It's time we just carpet bombed Pakistan and got done with the WOT. If we just laid Pakistan to waste, all the terror problems the world has in South Asia will be solved automatically.

Serial blasts in Bangalore, casualties reported, AFP via Google (no real details yet, it’s mostly flash traffic on the net...)

As for your point of carpet bombing Pakistan, most of the hijackers on 9/11 came from Saudi Arabia, along with Osama.

All of whom had some connection with Pakistan - trained there. Its also no accident that Osama is believed to be in Pakistan and the majority of the troops the US lost last month were murdered by people coming from Pakistan.

I am confused - why would terrorists bomb their own “territory”? Or is this an area of Pakistan that is somewhat westernized and not getting with their jihad program?
