Kashmiri militants, with their spectacular suicide attacks on the Indian Parliament in December and an Indian Army base on May 14, have brought the world closer to nuclear war than perhaps at any time in 40 years.

Well, except maybe the leaking of advanced nuclear weapons technology to China, which scared India into reigniting their weapons program, which scared Pakistan into demonstrating theirs. This was only stopped when the U.S. and Russia threatened to end any nuclear war between India and Pakistan.

And now the plea is that even the "powerful ISI" is incapable of controlling these terrorists? Note the general's "we" in "We don't have a choice..."!

It would appear that the only way to deal with Islamic extremists is to kill them.

“We will continue to fight,” says Atif. “God always creates ways for us.”

This sort of thing is high-octane fodder for those who believe that to be a Muslim is to be completely off your rocker, round the bend, froot-loopy.

In a showdown between India and Pakistan, which these "guerrillas" are trying to precipitate, Pakistan would be destroyed. So either the "gurerillas" are sub-imbecile defective, or they are knowingly working to bring about the destruction of a country of millions.

Either way, it doesn't speak well for the "guerrillas." Can't America find allies in the region that are within hailing distance of sanity and possess at least the brains God gave a flea?

Freedom, Wealth, and Peace,
