No to Bharat on Bharat on Saeed

Pakistan has shot down Bharati (aka Indian) requests to reign in, arrest and incarcerate Jamat Ud Dawah lead Seed, who is very popular in Pakistan. Saeed is an avowed Anti-Indian.

President Hamid Karzai, already wary of Americans, and their propensity for panache and “shock and awe”. He is disgusted by the role played by the US and Bharat (aka India) during the last elections–where both had pretty much tried to send him back home.

There should be a united front with Turkey, Iran and Saudi Arabia. A Volunteer Corp should be built to respond to Pakistanphobic and islamphobic [...]
