Scenic Pakistani valley falls to Taliban militants

Until Pakistan makes a long term, serious commitment to eradicate the Taliban, the terrorist will continue to rearm and expand their territory. Afghanistan and India desperately need to join forces with Pakistan and eliminate terrorists of all flavors, weather they be Muslim, Hindu, or whatever. Individually, even with copious outside military and humanitarian help, there just isn't enough manpower to saturate the vast areas the Taliban and al Qaeda occupy.

Somehow, the governments of the three nations must find common ground to fight the Global Jihad, or individually they will fall to radical Islam.
