BBC News: Reports that Indian citizens have been warned by their government not to visit Pakistan. It seems that due to the terror attack on Bombay by suspects from Pakistan that the government of Pakistan is not playing a very sophisticated game, after terrorists attacks in Pakistan those from India have been picked up, the West in this case, Bush and Obama have to get a handle on this issue before it gets out of hand, thus again the present Secretary of State Condi Rice and the future Secretary of State Hillary Clinton should make a visit to the region, we don't have time to wait for the Inauguration.

World War One, July Days 1914 - India and Pakistan War 2008 ?
The New York Times: Reports on the growing tensions in the Capitals of India and Pakistan. In the summer days of 1914 while the British public enjoyed the holidays the tensions of July 1914 grew out of the death of the Heir to the Austro - Hungarian Throne, the Dual Monarch. It was seen as a distant event, how could such event effect Europe and the Empire. Of late we have had the terrorists attacks in Mumbai ( Bombay ) India, in 1914 Austria blamed Serbia with just cause, the Diplomats rushed around their Allies, after the terrorists attacks the USA sent missions to India and Pakistan as to calm the water. After the initial deaths of the Archduke and his Wife it was still seen as a distant event, we are now in the Christmas period in the West, in this 24 hour seven day news world, the worlds eyes moves to other events. Thus we have news that Pakistan is sending its troops from the border with Afghanistan to the border between India and Pakistan, we have tensions brewing, both are nuclear powers, in 1914 the Empires mobilized their troops for the railways, the locomotive engine would have a major effect on the Russian Revolution of 1917. Thus the question as in 1914 the Empires had to move to meet their train timetables for War, will Pakistan or India decide to use the bomb first, it worked in 1945 between USA and Japan and the end of World War Two. The Bush and Obama Administrations could be facing that clock moving to all out war between India and Pakistan, this could help the terrorists on the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan and hurt the West in Afghanistan. Are the July Days of 1914 repeating themselves in a distant land over the water.
The NEW India and Pakistan War ?
Fox News: Reports on the growing tension between India and Pakistan as a result of the Bombay Terror Attacks. As the The Times of London of late reported that Pakistan had made a threat to move its troops from the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan if the tensions between India and Pakistan grew, Fox reports that Pakistan is moving its troops from the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan to the border between India and Pakistan. I have to be admit thought this issue had been dealt with by the Bush Administration, the Secretary of State, Condi Rice made a visit to India while Senator McCain visited Pakistan as to cool the environment. It seems that President - Elect Obama could face a major war between India and Pakistan on his first day on the job. This is a time for Bush and Obama to work together, they should send Condi Rice and Hillary Clinton to the Indian and Pakistan, also use Bill Clinton to keep the lid on this boiling pot of trouble. If Pakistan and India go to War the War on Terror could be hurt badly, the terrorists would have a free hand on the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan, the Government of Pakistan could fall, what if the terrorists get hold of the bomb. The West has to get his stick out, carrot has not helped, e.g dollars, thus both Pakistan and and India have to be informed that the West can not allow these games between the two get out of hand. The UK and USA has a large presence in Afghanistan and the region, thus India and Pakistan will have to behave as grow ups.
The Left and Bush
Guardian ( UK ): The Left wing UK Guardian has an article calling on Bush 43 to be held to account for his actions as President. What will the left wing do with Obama in the Oval Office, what if at the end of the day Obama has to follow the same anti terror policies that Bush has followed since 9/11. After 9/11 there has not been another attack on the American homeland, if Obama follows the left wing and there is an attack Obama wont get a second term and he will have to reverse to the Bush polices that the left wing hate, WHAT WILL THE LEFT WING DO THEN ?
