So, why doesn't the GoP have an entirely Pakistani (no foreign aid or foreign group involvement) program of childhood vaccination? Why does Pakistan even need/allow foreign NGO's to operate in places like FATA or Khyber Pakhtunkhwa? And my point about "non-Quranic" is that any modernization...

Perhaps Lockheed Martin should ask the Vietnamese if they would like to give the system a "field test" somewhere in the Vietnamese EEZ. Looks like the system could provide a somewhat "stealthy", i.e, deniable, attack. It might covertly disable a drilling platform, who knows?
