#3 I see that Khar is about 30 km NNE of Peshawar but where is Jaar?

I see Khar is about 20 km North of Hwy 5, The direct road from Peshawar to Rawalpindi.

#4 Radical islam isn't wasting time, aren't they, wid the US-Allies + UNO attention now being diverted to the RUSSO-GEORGIAN CONFLICT.

Pragmatically, RUSS-ONLY VIEWPOINT/SCOPE > ON ONE GEOGRAPHIC HORN, IT HAS THE ISLAMIST "SURGES" IN THE CASPIAN-BLACK SEA REGION = FORMER SSRS; + LOOMING ISLAMIST PROTO-SURGES AGZ RUSS URALS/CAUCASUSIA, CHINA + NORTH ASIA [read - Russ Far East-Siberia, exclusive of Chin interests]. Taken collectively, RadicaL Islam includ IRAN, PAKIIS, etc is carving out a NUCLEARIZING BLOC AGZ THE FORMER SOVIET COLD WAR SPHERE OF INFLUENCE + NOW AGZ CHINA.

* "CHESS/GAMEBOARD" OF RUSS-SPECIFIC GEOPOLITICS + RUSS MILPOL DIALECTICISM > RUSS ONLY VIEWPOINT/SCOPE again > Russ " sees" already Nuclear UNIFIED EUROPE = NATO, + potens CHINESE designs as per CENTRAL-EASTERN RUSSIA e.g. YAKUTIA-SIBERIA, + now proto-Nuclear RADICAL ISLAM = ASIAN ISLAMISM, + any NUCLEAR-AMBITIONS REGIONAL INDEPENDENTS.. IMO, Russia's Viewpoint > it may be thinking it must take Milactions now just to ensure its LT survival becuz, in reality, IT DOUBTS ITS OWN ABILITY TO MODERNIZE IN TIME TO DEFEND AND PREVAIL AGZ THE ABOVE PERCEIVED NUCLEAR THREATS.

THE BORSCH OF THE MATTER > IS RUSS "HEDGING", i.e. RELUCTANTLY BUT COVERTLY INDIC IT MAY NEED EUROPE'S MIL PROTECTION IN THE FUTURE, PERHAPS EVEN TO JOIN EUROPE IN CASE OF NATIONAL COLLAPSE AGZ THE ABOVE THREATS??? IS RUSSIA BEING OVERTLY MIL AGGRESSIVE AS DENIABLE COVER FOR ANTICIPATED FUTURE NATIONAL FAILURE???
