Bush was never as unpopular in the US as Zardari is in Pakistan. Also, Bush was directly elected by the people of the US twice, whereas Zardari became our president using cheap circus tricks. The People's Party that was elected to power was not this one, Pakistanis were shown Aitezaz Ahsan, Amin...

That term, strategic, is thrown around way too much on this forum. We really must be very careful when using it, because it is often used in a context it shouldn't be. For example, here you are trying to imply that India is a greater "strategic" focus for the Armed Forces of Europe and the US...

See, this is the problem with us Pakistanis. We get carried away very easily. India is the farthest thing from a failed state, it is a booming country with a bright future. However, simply because many Indians fantasize about a failed Pakistan, we feel like we must return the favor. As for...

I would favor such support if and only if India resolves the Kashmir to the satisfaction of the people. As long as that occupation continues, no such support should be shown. However, a willingness to cooperate on other issues must always exist.

2020 is 10 years away. That is approximately 3650 days away, which is roughly 87600 hours, 5256000 minutes and 315360000 seconds. You think we can't come up with a suitable defence against your self-proclaimed "superweapon" PAK-FA in all that time? Are you assuming that we will sit on our as*es...

How the heck can we "build" a "nation" with these types of leaders in power? Until when are we going to ignore the disease and focus on the symptoms? It is time for Pakistan to wake up and realize the need for change (and most of us awoke a long time ago, some people are still lagging behind)...

Basti as well. I forget the name of the area, but it's close to the graveyard, a Masjid and a Park. There is a bus-route that goes from Hospital straight to the Graveyard, I always found that disturbingly funny. "Haspatal se Qabristan", what a hilarious name for a bus-route. Tell me his first...

I'm from Wah Cantt as well! I think that makes three people from there on this forum. Surprisingly, though, the other two are girls. This is what I said to my Nani Ammi (grandma) when she asked which city I liked better: Lahore, Lahore ay Magar Wah di te gal hi kuch aur ay! I remember coming...

The Geo TV paradise, and I want to stay there. At the very least, this should re-focus our Judiciary and our populace onto the cases against the Pres. It seemed that the whole "judge-swap" game had, unintentionally, helped the governing party by diverting attention away from the cases against...

It's just a movie, sir. The director's objectives are clear, he wants to show the "other side" of Pakistani society. This does not necessarily mean the "everyday side" or the "reality", but the "other extreme" if you will. It's a movie and its purpose is to make money, plain and simple. Whether...

It is true that the symbol of the Crescent has no direct meaning in Islam. However, the Islamic Calendar is a lunar calendar, where the months are 29 or 30 days long and are determined by looking for the "new moon". Hence, the Crescent provides a convenient symbol. It is not un-Islamic to adopt...

You see that in such minorities in the big cities and even in certain smaller towns. It's unfortunate that the majority of the so-called "elite class" thinks that modernization and westernization are the same thing. These people who think that if you want to look "cool", put on an "I heart NY"...

My friend, you are most welcome to watch this movie. I will too as I'd like to see how the other side lives. However, please don't get the idea that this movie represents the "norm" or the "average" in Pakistan. The director himself has claimed that he focused on the minority "privileged youth"...

Firstly, keep the "Typical Pakistani" BS out. All of us here are Pakistanis, and we don't care what you think about our "mentality". Secondly, Zardari innocent of corruption?! Are you kidding me? Was Hitler a humanitarian on your planet? I know. Wipe the evidence and then say "go ahead, try...

Corruption flows from top to bottom in Pakistan. If we can reign in corruption at the top, we can deal with it lower down. There is no country in the World that can claim it's corruption-free, but there are some countries where it is barely noticeable to the average citizen. As long as we have...

Q - What do you mean by Azadi (freedom) I asked him? 1. “We don’t want the Indian army here”. 2. “We want India to be out of Kashmir. We don’t want to be part of India.” 3. “We will have azadi (freedom) from India and run our own government, or join...

You can't generalize like that. I've seen plenty of both conservative and ultra-liberal Iranians here in Canada. Same goes for Arabs (I don't know any Saudis personally). There are also many Pakistani and Indian students at uni who go crazy when they come to Canada. The thing is, because they...

Hello Freddie, I forgot when I wrote that. Thanks for the hello, by the way. You should introduce yourself in the Member's Introduction section. -Ace

This could be a retaliatory strike from one of those groups that claim the TTP to be a wing of the CIA. Or it could be the ISI fighting fire with fire, though considering the civilian casualties, that's unlikely. Either way, it would be unwise to read too much into this. I'm not so sure...

There is another thread with this exact title (or very similar) that was posted way back when India released their first nuclear propelled submarine for sea trials. And nothing happened. I think this is more wishful thinking, unless proven otherwise. Until then, it is highly recommended that...
