It is important to understand the stakes and strategies defining the current Indo-Pak confrontation. The two rivals have gone beyond the stage of negotiation, and are testing each others resolve. The next step may be a preemptive strike by one against the other, and from there-- war.

What is interesting is that the crisis was precipitated not by either, but by non-state actors-- "zombie" free agents that Pakistan outsources its secular policies (weaken neighbors) to.

We (the collective W.E.) is now mopping up behind this "rakta-bindu" monster created by the ISI.

If we take "Operation Bluestar" to be a unit of anti-domestic-insurgency efforts, Pakistan will need (say) 20 Operation Bluestars to soften irridentist SOBs on its soil.

That will take a strong central government-- not one percieved as a puppet of India or the US.

So, can CrowdSourcing be a tool for creating the groundswell of indigineous Pakistani public opinion that it will take to turn the Pakistani mothership around? Can these "distributed" engines be harnessed as "self organizing swarms"? Can we social-engineer sanity? I do not understand the dynamics of Twitter, nor the possibilities of Crowdsourcing. I do believe, however, that the contagon of reason can be leveraged to win this war on civilization.
