Even if the island is little, Pakistan now has the right to increase its territorial sea.

I wouldn't buy that rock so quickly. Easy comes easy goes, and the next quake could sink the island again.

Pakistan loves the Taliban so much perhaps they can give the island to them, then they can live happily ever after in their own little fundamentalist paradise.

I was thinking the same thing.
Quite a stroke of luck actually.
The island has a lot of natural gas that could be capped and tapped.
And it can easily be leveled for construction.
And its considerably bigger than first reported.

There are plenty of military bases in Japan, Indonesia, California, Turkey, Italy, Alaska, the Phillipines, etc etc etc.

It's a good place to put 'em, because if they get destroyed you haven't lost anything but a military base. Easy and quick to replace and not vital to the economy.
