Terrible news. And bad news for Aasia as well. If Zardari now decides to pardon her, which I don't think will happen, he may as well end up like Taseer. RIP

There is nothing new in what the leaks have revealed. Any careful and rational observer would have figured out the whole circus even without the leaks. That is not to diminish the importance of the leaks since it brings greater clarity and substantiation to the table, along with some humorous...

If the world consists of only the Western nations then I'll agree with you. Otherwise we have decent and fair relations with many other countries.

Yeah sure. We do see comparisons of PAF vs UAEAF everyday now by an American general, don't we?

I see many here are living in a dream world and keep obsessing about a far off future which no one has seen and no one has any idea about. My message to these people - shun your dream lands and start living in the present. Do something worthwhile for the benefit of your countrymen, for your co...

You like myself and many others here are living in foreign lands. If you consider yourself to have the right to hold an opinion then so do others. As a citizen of Pakistan, no matter where they are, they have a rightful say in the affairs of the state, and to publicly share their opinions and...

This law should be removed but replaced with milder and wider law. No one deserves to be killed for blasphemy. For actions that lead to disharmony in society such as inciting violence and hatred or agitating general public, broad ranging laws can be applied. Its time to drop the hypocrisy and...

The freedom struggle in Kashmir is not jihad in the sense that you have mentioned. Its a secular and moral effort over a recognized disputed territory, an artifact of imperfect and incomplete division of British India. Comparing Xinjiang situation with Kashmir is therefore not correct.

Sounds like a perfect Nazi plan. :disagree: On a serious note, you should head off to a shrink to get your head checked.

The trick is to channel this energy in positive directions. The entire human effort is built around this energy. With it, empires have been created, empires been destroyed and replaced by more prosperous ones then in the past. In a modern context, if there is "belligerence" in business then...

There is no obligation on China to spend the dollars it accumulates. Controlling spending is the sovereign right of China. On the other hand if US thinks its importing too much then it has the option of raising import taxes. Trouble is US never adopted correct policies to control the rampant...

Money is not true wealth, resources are. If you send troops to war you need to purchase fuel and logistics. Troops need to eat, sleep, have recreation besides the usual fighting. All this requires production and resources. The military equipment requires materials, metals, and other resources...

If UNSC keeps on adopting unfair policies and targets nations without strong representation then it will loose all respect and its powers will fade. UN works by consensus and if it bullies and screws around with others then consensus will no longer remain. From there it goes on to become another...

Which is precisely why I am advocating for a secular cooperation. If Pakistan, Iran and Central Asian states become secular in outlook and governance on the lines of Turkey, we can see a great boost in mutual cooperation. Lets leave the religious and ethnic baggage aside and start working to...

Stuff should be produced at the lowest cost possible - keeping quality in mind ofcourse. Lowest cost means lowest amount of resources used to produce it i.e. workers who will eat less, live for less, work for less. Not only is this good for improving world prosperity by bringing cheaper cost...
