There is no reason to hate America for the drone strikes in their present form. They happen with the involvement of the PA and if you dont know that, then I am surprised. As for Americas past dealings w Pakistan, what is done is done. Instead of 'hating' make the best of the present situation...

Wish I was there... I am sure events like this one will happen across the country and throughout the year. I will be sure to attend one in Lahore.

May he burn in hell and be tormented till eternity. What a great start to 2011!

Petrol prices have increased as of today. Oil imports had touched a historic high in Dec, and they are the largest import driver. The deficit won't even come close to 8%. Taxes in some form will be levied after the usual political back and forth. So there are plenty of options and they are...

I don't much care for the usual debate on drone strikes. I do care that this article is a Xinhua piece. China is coming out very strongly in support of Pakistan across all areas. Very encouraging trend. As the nuclear reactor issue demonstrated, and then the "do more" that Premier Wen directed...

People that pooh-pooh "cheap Chinese goods" or Chinese "copies" are either missing the point, misinformed or jealous. The reality is that China is now uniquely positioned in the world for having massive investment in research, while also having the world's largest manufacturing capability at the...

We should worry about the deficit, but let's put it in perspective. The two percent that exceeds target is ultimately not that big of an amount. So to take this one item and assert that this means Pakistan has a "deteriorating economy" is a little absurd. Anyway, we shall see what happens. I...

Wonderful news that Engro found 2 BN tons of coal in their sector even though the initial estimate put the reserve at 1.6BN tons. And also that the quality turned out to be much better than originally estimated. Thrilled to hear that the Geological Survey of China is involved in the project as...

It's a cultural thing... in our part of the world, excessive smiling on the part of someone you don't know is associated either with lewdness (in public environments) or cleverness. We smile after developing a relationship or rapport. And then our sense of humour can be quite amazing. In the...

Tolerance is a tenet, as long as no one is abusive. You will have to live with that if you want to continue participating here.

Existing population location means nothing. Resources gained from land go beyond crops. And technology makes land which was not under cultivation, fertile and cultivable. A significant percentage of the land presently under cultivation in Pakistan was not in use in 1947.

If you feel this way then you are welcome to find another outlet for your views.

Whatever is done, is done. The Arabs have a peace deal on the table which recognizes Israel's right to exist peacefully alongside a Palestinian state. Most third parties and independent observers deem this to be a reasonable and fair deal. The ball is 100% in Israel's court. Unfortunately...

World Bank, World Development Indicators - Google public data Not that this thread concerns Pakistan's growth rate, but 3 percent is very wrong. I don't know whether you were just being sarcastic or whether you believe it. In either case, estimates for Pakistan's population growth range from...

Looking at population in isolation is meaningless. Population density is what counts. China, being much larger than India, even at the same population has more land/person than India does. The story is the same in Pakistan... I believe Pakistan has 1.6 times the land resources per person as...

Mr. Eagle, Sir, we understand why many devout Christians support Israel; not because of the actions/or lack thereof of the Israeli government, but due to purely religious reasons. However, before one gets too deep into doctrine, it is also useful to realize that the Good Lord's law is fairly...

One tires correcting errors... this article is riddled with them. Everyone seems to be getting really concerned about the export competition they will be getting from the JF-17 and J-10. Fair enough.

Yes. And that is a poor justification for an illegal blockade. Obviously that is your Israeli perspective. Your unbelievably racist comment about the horrid situation in Gaza being "better than most Muslim countries" just shows that not only do you have no issue perpetrating falsehoods, you...
