Someone blew up the indian embassy in kabul yesterday killing many indians among the 41 dead. In the middle of the afgan civil war is al quaeda/pashtun terrorism. This is quite different than the last go-round with the taliban when it was more of a civil war with taliban receiving help from al queda. The Pashtuns are looking to take afganistan. I know south wahiristan is part of pakistan whose policy is not war with afgainistan but this small part of pakistan is pursuing war and that war needs to be brought to their doorstep if only to deter them from these dastardly acts.

No, it isn't. But it at least makes sense. Only to the extent that OBL is thought to be there. Other than that, it's a hornet's nest as bad as Afghanistan. If pressure is maintained on the north with the help of the Pakistani government OBL can be contained. Not the feel_good_revenge_sexy solution, but it works. The other comes with lots of unknowns and probable unintended consequences. Bombings like the one in Instanbul will not be stopped as long as there are people on other side willing to die for their "cause" whatever that might be. Al
