^^ No, I mean where Musharraf and Vajpayee left off.

Why compare numbers between '65 and '71. Much more accurate to compare numbers PAF proved in their flypasts soon after '65. Anyway, you are free to believe what you will. Chuck Yeager has written extensively on this issue, as has Fricker and numerous other aviation experts. It's all in the...

Geelani wants freedom for Kashmir. The "elections" in Kashmir are organized by a force he deems to be an occupation power. Do you honestly think the result of such an election says anything at all about a separatist leader's true popularity. I would request us to refrain from this this line...

Why are you comparing his statements to "Toms, Dicks and Harry's". You should compare his statements to ministers on this side of the fence. You have your own RSS/Purohit types that fall in the "Tom Dick and Harry" category with "armed terrorists under them".

If there is a "bundle" of CBMs in which both sides are seen to make concessions, then I think it could be sold to both populaces. For example, both India and Pakistan have lists of "terrorists" they have given to each other. There could be some agreement on prosecution for the appropriate people...

Just shows you didn't read the text. And if you did, you didn't comprehend it. It's not about Yeager saying this or that, it's the fact that the PAF flying certain numbers of aircraft in force after the conflict conclusively showed that IAF kill claims were nonsense.

You are right, no point in reading between the lines. In due time things will become clear. 2010 has definitely seen an upsurge in Kashmir, and the upsurge is not just due to separatist military activity, but also political protests, civil disobedience and so on. These are just facts on the...

This picture has a lot of meaning. It's not just three heads of state standing together for a photo op. This alliance has already achieved quite a bit, in terms of stability in Sri Lanka. In the future it will define an axis in South Asia which will likely include Bangladesh and a few other...

I love keeping up with global development news, but frankly, it is impossible to keep up with all that is happening in China. I don't think mankind has seen such rapid infrastructure development at such large a scale ever in the history of the world. It's absolutely unbelievable. We have a lot...

I think the separatists have taken the tact they have because they realize nothing is going to be "given" to them. They are thus in the business of fighting and taking what they believe is theirs. Sad state of affairs that can only be resolved if India and Pakistan pursue a mutually acceptable...

George did get Pakistani citizenship from Shaukat Aziz and he stayed on in Pakistan. He may be visiting the UK off and on, but he's been consistently appearing in morning TV shows and various other TV productions. He also writes regularly in the popular press. He's a very patriotic Pakistani.

"Never" is a long time. Rac1st scum from the 1950s would have told you a black man could never be the President of the USA. They have now been replaced by people who have a deep rooted hatred of muslims. But this too shall pass. inshaAllah.

A significant percentage of Asia. China's a big country. I think China has a far greater right to maintain a strong military presence in Asian waters than a non-Asian power does.

Very positive news. So we will get some nice upgrades for the JF-17 and the UCAVs we've been wanting for a while. Is the Burraq UCAV program a completely different program altogether? That was my impression. If so, one can probably expect to see at least two, possibly three different types of...

Since 1971, the relations between Pakistanis and Bengalis/Bangladeshis have been improving. Ultimately, after all is said and done, we are brothers and I think most people on both sides recognize this fact. Following the trend since '71, I only see increasing levels of friendship and cooperation...

Very sad statement, but at times it appears to be true. There's a thread currently being discussed here about how an attack on Iran will rescue the US economy. I can't believe people actually think and say these things... but the real shocker is that they sometimes act on them too.

I am aware of the context of the quote. Thanks for reinforcing my point. You may not have seen the earlier discussion concerning Pakistan enabling U2s to overfly the USSR, only to be threatened with a nuclear attack by Khruschev, and the consequent American refusal to extend a nuclear umbrella...

Happy Thanksgiving! We're sending Achari Turkey and Turkey Tandoori your way :-)

Nothing is free. You get free education in your area because the home you own has significant annual taxes associated with it. Once all is said and done, in additional to federal taxes, state taxes, sales tax, social security and medicare you also pay about 5% of the value of your home in annual...

Indeed. I saw Ataturk's desk, the bed where he lay in his last few moments on earth as well as his wheelchair. The desk was small and modest and Ataturk used one of the smaller bedrooms at the Dolmabahçe Palace. His bed was draped with the Turkish flag and when we visited, a wreath lay on it. It...
