And here’s something to stoke your fire:

Pakistan is willing to reopen its Afghan border to NATO truck traffic if a large ($1,000-1,500 per truck) bribe is paid. Apparently the size of the bribe is calculated to be a bit below the additional cost of moving in goods via Central Asian railroads. As NATO forces depart Afghanistan in 2014, Pakistan does not want to miss out on a one-time opportunity to make some money from the heavy traffic generated by NATO forces shipping their equipment home. Pakistani officials see this as a big payday for themselves as little of that money (which could be north of $200 million) will go to anything like public welfare. Instead, the cash will go to politicians and other government officials. That is not unusual in Pakistan, it’s the norm.

Political and religious violence in Karachi, Pakistan’s largest and wealthiest city, have killed over 300 so far this year. While bad, the violence is down compared to last year, when over 1,700 died. The unrest in Karachi has cost the economy billions of dollars last year and some of those losses continue this year.

And so good news from the same article:

Bangladesh admits that it still has Islamic terror groups operating on its territory. Bangladesh is also negotiating an extradition treaty with India, so India can take some of these terrorists who are wanted for crimes inside India.
