#1 Well Musharraf should better know that Paki & M.E. culture only understands one language "power". The politest word is a warning shot and the harshest is an F-16 bombing your ass. SO he has gotta step up the presure. Blow up the madresas with terrorists and the others may start heeding to his call. Right now it is not enough use of force that is causing him problems. Man just Napalm the fuckers and they will start listening. And if he is scared to try the figures like Qazi, Fazl and Masood Azhar or Hafiz, they can very conveniently have fatal accidents.(it is all possible, the question is does he have the resolve to do it)

#2 Isn't that why we didn't deactivate all the Trident subs?

#4 Shamzai's still dead, isn't he? Azam Tariq's still dead... It can be done, but slowly, gently, one at at time...

#5 A good counter-proposal would be for the US to propose ALL of the changes that must be made to turn each nation, specifically, in the Arab world to the path of economic success.
Start by printing a billion copies of a large pamphlet, entitled "What is democracy?", that has a long checklist of every truly democratic nation on the planet, and the essential elements of *its* democracy, compared to how *economically* successful that country is. It will be very obvious that laissez-faire democracy, with minimal government interference, is the most profitable.
Then list all the OTHER stuff, the social innovations and advancements, that have made the 1st world nations 1st world. Such as secular public education, free speech, equal rights for *everybody*, religious freedom, and a civilian controlled military.
I'm sure there is lots of other useful information we can put in that pamphlet, that would help their peoples get ahead--once they accept the notion that it will be their people who advance, and not their government that will advance their people.

#6 
alleviate the sense of deprivation in Muslim world. The sense of helplessness and powerlessness
Well, then quit depriving the people, Perv & buddies. We ain't the ones doing it.

We can help you out of this "conflict," Perv baby, but I don't think you'd like it very much.

#7 As somebody mentioned in another thread yesterday, this is the equivalent of returning to England before the time of Chaucer and installing cable TV.

My opinion is the next 100 years are going to suck, especially for them, until these folks are dragged into the 22nd century or killed in mass wars or epidemics.

#8 Now if they would only cut off the *right* 1,000 heads all of these problems would go away.
