Mumbai Fallout

Mumbai attacks open South Asia Pandora's Box for U.S.
"U.S. officials fear the deadly Mumbai attacks could worsen Indo-Pakistani tensions and prompt Pakistan to move forces from its Afghan border toward India, undermining U.S. counterterrorism efforts in Afghanistan."
Almost every day, I wake up and find the world has inched a little closer to WWIII. WWII brought about the conditions that led to India's independence and the creation of the two Pakistans. There is some unfinished business in that part of the world, though, and it's hard to see how a country of over a billion people, with over 600 million available for military service, could be defeated.
