Well it looks like we avoided a close one!! If the US and Brits didnt step in to calm things down we could very well be witnessing an all out war over there. I have also seen various reports on the web though that Israel is working with India to launch commando raids into Pakistan. I wonder what the US and Brits stance on that would be? I thought i saw yesterday that Rice said limited raids on terrorist camps in Pakistan were "ok's" but overt military action is not.
