The Indian Subcontinent
The Indian subcontinent holds great potential and peril. On the one hand India is charging ahead right behind China towards economic and military strength. But some of the world's greatest dangers coexist in the region, especially the dangerous intersection of jehad and nukes in neighboring Pakistan.
- Pakistan Serves the US Heads, Not Tales - The "Front-Line Ally in the War on Terror" continues to play games in its "cooperation" with the US. At this rate, with the US never being able to wipe out the Al Qaeda threat from Pakistan, and Pakistan will continue to reap the billions in reward for its cooperation, much of the aid headed towards the Pakistani military which itself sponsors the jehadis (Syed Saleem Shahzad, Asia Times, August 2004).
- US Gets Cosy With Taliban's Point Man - If Iraq is not going exactly to American script, Afghanistan is even further from the original goals laid out after 9/11. The Taliban has undue control over the future of Afghanistan, and their Islamist masters in Pakistan are deftly pulling the strings. As a result, the United States is in tough, secret negotiations with one of the Pakistani mentors of the Taliban.
