Not anymore. Now it is everywhere. Bangladesh, Maladives, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Nepal, Malayasia.....<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

At least in the Indian context, I still maintain that Pakistan is the spigot which needs to be shut-off. Achieve that, and regional jehadis can be managed.

Another out-of-the-box thinking:

It seems Israel does not want to escalate the current crisis in the ME, provided the soldiers are returned and Hezbollah is disarmed and retreats. There are also reports coming out that Israel and Lebanon may accept international peacekeepers to defuse the situation.

Chance for India to play an extremely strategic game. I think it would be stroke of genius for GOI to place 20-25K Indian peacekeeping troops between the borders of Israel and Lebanon (they have had previous experience under UN). The Indian troops should be acceptable to both sides. Politically, the GOI should receive the support of most Indians (seculars, BJP, IM, Commies?) as this move should be seen as bringing peace to "muslims" in Lebanon from the Israelis (most important: it has NOTHING to do with the USA - a pet peeve of commies and sections of IM!).

MMS/GOI should offer this to the G8 in Russia. India's price: For securing peace and bringing stability in the ME, the world will gladly allow India to clean its own stable in the region as well as UN will invite India as a permanent UN security council member with Mr. Sashi Tharoor as the First Indian UN Secretary General.

GO FOR IT INDIA!
