It is bloody difficult for a Westerner to keep up with the news in South Asia because the whole region because the whole damn region is constantly in flux.
This is especially true of the historic invasion route currently under the control of its own people, that calls itself Pakistan.
Get this through your fucking heads; Pakistan is an invasion route and the people who live on it for the last 62 years, for the first time in 6000 years control their own land.
In the past when somebody wanted to the use the land currently called Pakistan, they would simply conquer it. This is no longer possible. This is why they hate it. This is why events happen there at an unbelievably fast fucking rate and I have to use BBC News and Google News every day to keep up with whats going down.
In da West, you can fall asleep and wake up six months later and nothing fundamental has been question. You cant do that in South Asia.
This Mansoor Ijaz character claims to have "mediated" a peace deal in Autumn 2000. WTF? What peace? There was no chance for peace until Mushi started talking to the Indian side. This guy sounds like he's touching on just the really big things (like the Mumbai hit on India's upper class hangouts which made them go whine whine on the internets) and isnt looking at the situation within the valley itself which was loud a few moments ago and now looks like it is blowing up again.
This Mansoor Ejaz is some Indian Muslim sucking up to his American editor. He just wants to sound important.
This bugger also uses the "OMG OMG Musliiiiiiiiiimssss with Beeeeaaaaaaaarrrddddsss!!!!!
1ZOMG" attitude. His article is riddled with the "Be Wevy Wevy Scawed of Muslims" (Elmer Fudd) vibe
And he's got his trends wrong. Talibanisation is going to be going down. Its a dumbass ideology that is going to sink, sink, sink. We're already looking for an exit plan in Swat for the Army so that the police can take over.
