Nawaz govt responsible for loss of life, property *Militant group warns foreign firms to leave Pakistan.

PESHAWAR, Pakistan – The Taliban on Monday warned foreign firms to leave Pakistan and vowed retaliatory strikes against the government after the Pakistan Army launched a long-awaited offensive in a tribal area.

The statement came as Pakistan's major cities braced for a backlash by deploying thousands of soldiers and paramilitaries while placing hospitals on high alert for incoming casualties.

“We warn all foreign investors, airlines and multinational corporations that they should immediately suspend their ongoing matters with Pakistan and prepare to leave Pakistan, otherwise they will be responsible for their own loss,” spokesman Shahidullah Shahid said in a statement. “This thing is clear to all that the capital gained (by Pakistan) through your activities and trade falls on innocent tribal women and children like fire and iron,” he added.....

I wonder how much hostility would continue to emit from the Middle East if India would simply render Pakistan a glowing wasteland.

I think a lot of the less insane Islamic governments are getting really tired of the terrorist murderers. Time of a turnaround.

India will win that confrontation, hands down, and they can afford to lose five times the amount that Pakistan would lose as far as casualties.

Things will remain dysfunctional in that region as long as they insist on the dysfunctional religion. The “less crazy” groups are fighting with one hand tied behind their backs in that situation, and can only escape a small distance from the “more crazy” terrorists before everything recycles.

That region will continue to be a social and economic basket case until this situation changes.

It’s business, not personal
When the terrorist are bad for business, then the “sane” governments take care of them - and vice versa
That’s why the larger terrorist organizations are becoming supranational commercial enterprises
Not unique to muslims, look at Mexico
Question is whether and when they link up, globally
