did a fourth-world country start getting imperial dreams of a satellite state? Indians like us fight muslims out of necessity.
