Why would India be your enemy or attempt to invade Pakistan? They are doing great, 4th largest economy in the world, largest democracy in SW Asia, etc.? India is busy making money!

In response to AUz, simply stating your opinions and prejudices does not create facts. I have provided publicly the facts you simply defy and ignore because the facts of Desert Storm I and Desert Storm II do not agree with what you "wish" to believe are the facts. Therefore it is a waste of...

Well said! Ah, but India is now one of the largest democracies and free world economies and is a part of the mega plan that Pakistan has agreed to in this matter.

You exhibit no first hand on the scene experience and are mistaken in much you "think and say." As regards the 1947 UN recognized establishment of the nation of Israel that's a fact which flowed from the Balfour Declaration following WW I. Check your history text book. I agree that Iraq was...

China hopes to get Iranian oil via the new port of Gwadar. China did not and does not invest heavily in such infrastructure without a self benefit of huge size at the end of the day.

You come up short regarding the history of Iraq: 1. Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait and Northern Saudi Arabia in 1991. 2. US and her allies, including Pakistan, reacted against Saddam, driving him out militarily. 3. Saddam agreed to an Armistice which bound him to remain peaceful thereon out...

So now instead of China being the "guiding light" for Pakistan/perhaps much of the world you admit that China while definidtely a major economic engine is also a totalitarian state politically. And you think Pakistan prefers a totalitarian model vs. a free world model such as the US? I merely...

The "psychology" of the Great Wall of China was the keep the rest of the world "out." Today China is a mixture of a "free enterprise zone" which causes it to be the largest investor in US government bonds, stocks, and such, while at the same time trying to build a world power size military...

China financed construction of the new major seaport of Gwadar, together with it's new connecting railroad lines intended to facilitate cargo and passenger movements within, thru, and out of Pakistan into both India, Afghanistan, and Iran.

During this weekend the new Ukraine interim government in Kiev has invited a shared national government cabinet and such with greater participation by Ukrainian nationals who are of Russian ethic origin. A good idea but right now with ethnic insults flying it might be too little, too late...

Until the unneeded and unwated 1965 India-Pakistan War, the US was increasingly helping Pakistan across the board. In particular I recall a chicken egg productin program sponsored by facutly from the University of Connecticut in suburban Karachi, as but one example.

Your unawareness of Communist China's annexation of Mongolia; Tibet; their failed attempt to invade India circa 1960, the list goes on and on, is "dumb founding." The US did not achieve historically and statistically what some might define as a "super power status" until after WW II, which...

China, by the way, has numerous "troubles" in fact. Persecution of Chinese Muslim minorities. Trouble with the official Chinese currency. Inflation. National birth control policy that might well be described as brutal. Riots for a more democratic nation as evidence in recent years in...

Russia's Navy is ported at Sevastopol, just as the US Navy has a large seaport at Guantanamo, Cuba. Same principle broadly speaking. However, the US cannot and would not move ground forces outside the base and take control of airports and cities, as the Russians have done. But again, the...

1. As of Friday, 28 Feb., 2014 I have only found slides of time spend in Karachi. 2. What I am still looking for "buried somewhere in our house" is a color snap shot booklet with pictures of camel rides on the beach; a photo of the Papal Internuncio's house also on the beach in Karachi...

President Obama just spoke for a brief 4 minutes on live TV here in the US about events to date/today in Ukraine, particularly in the Crimea where Russia maintains a navy base at Sevastopol. As with Pakistan and India, likewise with the US, Russia, Ukraine, and the European Union nations...

See Battle of Berlin at end of WW II. See current Battle of Damascus in Syria, as well as City of Homs (spelling?). You are looking to pin down in whatever location the terrorists are and then taken the out. Otherwise you have abdicated the field to the enemy. Understand I am not, never was...

Unhappily urban fighting goes back in all recorded history. Karachi in my humble outsiders view does need large numbers of Army troops to augment their very tiny local police force (10,000 or so) and Rangers (numbers unknown to me). In "the old days" the Army did come in (under Ayub Khan)...
