According to US Defence Secretary Robert Gates Al-Qaeda is trying to provoke war between India and Pakistan, to destabilise the whole of South Asia.
Mr Gates praised his hosts for the restraint shown by India in the aftermath of the Mumbai (Bombay) massacre in November 2008.
He went on to say "It is not unreasonable to assume Indian patience would be limited were there another attack."
A wise man would have urged restraint.
A war monger would not find war as "unreasonable".
Who wants to destablise the region?
How many deadly massacres have taken place in Pakistan?
Who is responsible?
Is Iraq any safer or better after years of US occupation? No.
Is Afghanistan any safer or better after years of US occupation? No.
This is because the occupation forces are NOT interested in reconcilation between the citizens of those countries but dividing them.
