While not dismissing your view altogether, if we cannot even protest without the double dealing rascals of various political parties leading the way....how can we bring about a change? Have you seen a million men marching to Islamabad in protest of not just drone strikes but power shortages...

When we as a nation are afraid to confront the crazy clerics and their followers who promote sectarian violence and intolerance in the name of Islam which we claim to hold so dear...i guess we are as much responsible for the events that have led us to this point in time. We are cowards as...

General Hameed Gul is one of the most incompetent and self obsessed general to lead ISI. His qualification was constant TC of Zia and his knack for corruption. If we have anyone in Army to blame for worsening the situation of Pakistan in terms of militancy and sectarian violence, Gen Gul is...

FATA is part of Pakistan is it not? Are we advocating action against people of FATA or militants all over Pakistan? Why then do you harp the same tune again and again. Your assumption that people in FATA are happy with the militants roaming around are quite off the mark and similar to what...

The americans carried out a unilateral assassination operation in Pakistan which is illegal in many ways. No sympathy towards OBL, however the operation was not legitimate. The wreckage left behind is in our custody. No need for the ambassador to make a fool of himself. A simple "No...

In what capacity has this moron issued a statement in this regards? Truly amazing how this guy is singing like a Canary in USA at a time like this when we need to be very careful about our statements.

Salaams All this time and i did not realize you were not on my friends list. lolz... Thanks for the invite bro. Regards

I am only claiming that we knew about the operation, nothing less and nothing more. I also do not think that post OBL issue was handled as per some mutually agreed line of action. Does not make sense for us to paint ourselves in such a negative light. However the question is that if this...

Trust cannot be absolute on anybody and that goes for CIA as well, they shall serve their interests first and foremost. Nobody should be allowed to come to Pakistan without due clearance and background checks. Once we follow proper procedure, all of this can be avoided. No need to raise hue...

Pakistan can seek help from any country as long as we take action that is necessary and do not compromise on the objective, which should be to bring peace and prosperity to Pakistan and rid ourselves of militancy perpetrated by a few thousand "guns for hire" extremists. We should try our best...

Define our own people. Who are our own people? That is what you need to learn fast. You are only thinking in terms of US war in Afghanistan, I am thinking way ahead of that. It does not matter whether USA stays or leaves, if left unchecked the states within a state will only grow stronger...

Grow up! Your needless and baseless sarcasm may only serve to amuse yourself, at the obvious cost of any notion of respect you hope to gain. Learn some respect.

We should define our national policy in vivid terms and ensure that we base all our ties whether external or internal, based on our stability, prosperity and development. In this we need not only to rid ourselves of any slavery of the west in terms of our policy but also take on all the...

I think the question should be. "Should we act against all non State actors operating out of Pakistan regardless of past affiliations?" My answer is "Hell Yes". You see, these Militants despite using Islam as their banner have shown far more flexibility than us. They got paid in USD not so...

One thing that i shall like to explain to the members. Times have changed and our strategy which we used, needs to be revised in light of new developments. Not for sake of USA or rest of the world, but for our sake do we need to do this. We have exhausted many options, yet we are not letting...

Muse, Can you please quantify what needs to be done in this transition? I have spent a good deal of time on this thread and still have had no real answer as to what is being proposed in terms of enhancing the COIN capability of our state. I am not too sure about reducing manpower at this...

In being fair one has to be fair and not try to paint someone as absolute bad or good. When i ask him to resign or let go off the ISI head if it was indeed such a failure, i want him to do it to save the Army that he has done well to reorganize. Kayani really did a lot to lift the spirits of...

Despite the negative image of Pakistan, the Pakistanis are quite a resilient people and are no more passive. Many are waking up to the reality that they need a strong narrative and cannot allow such nonsense whereby our national strategy is non existent. However this awakening threatens not...

You sure are entitled to your opinion. However now that i have mentioned the credentials of this man, you read about him and would know why i name him, instead of anyone else. He is a charismatic figure who is not even remotely apologetic in killing the rascals who are burning this region and...

The manner in which we have handled the whole affair is incompetent and weak, to hide facts in order to not offend those who probably do not give a damn about Pakistan is really useless. Whatever policy we adopt in future, we have to be clear and non apologetic towards those who are not...
