Aren't the godless Pakistani Army largely shut down for Ramadan, whilst the fiercely Koranic following Taleban still open for business?

You'd think they'd be able to make a better job of assassinating each other, given that they have, wouldn't you?

It doesn't take a genius to work out that if you cause a warhead to explode in one town or city, the neighbouring one is pretty much going to be taken out too.

Since when was the Pakistani army godless? Its motto is "Faith, piety, to strive in the path of Allah".

Probably because they have a functioning (if imperfect) democracy, an army with no history of intervening in politics, and their religious fanatics concentrate their efforts on home-soil bararism, rather than the export variety.

Well, that depends on how you view Kashmir.
