If this was the era of the British Empire, the madrassas would have been burned to the ground already. Is this post-imperial world supposed to be better?

The reality of a WOT against 1.2 billion Muslims starts to sink in. There are 150 million people in Pakistan, most of them young.

China is waiting in the wings.

Release the football thugs!

I don't know what Musharraf's secret thoughts are but it seems that the guy has a tough job and is doing the best that he can, between assasination attempts. I have no doubt that he is tougher on islamists than us or the Brits.

If our safety is in the hands of Pakistan, we're in one Helluva shape.

We've also got 1 billion Indians who would love to smackdown the Pakis.

"It is now clear that the West's courtship of General Musharraf is in deep trouble. "

I'll believe that when I see it.

There's a simple solution to the problem of Pakistani influence on British youth: only give visas for trips to Pakistan to business people. Keep young students out of Pakistan and they won't return as bombers. Tony is a courageous man but he tends to overcomplicate some of these issues in his attempts to keep everyone happy.

Pakistan was a terrible idea in 1948, and it has not aged well.
