The figures for the "poor" aren't necessarily reflective of the state of poverty in a nation. Human development indicators of most types are lagging indicators; taking years before they are start reflecting the true state of a nation and it's economy and people. If India maintains anywhere near...

Really good point. Electronic jamming is where the American's are leaps and bounds better than the rest of the world. Due to the nature of the tech, it is also easier to hide and be secretive about. No nation in the modern world has been able to withstand it so far. While we may see a massive...

My Pakistani brethren need to realize that no one is going to help us out of the corner we have found ourselves in. The Chinese will not risk their chance at true prosperity for the interests of any other nation. And our foreign policy is, in no way, comparable to that of India. They chose...

Agree with you completely. My only point was simply, the British only allowed colonial states the right to independence at a time when they were no longer in a position to hold them by force. No different from a struggling corporation laying off employees. My pointless rant about the hardships...

It's all in the name of accountability. I would expect the same from Pakistan. There is so much misunderstanding in this world, that, were nations just willing to concede a little in the form of truth and accountability, we wouldn't have half the conflicts in the world. As a huge fan of the...

Where is the media hoopla over this? Are innocent Pakistanis killed by Iranians worth less than innocent Pakistanis killed by the Americans? We have a hypocritical relationship with the US, but far too often we let Iran get away with actions that show a disregard for Pakistan in the name of a...

Wow, there you go again. Enough with the crap, I have posted many times on anti Indian threads, in support of Indians...I respect the country and it's people greatly. I have also made clear my interest in friendlier relations with the US, a nation for all it's faults, a beacon for...

Mr. JayAtl, do you ever tire of posting articles that negatively reflect on nations that you have no stake in? On top of that, you refuse to quit till you incite extreme reactions from people, while you sit around and enjoy the show. You do play your part well though, flip flopping your...

I don't know why this is considered such a big deal. I think what is more amazing is the lack of losses the Americans have suffered in their extensive use of Drones. The Iranians may be able to gain technical know how, but I find that unlikely...to gain something from an aircraft so advanced...

I don't think Argentina had any realistic claim to the islands...it was just the most convenient method to shift blame from domestic problems and an unstable government. On the other hand, what was there to be gained in fighting a war over land so far away from Britain? It almost seemed like the...

That last part is misleading though isn't it, Chogy? Post WWII, the British rapidly declined as a world power. When the British had the fire power, they were unwilling to concede anything. Their compliance to the wishes of local citizens were just an acceptance of a new world order, where they...

We have two squadrons of jf-17s already in service. At this point, what is the relevance of this argument beyond purely academic point scoring? The PAF must live with the decision for better or worse...in my opinion, world events keep vindicating the Pakistani decision to distance itself from...

You seem to be sorely misguided in your understanding of the Korean War. The Americans dismissed one of their most decorated Generals because he was hellbent on taking the war into China. It had nothing to do with fear of China, but a general interest in avoiding prolonging and globalizing a...

Isn't such a green light going to exponentially increase the chances of more NATO bombing runs in our territory? We have seen when NATO forces even sense trouble...or even a tummy ache for that matter...they will not hesitate to call in air strikes. Actively firing in their direction seems to be...

There in lies the problem for modern day America. As the preeminent power in the world, it has to answer to no one. This creates a certain recklessness or a very short term view point of global politics. The US have, in the past as well, alienated entire nations due to the inability to grasp the...

I agree with you on many points, but I was just saying there is a massive disconnect between the common man and the leadership. Zardari and Kayani act like they are against these strikes, but then allow them virtually free of cost. The Air force is there to protect the nation, while you and me...

What is justified? We keep asking for fairness, but the world has never been about fairness...as the pre WWII Germans will attest to. We are dealing with a coalition that is far stronger in ever way, than us. They dictate the terms of this relationship, if we don't like them, we should have...

I think there is a need for our leadership, civilian and military, to come out and pick a side. The problem in any arguments presented comes down to the lack of real direction from the leadership. On one hand, America is allowed complete access over Pakistani airspace, and on the other, the...

hmmm...Why should Kayani resign? He has done an excellent job....as a politician. Every time anything has gone wrong, he has blamed, everyone, from Zardari to the Americans. That is a mark of a great politician, to never take blame for anything. Now that he has turned the Pakistani public...

That is really very true about the Americans. They will obviously never give their top of the line technology, but because the American technology is so far ahead of the rest of the world...even the stripped down f-16s they sold us (relative to their own), were lethal aircraft that made the...
