From 1999 to the present day, I have yet to encounter a Terrorist.

I have encountered impossible situations, complex scenario’s, irredeemably intractable riddles, frustrating puzzles, difficult agenda’s...but I have never encountered a Terrorist.

The man you see here is Sahin, he’s a man with a cause, the liberation of Balochistan. He committed suicide in Islamabad this morning and took 24 others with him.

The International Community would see this kind of thing and see separatism, which is, an issue which is important to him, and his people and not so much the International Community.

So this is merely a difficult situation, it isn’t the end of the world.

The only way to deal with this, is through objectivity and diplomacy, not through making an assessment about how popular you are with your electorate, and then hiding behind your military to try to convince your electorate that somehow, and in some way, the number of people you kill directly correlates with political strength and re-election, all that does is breed stupidity and ethnic hatred.

You in the American Government and Military, grow the fuck up and start behaving like adults, the rest of the World is not going to wait for you. The longer you delay and fail, the more you have to explain.
