Daily Times The Taliban Apologists Obituaries are not quite my cup of tea. And frankly I have no emotional strength left to write one either. But what do you do when every day a violent incident claims several precious lives and you find yourself absolutely helpless? I have even tried to...

Excellent post - echoes my belief that the terrorist attacks are largely due to the entrenched support network in our midst - thanks to a 'large amount of space' given to the jihadis in the past by the military in close collaboration with religious elements like the JI and JUI. While I...
