"The FO has made a statement of concern over the killings of Muslims in India and has said that..."
"FO? Can one use the acronym in print?"
"For Pete's sake, it stands for Foreign Office."
"Oh, I see, sorry."
"Anyway the FO has said..."
"What about killing Muslims in Waziristan and Balochistan and..."
"Hey, they are terrorists over there."
"So you can kill a terrorist even if he is a Muslim."
"Right, because terrorists kill Muslims too."
"That is certainly true but then does this violence and counter-violence have an end."
"Yes, the complete destruction..."
"Let me rephrase that. With the entire world bent on the destruction, complete destruction that is, of the terrorists and the fundamentalists, who are at this point in our history mainly Muslims, has this strategy borne any fruit?"
"Well, not yet I mean..."
"It was first implemented by Bush and his allies in Afghanistan. That was in early 2002, wasn't it? Sufficient time has elapsed to have some statistics..."
"There is some evidence that terrorists may have increased in number and..."
"So this strategy is doomed to failure as much as Israel's strategy to annihilate all suicide bombers which along the way accounts for considerable collateral damage..."
"I know more innocent people are killed in such attacks than the terrorists."
"Why can't we talk to them?"
"How can you talk to terrorists?"
"If the British government could talk to the IRA..."
"That took decades..."
"But that was the solution in the end."
"We need a new set of world leaders for that to happen."
"Indeed, including the ones in Pakistan."
