Dear C. Christine Fair,
If you’re ever in Columbus, OH please send me an email. I would love to buy you a drank. Your article in Contemporary South Asia entitled “The educated militants of Pakistan: implications for Pakistani’s domestic security” gave me a boner. I’m serious. I needed a new set of pants when you said “With respect to its policy of employing these militants, analysts have long said that ‘Pakistan is riding the tiger’—the implication being it will be difficult for Pakistan to disembark from this dangerous policy without dire consequences.” After I read that I ran around the library giving everyone high-fives. But thank you for saving my paper. I feel like I owe you something. So give me a shout. I’m serious. Lemme hit it.
