Mumbai

Stratfor on Mumbai here:

By staging an attack the Indian government can't ignore, the Mumbai attackers have set in motion an existential crisis for Pakistan. The reality of Pakistan cannot be transformed, trapped as the country is between the United States and India. Almost every evolution from this point forward benefits Islamists. Strategically, the attack on Mumbai was a precise blow struck to achieve uncertain but favorable political outcomes for the Islamists.

I really hate to say this because I deplore the loss of life but in a really perverse sense I’m almost grateful. It is no secret that I consider the Islamo-fascist threat to be an existential (hate to echo the article but can't think of another word) one. It is my prayer that this will serve as a wake up call to a nation that has become bored/tired of the conflict
