Yes, and that is why parliamentary system has to go. I have gone over the math of the thing and the parliamentary system gives overwhelming advantage to such owners. A presidential system greatly reduces the power of such owners. You see, a large chunk of Pakistan is truly free and live in towns...

Well, we have to start somewhere, no? The current system has clearly failed and has big shortcomings. I know what you are trying to say though. At any rate, this is how Jinnah had made the Pakistan (Governor General). It was only later that Feudal took over and made it into a dysfunctional...

Not if voting is direct. Zardari might get votes in his village but he will get zero votes in other parts of the country. On the other hand some one like IK is guaranteed to win against him since he is popular with people. On the other hand in parliamentary system people like Zardari have...

Actually I do not see it that way. If our people had the chance to directly elect a leader they would do much better a job than now. If it was a presidential system, more honest people would come forward as presidential candidate. Today if an honest and clever guy who really loves Pakistan would...

Unfortunately yes. But we have to remember that it is not only our fault. Our religious scholars have failed to research and bring up a viable modern Islamic political theory. Majority of Pakistan does not want to live under Taliban but they do not want to live an infidel life either. So a...

It is not really a major overhaul, neither it is a revolution. It is just a change in constitution. Though this can only be done by a mass public movement as the current corrupt MNA's will never do it. It should be similar to the lawyer movement which caused the last constitutional amendment...

Well, we can not fool ourselves that our society is not Muslim. For 90% of our people Islam is the most important part of their life, whether we like it or not. We can not just become a communist country. Those Islamic values are not wahabi values you are talking about. It is just that our laws...

Linux is safe because it is open source. Every one can see its source code. Windows on the other hand has numerous back doors built into it. Only a linux or even better a Minix based system is going to be secured. You can never trust US to give you a clean Windows system. I would personally...

I know what you are saying. But China is a hybrid communist/capitalist system. Pakistan has a different history and this would not work here. The best bet for Pakistan which is still a conservative Muslim state, is going to be a socialist democratic system based on Islamic values. As for...

Mods, there is some mistake (on my part?), this thread should be in Iran section but some how is in Indian section. Please move it if it not too much of work.

Israel is not going to attack Iran in summer or in winter. In summer the fuel consumption of planes suck and they need more refueling as well as any downed pilot in Iranian desert will be at more risk. In winter the Iranian weather can be harsh too specially in mountains and this is going to be...

I also think presidential system is going to be better for Pakistan. Though one party system is not going to do any good. The more parties the better, as it gives people choice. We need a very powerful president who is secured and protected even after retirement so he does not need to be scared...

No, not really. Chief justice is just going to advise the parliament. And winning a 4/5 majority in parliament and senate is not going to be an easy task unless there is some serious flaw with the president. And since Chief Justice is only for 3 years, and president has power over him/her when...

Primarily, yes, the constitution has to be amended to change the system. What I had in mind was complete separation of legislative and executive branch. The presidency being elected by a direct vote of the public from a list of candidates put forward by all registered political parties. There...

What do you think? Which system is better for Pakistani political culture? I know both are successful systems in different countries but in Pakistan wherein corruption and nepotism is in charge, which system has the capacity to deliver more? Currently in Pakistan's parliamentary system, the...

It is incredibly stupid of Iran keep using Microsoft Windows. They should have moved to use Linux and develop their own anti virus. Without that they will always be attacked, everything they say in front of the computer will be listened to by NSA:

Iran uncovers Stuxnet-style Flame attack Iran claims to have uncovered a new high-profile malware attack targeting its IT systems called Flame, following on from the Stuxnet and Duqu attacks dating back to 2010. The Iranian Computer Emergency Response Team (Maher) revealed it had discovered...

Hi, Sorry but I am not the best person to get advice on this since I know nothing of accountancy. I have a career in science and can only advise you on that. Sorry again.

First of all, Nobel prize or Turing prize is not an impartial way of looking at science output. It is a western thing. They never gave Iqbal a nobel prize since he was a true Muslim. And Iran's rise to science is recent and you are talking about past. As I have posted in first page of this...

You are so dim witted. Your own illegitimate country's missile defense director is saying that Iran has mastered the rocket science. Here, read his article: Showcase of Missile Proliferation: Iran
