Gee, i am not surprised are you?


A senior strategist for the US government says that the three key future flashpoints for militant jihadists will be Pakistan, Bangladesh and Europe.

Lt Col David Kilcullen, who has just started a job as an adviser to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, also suggests that the coalition which invaded Iraq has abandoned the idea of creating a democracy there.

In an interview for Analysis on BBC Radio 4, Lt Col Kilcullen states "unequivocally" that future conflict will spike in Pakistan. He described the Taleban as a Pashtun movement that is trying to control the Pashtun areas straddling the border of both Afghanistan and Pakistan.

I think Pakistan will be the next hotspot.

Bhutto is the key. She can either be a uniter or a divider, it will be interesting to see what her real reason is for returning.
