A lot of Pakistanis need to try to look at things from an Afghan perspective. Not too surprisingly, the world looks different. Try afghan-tan - rubbersoul1967 for one alternative perspective. Not everyone sees Pakistan as the greatest country in the world.

Why does anyone engage with this guy? A Chinese fan-boy who wants nothing more than China to be able to dominate and dictate to the whole world, in complete denial of reality. What is to be gained by discussing his idiotic suggestions?

You're happy with how things are going, I'm happy with how things are going, everyone's happy! Yay us!

I think the point is that bragging that you have some Germans on your side does not mean your cause is righteous. They apparently have people willing to fight for any unjust reason.

Just ordered a 2015 ecoboost convertible, triple yellow. Got another 2 months to actually get it :-(

How about slavery is not allowed at all, regardless of religion, reasons for fighting, or other justifications.

I would think you could live pretty nicely in China with $40-80k in the bank. That should give you $2-4k in interest income, reasonably invested, with is over the average income there without even having to hold down a job. Really, the US should publish the names and families of those...

British police have a better record of actually catching criminals and not being corrupt. How about Pakistan imports some British police to show them how to do it right?

This would be the US embassy representing all 50 states. They might even fly a few territorial flags as well. An embassy will have a large frontage. May as well stick some flag poles out there :-) It would be rare indeed to see them all at the same time in one place in the US. I believe...

It is funny that a Russian fanboy has a German company as his username. I would guess he works there. Nice of the Germans to employ him.

Effective at what? Looking out for Pakistan's best interest? No. You are overrun with insurgent movements and outright rebellion. OBL was hiding in Abbottabad. The ISI has run moronically counterproductive terrorism programs that have bitten back. Are these things by design? If so, they...

Only true in a free market. If the government is running the whole operation, this won't happen. So, could an independent operator actually move into the market? From what I've heard before here, it seems like prices are as high or higher than the US, for example. But if you have to have...

Exactly. There is no way the whole OBL affair looks good for Pakistan or the ISI, for any thinking person. Further, I don't regard it as a "closed affair" @Areesh - we have a pansy of a president at the moment. You may find this coming back to haunt you with the next president. We're well...

We're going gaga over someone? first i've heard of it... US has a lot of allies, relationships with almost every country, so i'm not seeing anything unusual here.

Gotta cut off the people who don't pay the bill.

@senheiser brought a friend. Seriously, you work for the USN and are a Russian fanboy? Gotta call BS on that.

Very good point - this is not primarily a government thing for developed countries - it is a bunch of individuals with minimal government assistance and a lot of government not interfering. Our government's interference often is to _reduce_ production, to keep prices higher. Walmart does...

No. The US backed mujahideen in Afghanistan against the USSR. That ended in 1992, at which time the USSR pulled out, US aid stopped, and several Afghan groups formed a new government. The new government was opposed by Gulbuddin Hekmatyar and his not so merry band of followers (who became the...

I think opinions have changed since this article (dated 28Jan15), according to this article from 6Feb15: http://english.alarabiya.net/en/views/news/middle-east/2015/02/06/Moaz-al-Kasasbeh-and-ISIS-s-fatal-misjudgment.html
