And history continues to repeat itself….

WASHINGTON, May 21: British Foreign Secretary David Miliband told a US audience on Wednesday that his government supports talks between Pakistan’s new rulers and tribal leaders aimed at curbing insurgency along the Afghan border.
In a speech to a Washington think-tank, Mr Miliband said there was “no military solution” to the spread of militancy in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
The British foreign secretary is scheduled to meet US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Wednesday evening for talks expected to focus on Pakistan’s effort to seek a negotiated solution to insurgency in its tribal region.
He visited Pakistan last month for talks with the new government and backed the talks with militants, but warned that there should only be reconciliation with those who renounce violence.
Mr Miliband’s views contrast sharply with those of the US administration which opposes talks with the militants and also backs President Pervez Musharraf in his effort to retain some powers in the new administrative set-up in Pakistan.
Here’s a clinical solution:
Ω nuke waziristan/taliban/AQ, Ω Iran, encircle Hezbollah in Lebanon and Syria and drive then into the Mediterranean.. shouldn’t take longer than a week to accomplish I imagine.
Any remaining splinter groups can then talk surrender all they want.. even in the UK.

This usually ends the “I am superior to Americans because I am English” attitude.

May 22nd, 2008 at 12:04 amthe commie Gordon Brown has reached the lowest popularity
in recorded poll history.
They are having a by-election today in which a Labor MP
is expected to lose his seat despite that district being
a safe labor district since the year 0.
It’s called Crewe and Nantwich. The Conservative MP candidate
is expected to win it. If the Conservative guy wins, owing to
peculiarities in British politics, Gordon Brown is, essentially, toast.
Not surprising, they tried this on their own earlier. It would appear that the english lion can only gum you to death, after negotiations of course.
