Hopefully, in your regular interactions on this forum, you have discovered that bringing India, Pakistan or China into an unrelated thread is not merely an "analogy", it is a sure fire way of defocussing from the core issue at hand. So, yes, the reference you used was entirely off topic for the...

"LTTE cadres and their Indian companions " suggests that there is a difference between the LTTE cadres and the Indians with them. In other words, the LTTE cadres are actually Sri Lankan nationals. And if these Sri Lankan nationals are gun running members of a declared terrorist organization, why...

I hear you! But let's not feed this tendency to bring in irrelevant issues here. In Karthic's excitement I think he forgot to read my earlier post in full. Specifically this part: India sheltered terrorists from another country and then refused their own government access to them. So...

^^ I appreciate your views, but there are several Bangladeshi members who posted right above who don't quite seem to agree with your assessment. Nonetheless, I am both happy and proud that you, as a Pakistani, value the relationship with Bangladesh enough to say all that you have said. Kudos...

Thanks for the very candid and heartfelt views. I am deeply sorry for whatever happened in 1971. We do want to help you and please be assured that Bangladesh is definitely not alone. The new framework that is emerging in South Asia will give Bangladesh and Sri Lanka more security for sure...

Maybe my Chinese friends who are better versed in understanding "His Holiness'" abstract references can clarify this for me... what is he saying... that India used to be reserved about China but now the pretense is gone and there is a more direct confrontation? If so, I agree with him. And this...

Was the LTTE a declared terrorist organization when this happened? If so, this is a pretty strong statement; that India sheltered terrorists from another country and then refused their own government access to them.

Not sure what you are asking... if you are referring to some other indian forum, no, I hardly have enough time for this one. The video I've posted above is actually a repost from a couple of pages back in this thread. It was posted here hours ago.

Thank you for this post. It's actually one of the few useful, constructive ones in a long line of breathless, tediously crafted crapshoots. 1971 is 40 years in the past. The Bangladesh-Pakistan problem ended in 1971. It is not a festering wound that keeps getting worse every year with more...

What a friggin' troll fest! If this goes on, I will start banning offenders. Stick to the topic and if you don't have anything worthwhile to say, move along. This is a wonderful achievement for a small, private team of engineers. Many here seem to be fixated on the appearance of the aircraft...

A slightly more balanced one from the WP: Top CIA spy in Pakistan pulled amid threats after public accusation over attack By Karin Brulliard and Greg Miller Washington Post Staff Writers Friday, December 17, 2010; 4:36 PM ISLAMABAD, PAKISTAN - The CIA's top spy in Pakistan has been...

This story is buried deep in the belly of the NYT, while the story about the CIA station chief is the main headline :-) :-) :-) http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/18/world/asia/18wen.html?hpw Chinese Premier Visits Pakistan to Reinforce Ties By SALMAN MASOOD Published: December 17, 2010...

Is there a rule that says acts of terrorism cannot happen during a civil war?

You are free to express your opinion, but when you create an umbrella thread that solicits negative commentary about the West in general - not in a specific context - it serves no role but to become a troll magnet. My suggestion would be to either start threads focused on specific aspects you...

Smart move. Phones based on Android or Windows Phone7 devices are far more suited for secure communication in Pakistan. It is completely unacceptable for in-country secure traffic to go beyond PIE.

Not only that, the idiot journalist doesn't know the difference between investment and bilateral trade. You can't compare apples and oranges!!

Welcome to Pakistan, Premier Wen! You might be away from China, but you are still at home!

I hear you. But that popularity has increased only amongst the nations that were already under the US sphere of influence. America is not more popular with Russia, say. Not to even get into discussing NK or China itself... I guess my point is a remilitarization of Japan can (and probably will)...

Reminds me of what President Musharraf liked to say... "In judging a threat, two variables must be analyzed: intent and capability. We focus on capability because intent can change in an instant." Applies to Japan too. If Japan were to remilitarize, the numerous countries in the region that...
