Learn from Korea.

Last week Saudi Arabia extradited one Syed Zabiuddin Ansari wanted in connection with the Mumbai attacks in 2008. Apparently this man was directing the terrorists by phone from ISI offices in Pakistan. He says that in 2005 two Pakistanis, Major Abdurrehman and Sajid Mir, had visited India to watch a cricket match between India and Pakistan in Mohali where the then President Pervez Musharraf was an honored guest. So while this Musharraf was enjoying our hospitality, eating our food and drinking our water his filthy people were here reconnoitering India to find the best spots for slaughter. They then roamed Delhi and Mumbai for 2 weeks with passports bearing false names. So how has the Congress answered this attack on our country? By going on " bended knees " to beg for peace talks and trade. Trade with Pakistan is about 1% of our total trade so we can do without it. Global Attitudes Project conducted by the Pew Research Center between 28 March and 13 April 2012 showed that 60% of Pakistanis consider India to be a bigger threat than the Taliban or Al Qaeda. The Congress has started a direct train link with Lahore, allows open access to Pakistani singers and film stars and has now opened another border crossing. While they hysterically accuse Pakistan of arranging the Mumbai attacks they have bared our chest to further attacks. Yet there is a very successful example of how to deal with rabid fanatics and that is the Demilitarized Zone between North and South Korea. Both Pakistan and North Korea are nuclear armed nations but whereas Pakistan pretends to hold elections to form a civilian government North Korea is an unabashed dictatorship. Yet the DMZ has kept the 2 armies apart for more than 50 years. Although the North Koreans have repeatedly sent intruders across the border into the South there has never been a massacre of civilians as has happened repeatedly in India. Tunnels across the DMZ were discovered in 1974, 1975, 1978 and 1990 which have become tourist attractions. On 26 March 2010 a South Korean warship, the Cheonan was torpedoed by the North, although they vehemently denied it, and on 23 November 2010 the North shelled the island of Yeonpyeong killing 2 South Korean marines. Since the war the South has just ignored the North, while keeping a watchful eye on it, while it has powered ahead with its economy. Dictators like to strut their stuff so the North is mad with hate at being dumped into a corner as its economy slowly degenerates into bankruptcy. This is what we should do with Pakistan. Build fences along the border and lay land mines so extensively that not even a mouse can cross over. Shoot at anything that tries to cross. Then forget about it and concentrate on becoming rich. Sadly since independence the Congress has repeatedly turned victories into defeat and seems set on a course for further massacres. The enemy is within.
