Despite Donald Trump we pray that Republicans win next year.

One woman died and a BSF soldier was injured recently in Pakistani shelling across the border in Jammu. Nothing new. Pakistan has been shelling India off and on for decades. As usual Pakistanis blamed India for starting the exchange of fire. Pakistan has been suffering from long blackouts, leading to 1000 deaths, during the recent heat wave. With no electricity water could not be pumped into homes, which maybe to blame for some of the deaths due to dehydration. Who did they blame for the heat wave? India, of course. More specifically, hot air from power plants in Rajasthan. It must be maddening to see air conditioners running in India while sitting in the pitch dark. Imagine the amount of hot air coming out of air conditioners. No wonder the mad dogs went madder and started firing. The Prime Minister will visit Israel within the next one year. He should ask Israel to help in building a secure fence along our border with Pakistan. Terror attacks by Palestinians have been cut by 99% since Israel built a fence separating its territory from theirs. Now Israel has decided to build a fence along its border with Jordan to keep out ISIS. Hungary has started to build a fence along its border with Serbia to keep out illegal migrants. The US has built 670 miles of fencing along its border with Mexico and Republicans aspiring to win the presidential election next year are asking for the entire border to be fenced. But the mother of all fences is the Demilitarized Zone that has kept the peace between North and South Korea for over 50 years. South Korea has deployed automated guns capable of firing .50 calibre bullets which can stop a truck. The guns scan the horizon 24 hours a day and start firing if anything comes within range. At the moment they are controlled by humans but could become fully automatic. We should build a fence along the entire border with Pakistan, cut off all contact with that nation of maniacs and deploy these guns at regular intervals. No need to fight or argue at the United Nations, just ignore them. Even mad dogs cannot use nuclear weapons for being ignored. We lose nothing but gain hugely. Trade with Pakistan is not even 1% of our total trade while we lose vast amounts of money on soldiers protecting the border against terrorists crossing over, in lives lost and in time spent by the government in regular rubbish talks which lead nowhere. If the mad dogs are ignored they will fight and kill each other, an outcome to be fervently wished for. We do not understand why the US continues to protect Pakistan so that the serial killer, Obama rushed over here to lecture Mr Modi in January while the US is building super-nukes which are 3 times as powerful as the Hiroshima bomb. Obama finishes next year, good riddance. Let us hope a Republican wins next year.
