Thatz called political manouvering! You are so blinded in your hatred against Musharraf, its not even worth my time to argue. Cheers!

Modern day democracy isn't about killing opponents or those who hold different views or in one's view have done something wrong. A fair trial is their fundamental right. However, Nawaz Sharif had struck a deal with Musharraf of his own free will to go to Saudi Arabia in exile. He must now...

India lags behind China drastically in a lot of respects today. For example, Indian manufactured goods exports were $71b while Chinese exported worth $713b!

I, for one am not obsessed with it. I say, lets solve it and move on. I care more about the 164 million Pakistanis who have been deprived of those resources that the Kashmir issue has gulped down its throat.

As far as I know, even the BBC has not outrightly pointed the finger at Pakistani intelligence agencies but I guess the Indian press are only too trigger happy and are quick to start pointing fingers before even establishing what really transpired. Kudos to yellow journalism.

The millions of Pakistanis who support him.

Kashif, please post the link as well. Secondly, even the BBC has not 'named' anyone or even talked about their correspondent being 'abducted'. This sensational claim by this media outlet must really be selling their newspapers or having exaggerated hits on their website!

1. 'Quality' of people? Its more about passing the exam for a certain position in the armed forces than one's 'qualities'. If you pass the exam, you are groomed to nurture specific qualities in you even if you lack them at first. So that arguement, IMHO, doesn't hold. 2. Its a problem because...

What sigatoka seems to be forgetting is the main point I wanted to raise! Its not about killing their pensions totally but about limiting it to parity with what goes on economically in the non-military part of the society. Secondly, there is NO reason given by him or even argued for the fact...

Really? From the top of my head (without even thinking) I can point one private school and one private university owned by the armed forces in Karachi for starters. 1) Army Public School and 2) Bahria University.

I believe there are different Bahria assets in different cities. You misunderstood my point. I didnt say personal bank accounts of individual soldiers are kept loaded; I meant to say that these commercial projects feed the army's non-essential expenditure resulting in lavish life-styles of...

Apparently, it has already begun challenging the US diplomatic clout in the Asian region. Just one example; talks with North Korea were centred around China! Chinese Navy (PLAAN) subs regularly go on reconnaisance petrol, at times as far as the islands of Japan. Just last week a Chinese sub...

You don't fail in battle when you werent there in the first place to engage the enemy! Now you run out of arguements. You 'dont think' is different from 'it cannot be done'. The arguements for the demilitarization are very clear; you come up with a treaty or some form of joint-document and...

Do tell me how Pakistan 'failed' in Siachen since it was not there in the first place to counter the Indians. Who cares if such a thing is written down? Perhaps the very Kargil scenario should serve as an example! The 1972 Line of Control is a result of 'written' documents which the...

You can continue the fruitless exercise of tit-for-tat replies but I simply have no time for these immature overtures. Cheers!

Precisely why Pakistan says, 'write it down!' so that neither side takes the demilitarization as an opportunity to sneak back in. Pakistan doesn't want the ground positions marked, not because it has any sinister designs but for the simple fact that it would legitimize Indian control of...

It remains to be seen. So far 'you' havent been able to get 'us' to do as such.

Very simple example; Pakistan isn't vying for a permanent seat at the UN, India is! But it has border issues with nearly all of its neighbours and those are potential 'ignition sources'. It weakens India's position vis-a-vis the more peace-oriented states vying for the same spot such as Japan...

Demilitarize! Indians go home and so do the Pakistanis.

Your use of the term 'boy' for me would make me believe you are nearing your grave with regards to age? Sure the enthusiasm on the Indian side is less but they very well know that until they solve core disputes with Pakistan, there can be no progress in relations and India's inability to make...
