    I'm not so sure. The Talibs are essentially the creation of the Pakistani Secret Service, and there must be very strong links between the two. Not to mention the Pakistanis supporting the muslim militants in Kashmir, which is probably a two way street. Who in the Military supports them - the same people as the Taliban?

    I think things have suddenly got very dangerous for the civilian government...

      What does the US (or "West" if you prefer) do in such an event?

        How about a realistic discussion as to what is going to be the likely outcome/course of events in the near future? Is that too much for you, Oerdin?

          Yeah, it won't happen but it should. The region which created the Taliban should suffer just as the country which created the Nazis suffered. Let huge numbers of them them suffer a horrible death and then the ones who remain won't be so willing to fight for Allah.

          On this I am deadly serious. The group which was part of 9/11 should never be allowed to take over a country with nuclear weapons. Incinerating the whole place with everyone in it is better. Nothing should be off the table. We should never, ever, play around with nukes when it comes to terrorist organizations. Let them all die before they get nukes.

            We should let the Indians off their chain. Shiva knows they're aching for it.

              It's called psychosis. That and the fact that they are incapable of fighting the Taliban since the majority of their people agree with the Taliban. Nuking is to good for them. It should be made clear that they either fight or we'll kill them. Make sure they know their choices are bad or catastrophic. Then see what they decide. If they choose wrong then, no problem, they get to become the world's largest class factory.

              My guess is with a gun to their head they'll agree to grab their balls and fight since they're completely unable to do so without other motivation.

                Doubt it. The Indians are a democracy which means they hate war. It would be better to have India invade while the US turns Pakistan into a radioactive wasteland as a monument to what happens to Islamic fanatics.

                  On the upside nuking Pakistan would solve the problem in Afghanistan since most of the Taliban are Pakistanis. Incinerating Taliban.

                  Let's face it. They are the enemy and always have been so let them die in a fiery inferno. Then they can decide if they want to keep breathing or continue supporting Islamic terrorism.

                    Germany was never nuked...

                    Also the vast majority of the population of this country is completely innocent and just trying to get on with their lives.

                    You Yanks are seriously ****ed in the head, if you think the 'final solution' is to nuke countless numbers of innocent people because of a minority of crazy nutjobs - er, just like you're sounding...

                    The group which was part of 9/11
                    Then nuke Saudi Arabia!

                    ...should never be allowed to take over a country with nuclear weapons. Incinerating the whole place with everyone in it is better. Nothing should be off the table.

                    You have finally lost the plot!

                    Let's nuke Oerdin before he gets nuclear weapons!

                        Germany wasn't nuked but its cities were destroyed all the same. Does it really matter if they're destroyed by one bomb or a million? The result is the same.

                              Hold up, folks. 70 miles from Islamabad is close, but even Kabul is only a couple hundred miles from Islamabad. The Afghanistan border is, what, 100 miles from Islamabad?
                              I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

                                About 125 miles as the crow flies - so they're already almost halfway there!
