" As part of the blog&amp;#039;s ongoing series, It&amp;#039;s One More Damn Thing, it seems to me that the fact that one side in the world&amp;#039;s most volatile and intractable conflict is telling its people to build bunkers should get a little more attention today than whatever it is Hillary Clinton says about what Susan Rice said on The Sunday Showz. &amp;quot;People should construct basements where the whole family can stay for a fortnight,&amp;quot; read the advisory, which was published Monday in the newspaper Greater Kashmir. It comes in the midst of the worst fighting in Kashmir between India and Pakistan since a cease-fire was signed in 2003. Three Pakistani and two Indian soldiers have been killed, and one of the Indian soldiers was found without his head. News of the mutilation infuriated Indians, with Sushma Swaraj, the leader of the opposition in the lower house of Parliament, calling for India &amp;quot;to get at least 10 heads from their side&amp;quot; if the Pakistanis did not return the soldier&amp;#039;s head. After criticism that he was not doing enough, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh of India said he was reviewing ties with Pakistan. A special visa program between the two countries has been suspended, and Pakistani players in a new Indian field hockey league have been sent home. Ten heads for one. Lovely. I don&amp;#039;t mean to sound like a cultural imperialist or anything, but I don&amp;#039;t feel comfortable reliving the seventh century with nuclear weapons. The Indians insist that the advisory is just to recognize the first anniversary of the founding of the country&amp;#039;s new disaster-preparedness unit, and maybe that&amp;#039;s all it is. (I&amp;#039;d have gone for a sheet cake and some flavorful, but inexpensive sparkling cider, but I&amp;#039;m funny that way.) We did go through our duck-and-cover period here, too. Nonetheless, I had no idea that things had become that volatile in Kashmir again. Perhaps it is not such a good time for this country&amp;#039;s national security apparatus to be in a state of flux. Perhaps it was not a good idea for American journalism largely to abandon foreign coverage. Perhaps I&amp;#039;ll worry about this more than what Hillary Clinton is going to say about what Susan Rice said to David Gregory. Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps.
