Pakistan has vowed no more "business as usual" with the US after NATO strikes killed 24 Pakistani soldiers. NATO and the US had sought to limit the fallout of Saturday's attack as Pakistan shut vital supply routes to the 140,000 foreign troops serving in Afghanistan. The spokesman for Pakistan's military, General Athar Abbas, talks to Annette Young where he confirms ties with NATO are under review, but says he does not see a complete break since far too much is at stake.

Beats me why the 'west' does not step away from these centres of dispute, to put it very mildly, and let the combatants scrap over their barren territories until they either see some sort of rationality, or wipe each other out.

Then the 'west' can step in, clean up the mess left, and set in place a regulated and SECULAR democracy,

It may take a decade or two, but at least our people would not be getting slaughtered by roadside bombs and snipers bullets.

Once it had all settled down, maybe these poisonous regions and their peoples would seek to embrace what we have on offer, and be grateful. Islam allowing that is.
