This sort of rationale gives Israel the psychological assurance to cause any atrocities it wants. Every country in the world is accountable for their action which is why there is the UN. Unless Israel and the Palestinians know what is at stake, there is no chance of peace. Why will Israel seek...

Local politics very much matter to the US for its own interest. There is no doubt that the wikileaks have some credibility because the points mentioned was seen when Senator Kerry showed "concern" about the vigilant attack on Yunus. It was also discussed by a few others US politicians whose...

West's foreign policy in Iran is a blunder starting from the beginning. It preaches democracy, but when a democratically elected leftist government was elected, it was removed by the CIA and the Shah was installed who later worked against the west's interest.It is the west's greed for oil solely...

Do you see the irrationality in your argument? If anyone from the muslim faith labelled all jews as "evil" and used this argument, what would your reaction be? Might seem self satisfying to you, but not good enough to use in the international community which mostly consists of countries which...

To me, it seems you are concluding based on effects rather than the actual causes. I am really sorry about your experience in the Middle East but to indulge into such ideologies based on personal experience does not justify its basis. The notion in the west that Islam wants to wipe out Israel is...

Is it just me or is this ambassador a bit pro awami league. For example, when he talks about Tareque or anyone in opposition, he uses harsher words compared to when he described Abul Hossain where he just claimed he's "less than an honest man"

You seem to loose the ground reality of the causes. Check out wikileaks and how the US has funded the oppositions in Syria by the millions. The funding of the opposition in Iran is very well known and the US does not deny it. Even I remember reading somewhere how the ISI intercepted documents...

A revolution in Iran would be devastating. The country has gotten so far and made the economy almost self reliant. But the US has been funding the opposition in Iran worth hundreds of millions of dollar. If the people are really oppressed and things get bad( Idoubt they are as they claim), then...

You are indeed right, but why did we have to wait for something which even Pakistan allowed even after a few years after the break up. Why wait so long for such a gullible government as this to sign the deals? Anyways, I actually support mutual relationship with India, and given the deals with...

BBC News - India and Bangladesh seek higher trade to boost relations "arments push One of the key sectors that has long been a contentious issue is garment exports. Bangladesh is among the world's leading apparel exporting countries. About $18bn worth of Bangladeshi garments were shipped...

Let me see, we cannot export our garments because it will drive out the local markets. We cannot have Bangladeshi channels there but our media is filled with indian outlet. Sounds like one way all right.

Dear Manmohan Singh, welcome to Bangladesh. This welcome is not just on behalf of one hospitable people to another but also to the prime minister of the country that matters most to Bangladesh. In 40 years, our relationship has gone from bad to worse to tolerable to smooth to everything else...

I am the exact opposite.Iraq is the only reason why I liked him later on and again I should mention my biasness due to my close friends from Kurds origins whose parents had suffered the Saddam regime.

Your figure 90% is nowhere near the truth. Most of the African countries on a consistent civil war although they have much more natural resources than the entire middle east, which are mostly taken by big corporations like Shell. Even the highest suicide bombers belong in Sri Lanka. I don't...

just got my tickets.. so freaking expensive though!

When Bangladesh is facing severe electricity crisis for years, a power plant in private sector established by a Malaysian company named Westmont Group has allegedly been grabbed by the husband of the younger sister of Bangladeshi Prime Minister, causing suspension of production. This 90-megawatt...

I think you are being highly selective with information to come to your conclusion and I don't really blame you, given the anti india perception you get to observe mostly here. But in the long term, assuming that previous elections were fair and representative, most of the Bangladeshi voters are...

Operation Searchlight was because of the great bengali movement which the Bengali people has been deprived of. Mujib won the most of the seats in the parliament and rightfully, Bengalis have protested. The discrimination and the injustices we faced during that time are no "propaganda" or "made...

You are gravely mistaken. BNP was never anti India. Go through BNP's regime and you will find India/Bangladesh relations were mutual. Matter of fact, it was the Indian leader who decided to not attend the Saarc thing back during the BNP regime, because of "terrorism threats" (wink wink). It was...

The logic that we should be Muslims first and bengalis second never made sense to me. We are both at the same time and the differentiating is mainly for political purposes. Even the muslims in India consider themselves both at the same time and refuse to prioritise one over the other...
