...and it is a Pakistani Senator that is calling for it. When Pakistan got caught snuggling stuff to N.Korea et al they were allowed to escape deeper punishment due the skillful handling of the issue by Musharraf. And only A.Q.Khan was fingered and briefly put into a house arrest. This...

We come across a number of nasty reports of nasty incidents involving nasty bigots doing nasty things to others. Sometimes the victims themselves behave nasty in retaliation. It is very difficult for us to really know how much of that is in proportion to the whole population. With events such as...

There is very little disagreement that win or lose, neither side be happy after a war. Without getting into the right/wrongness of any side, look at Aleppo...surely everyone agrees we cannot allow that in any part of the subcontinent, whether it is Karachi or Peshawar or muzzafarabad! It is...

The truth about Muslims in America - CNN.com Donald Trump's idiotic call for banning entry of Muslims into the US was rightly countered by CNN with an article that tried to provide some facts about Muslims in America. However it seems to have become a bit too zealous in at least one claim - the...

A few years ago Pakistan said they sent dossiers to India. Even the docile Manmohan Singh refuted receiving any such dossier. The Pakistani government went silent and couldn't wait for that embarrassment to die down. Now with much fanfare and press the current set of Pakistani leaders and...

Are Pakistanis able to use alibaba, baidu et al for ecommerce, since the following says they are banned from Amazon, ebay & paypal? if so how do they get paid, in RMB or Pak Rupee or something else? No entry for Pakistan in Ebay, Amazon and Paypal - The Express Tribune No entry for Pakistan in...

I've been saying this for a while now. even as China inflated on a debt bubble and tried all kinds of shenanigans with current devaluation, stock market blockades, forced brokerage transactions, government purchase of SOE bank shaares....yet the swoon continued. After two months finally the...

With the quick UAE visit to Modi culminating in two very important positive results (the $75B Indian Infra Fund and the investigation, freeze and possible confiscation of Dawood Ibrahim's wealth in UAE with which he is suspected to have been paying Pakistani leaders for protection), the next...

It is difficult to see humor in a war - after all we are conditioned to salute the flag and honor the services of the valiant soldiers, win or loss. Rarely though, do mere soldiers win or lose. It is pretty much pre-determined by the degree of the senior dumbness. Here Lt.Gen.Mahmud summarizes...

I have been one of the severe critics of Air India but I am glad to say that this year, having flown 5 return trips internationally and several locally within India, there seems to have been improvements operationally. May be I am lucky but 100% of my flights have either been on time or early -...

During last week's Modi visit to UAE, UAE announced the UAE India Infra Investment Fund of $75B. This is very welcome from both sides since India's infrastructure program is (slowly) kicking into higher gear (smart cities, highways etc) AND UAE is looking for profitable long term investment...

I don't understand this. Dawood Ibrahim is nothing but a smuggler, racketeer and murderer. He has no connection to Kashmir. Why does Pakistan shelter him, have been lying for him and in the process lose even more credibility? Aren't you Pakistanis simply providing justification for being branded...
