Understanding the reality

The Cell phone story seems to be accurate, but there was a deliberate effort in the article to be politically correct. I dispute terming the Kashmir conflict as "Muslim separatist revolt". Majority, more than 80%, of the people fighting in Kashmir are not from that region and belong to Al-Qaeda affiliated groups. The US gonvernment knows this but doesn't say it out, because it doesn't want to displease the country which "appears" to be helping it on a different front eventhough it has failed to nab any signifact member of the group even after sucking up hunderds of millions of dollars, as aid, from the US over 5 years.
The US is never going to be safer if it doesn't fight the right battles. We fight the Taliban and Al-Qaeda and not the country that harbored, funded and supported them. We fight Iran and N. Korea and not the coutry that supplied them the technology illegally. And worse we offer them hunderds of millions of dolars in aid.
