Pakistan's Musharraf to resign as president
Here's the deal. *It is what it is. *American foreign policy gets instituted
and we get into the cause-and-effect thingy. *Americans generally don't have a good idea as to how they are perceived by "furriners". *I imagine most Americans don't care or would tend to think that the "furriner" thinking is wrong. *Generally speaking, the Pakistanis hate you. *However, most (conservative) Americans would like to believe that they ("the Pakis") are all lining up for Green Cards to run 7/11s in Michigan. They'd also line up in Sangatte if they can, it's got nothing to do with trivial local political sensibilities, or whether they like you or not. Their mindset is that of the dust bowl, survive. Read Steinbeck or live in a place you can't even trust your drinking water.for a while. Is it any wonder the world is in the state it is? I assume you are thinking it is in a sad state? |

"tankfixer" wrote in message ... In article , says... "tankfixer" wrote in message . .. In article , says... "Zombywoof" wrote in message ... Perhaps one day they will simply Nuke each other & be done with it. Except the Pakistanis can't hit anything south of Delhi. Which means that they can't hit the huge Indian bases in Maharashtra and Goa, which means they're stuffed, and, chances are, India gets reunified... They can't hit those bases with normal means of delivery. They can't hit them with nukes. IIRC Goa is a major seaport. Should be easy to get one there. Goa is an Indian state with a population in millions. There in a major Indian navy fleet base in Goa, but somehow I doubt the ability of the Pakistani armed forces to smuggle an atomic bomb into it. In any case it's not the only major base the Indian navy has on that coast, there's the huge one in Bombay. -- William Black I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.

The first is, the bombing(s) of a wedding party was a terrible error. Given. The Americans don't bomb innocent civilians intentionally. Not an error. Merely an unfortunate confluence of events. Jack |
