A welcoming news indeed. But I have to ask what kind of support are they planning to provide? Guerrilla warfare training perhaps, but that is something we provided them with, so we got that covered. Some nut-heads to blow themselves up during our fight against Americans? Well with Maulana...

When you have US as your ally, you understand that no outside power can influence your relationship with them. Its always their internal factors(senators, congressmen, voters etc) that dictate their relationship with other countries. China has no internal factors that an ally needs to worry...

And the world will stay neutral and do nothing about this grand plan. With NATO forces still in Afghanistan, this will mean open hostilities against them. Kunduz, seriously, thats a northern city. And have we not learnt our lesson that involving our own civilians in a proxy war whether in...

Both Federation and Punjab are not going to benefit from under-reporting the Karachi's population. It is just the PPP government which will benefit from this, as their power base is in rural Sindh and hence they would want more seats in those constituencies. So if the conspiracy theorists like...

So if the trend continues Afghan security forces will take about 20,000 casualties this year. With a total force of 375,000, this means 5.2 percent yearly attrition rate, its not sustainable. On top of this, desertions are a common thing in their security forces, so their situation looks quite...

and then Oh the irony of these two statements. If there is a bigot Sir, then that's you.

In a perfect world, yes the state should have monopoly on violence. But you are not living in a perfect world, are you? There are currently 4000 armed militias in your country, not counting the Taliban and other groups fighting the Kabul regime...

You miss the point I was trying to make. We can't change who we are, we don't want to change and we should not change. I know people in your country have a problem with Muslims because you believe they give more importance to their faith than their state. But that is what who we are, its not...

Perhaps for the fact that it will give your people an idea of what your western neighbor thinks about plight of Muslims. Here is the thing, the world hates us Muslims so they are indifferent to our plight. Whether they are westerners, Buddhists, Commies or Hindus, they all have a deep hatred...

Your first point is valid and yes Pakistan should be following this stance. By your second point, it seems you don't think any concessions should be given to Taliban. This will not work. See a few years back, Pakistani Taliban controlled much of our tribal areas and many settled districts of...

An excellent read. It is high time that we change our Afghan policy. Back in the 2001, I think our establishment made the grave mis-judgment of thinking Americans won't stay in Afghanistan for long. Whatever regime they setup in Afghanistan will eventually fall to Taliban, and hence we hedged...

dear sir, I only mentioned the pictures as the sensitive issue here, rest is fine with me and you have the right to express your beliefs. And thank you for removing those images. Loving Hazrat Ali(r.a) and ahl e bait (r.a) is part of our faith too, anyone who is enemy of Hazrat Ali (r.a) is...

Multan was never part of Punjab, they don't speak Punjabi there. It is only part of the current administrative division we call province of Punjab. It was a very positive news and should have been discussed in a productive manner but you could not take a joke, could you. And now it has all...

Well played sir. So a news about a young and promising Arab woman politician and all you could do is objectify her by talking about her looks. And through your expert level trolling you have turned the discussion to genetic makeup of Arab world, one full of racist remarks, and an Arab has...

Sir I don't question your motives for this post. You are a Shia living in a Shia-majority country so you can be oblivious to these sensitivities. But you are posting this on forum of a Sunni majority country. It is considered extremely blasphemous in our faith to show shabih (picture) of the...

Hahaha dear Lord, what does our eastern neighbor smoke these days for staying so high all the time. You see, ever since 71 we and US were never really allies. Its Afghanistan, that has kept us together. And actually the Afghan conflicts, no matter how devastating they have been for our society...

While I am a proponent of the theory that there should always been two independent Muslim states in the west and east of the sub-continent. I do wonder, if Pakistan was still united(a nation of 390 Million) would the Burmese be able to do these crimes against Muslims just across our borders? And...

There are three steps of Faith if you see injustice. First is to stop it by hand, if you can't then protest and if you can't do that then atleast acknowledge in your heart that it is wrong. So protesting is better than doing nothing. They are willing to foot the bill for the Rohingya refugees...

Sir it seems your grip on geo-politics is not that great, so let me put it in most layman terms. 1. We provide Saudis with Nuclear umbrella, mainly because they funded the bloody program. It is no secret that Saudis have nuclear aspirations, but under the current world scenario they can't...

While I don't like the tone of your argument but ignoring that for a moment, let's see your argument. What exactly is the probability of $200 per barrel. It is understood now that the oil will never even reach $100 ceiling ever again. Shale gas and renewable energy etc. Anyway if it does reach...
