Win-Win

Pro-Taliban tribesmen vs. al-Qaeda Uzbeks in South Waziristan.  At least 58 dead! It’s hard to know which side to cheer for!*   

CSM.com has a roundup here.  Best line, NYT:

Pakistani government officials said they had no role in the latest fighting, but watched it with considerable optimism.

“Let the tribespeople deal with the situation,” one government official said. “That’s the best way to deal with the problem. There is a groundswell of support for action against Uzbeks, and any attempt by the government to intervene in support of the tribal action would actually discredit it. There is tribal sensitivity involved here.”

*Not that hard, actually, and the badder bad guys are getting the worst of it. Its 42-16, Tribesmen.

   I’ll cheer for both sides. As long as they’re fighting each other, etc.
