200 outfits, God knows how many loonies are members. A society that "brain-washes,trains, arms and makes "Shahids" of young hot-heads" is changing its SOCIAL VALUES, radically. Interpretations of the Quar'on will become more radical due to pressure from a growing mob of these Madrassa-educated hot-heads. That Talibanism will affect the Pakistanis much more than the Indians. Musharraf knows this. When he started making speeches about "terrorism" in 2002, I think he meant what he said. I don't think he meant to please the Americans. Mush is the most intelligent strategist Pakistan has ever had. Given Pak politics, he is unable to rein in the megalomaniac ISI. No matter 200 or 300 outfits, setting off baazaar bombs - India would collapse? Try the following solutions: 1) CCTV cameras covering as many baazaars as possible. Such cameras in all major Mandhirs, Masjids and major buildings, railway staions. 2) Metal/bomb detectors in every major trains station, also spot-checks of passenger luggage in between stations. 3) Areas-watchers - new home-guard units in big towns and cities to watch every street for new arrivals, suspicious vehicles coming and going. China has traditionally had such security agents in almost every street. 4) A centralised agency with an easy to remember e-mail address and phone for citizens to pass on information on possible terrorist links of people in their area. Of course, there wd be lots of hoax calls. But such hoax e-mail sources can be traced.
