Musharraf declares jihad against extremis

I agree.  That is a double-edged sword and people need to learn the art of negotiation.  The gun, the sword should always be the last resort for any right thinking human and especially in regard to foreign policy (read: 'the other tribe') matters.  The Bible says, "Inasmuch as it is possible, be at peace with all men." Romans 12

Naysayers are those that present the negative view or the negation of views for the sake of doing that alone - without, and this is key, without presenting any other positive alternative.  If we're interested in solutions, it is incumbent upon us to present at least some positive alternative(s).

That's not the point.  Just don't be ONLY a naysayer.  Provide an alternative...
