Not so fast. May I put a caveat on this?
If turmoil in TSP is going to do all this to India (as it definitely will) should we cause that turmoil ourselves and choose to suffer?
Or should we wait for that turmoil to occur on its own, knowing that it might come and plan whether we are going to gun down anyone crossing the border with robotic machine guns, or house them in depakistanization ashrams?
