this is the conspiracy theory my mother came up with. which is funny. as shes never like that, never seeing anyone as ever being sneaky or underhanded and seeing the government as rarely lieing. (she doesn’t belive it… and I don’t either… just… doesn’t sound SO crazy)

err… the theory… in… play form…

Osama: grr! attack america!
America: oh no! they attacked us! lets get them!
Osama: I’m hanging out with the talaban in afganistan!
America: grr! we will bomb you and all of afganistan!
Terrorists: eek! run away! run away!
America: grr! attack attack grr!
People: dude, stop bombing afganistan… they didn’t do anything
America: aww, just a little more… please?
People: all the terorists are dead or run to pakistan!
America: can we bomb pakistan now?
Everyone: no body would really like that, plus we already bombed one country
America: fooie… guess we are mostly stuck… too bad we lost alot of the terorists into pakistan, and possibly osama himself!

news: this just in! a war thats been going on for years largly is suddenly worse and pakistan might be blasted into atoms in the next few months!
right… I don’t buy it… but something interesting to think about… I do remember reports of osama possibly haveing run to pakistan. along with alot of other deserting talaban/terrorists.

plus… bombing pakistan would NOT be a good move for america to do directly… as far as middle east countrys go, we get along well with them.

seems… if osama DID run there… and we don’t really want to attack them ourselfs… wouldn’t have been so hard to go over to india who hates them anyway and say “hey india, pakistan called you funny looking, you gonna stand for that?”

ah well… but for this theory to be true… you gotta assume that everything that happens in the world is caused by the american government… and this Owl knows thats silly… but a good conspiracy theory really is alot of fun

Well I can certainly imagine certain influential Americans coming to the conclusion that the Pakistanis are only telling us what they think we want to hear, saying one thing and doing another etc. Do we really think that Musharraf got rid of EVERYONE in his government, particularly the ISI (intel/security agency), who didn’t want to cooperate fully with the Americans? Are there really no more al-Qaeda sympathizers in the Pakistani government? And India of course being a relatively stable democracy and major economic partner, while Pakistan has been a coup-ridden, arms-exporting pain in the ass for decades.

Feeding Pakistan to the Indians is a hell of a step, but certainly doable. Basically all the USA would have to do is ensure one way or another that the Pakistani nuclear capability was disabled; this could be accomplished by giving intelligence data on command and control systems to India. Then step back and let India do all the work. No US pilots or troops need be involved at all.

Say, that could actually work. hmm … The only disadvantage being perhaps that such a war is what the “bad guys” want, and is why they have been staging terrorist raids into Kashmir etc. from Pakistani territory, which is what has India so pissed off to begin with.
