i told you the same thing about syria - that i had no interest in taking a side in a conflict between a failed state and a bunch of jihadists.

in the end, i felt compelled to support the bombing against isis, because it was a reflection of the actual popular will. but, it was an almost singular situation, where imperial might could step in and uphold what people actually wanted.

it's far less clear how that can happen in kashmir - but i know that supporting islamic militants isn't the right approach, never has been and never will be.
