Unfortunately, no matter how much you pretend to act 'balanced' in your posts, the biased hatred peeps through quite clearly which is why you get carried away when commenting on negative aspects of Pakistan. Let's take your assertion that Pakistan has 'none' of the institutions like a press...

I could sit back with some popcorn and a drink to see you two going at it with each other all day long while neither of you realize you hardly make sense at times! Carry on..

I had only begun to read this rather lengthy 'story' and turns out I do not intend to go any further since the writer doesn't even know what he/she is writing about as evident from the quoted text. There is no link given either.

Lets be rational rather than emotional here. No one's taking orders from Washington. You seem to be towing the MMA line? Do tell me what they would do if in power? Declare war on the US? I didn't think so either. Realpolitik doesn't work by being naive enough to label certain policy...

Still 50 Su-33s for $2.5b sounds a bit too good to be true deal. I'd reserve my comments until this report is confirmed by more reliable sources.

I have only one saying for Mr Sharif, 'dhobi ka kutta, na ghar ka, na ghaat ka'.

Every nation's soldier who dies fighting for his/her country is a martyr for that country. Indian soldiers dying for their country, would be considered martyrs there. And how exactly do you know our soldiers are more death-daring that their Indian counterparts? Perhaps you should read up a...

Precisely because that is what they can do, surprise 'ancient' aircraft. Current P-3Cs have all been upgraded to US Navy standards and there is no reason why they should be 'surprised' as their predecessors with their inferior technology were. Plus, Pakistan is acquiring Erieyes and...

Just for starters, Egypt gets about $1.5b a year. Of course there would be strings attached. If my country was giving so much aid to another country, I'd expect something in return. The fact of the matter is, the Taliban and Iraqi insurgents are not a distinct group anymore. They, not...

Lets just make one thing VERY CLEAR. What existed before was an Islamic EMPIRE and not a STATE. What we have today is a MIX of Islamicate Nation-States and States. Learn the difference! The days of the Empire are long gone!

People, problem with Mr Salahuddin is, he is a brain-washed ONE WAY street and so full of contradictions. In one post, he talks about 'no compulsion in religion' and in other posts, he wants a Khilafat even if its against the wishes of the people living in a particular country and force Islamic...

Yes Islamic world progressed because at the time its society wasnt hijacked by extremists and self-proclaimed 'puritans'. Culture flourished as well as philosophical and intellectual ambition of the society which was eventually killed by these 'puritans' and the decline of the Islamic world...

What the US is doing is simply wrong and against human values. But what fanatics do in the name of Islam is equally reperhensible. Beheadings and what not. Burning flags and effigees instead of launching proper civilized protests. Thing is, when the extremist lot of our Muslim community start...

Quite contrary to what you believe, the reality is others overtook Muslims in technology in science because they educated themselves and provided 'space' for each activity such as religion, culture, etc which is in sharp contrast to what Muslim societies did. Fundamentalists started IMPOSING...

Enough of the ranting already. Musharraf is doing what is in the best interests of Pakistan. If Pakistan was not on the US' good side, we would certainly face a bleak future given the isolationist and exclusivist agenda of fanatics like you. People like you do not believe in the notion, 'live...

Thats the thing, Mr Salahuddin thinks from his heart like most fanatics and not his 'brain'; or atleast that is the impression I get from reading his posts so far. I'd advice him to read some Political Science material and how society as well as democracy developed in the western world before...

Musharraf is not being discussed here. What is being discussed are the commercial stakes of the Pakistani military apparatus. The Bahria, Shaheen and DHA housing schemes, Fauji Foundation (includes factories from the production of cereals to cement), etc etc. Armed forces are NOT for commercial...

I realize, your lack of debating etiquettes mires your ability to argue without using foul language. Secondly, the piece you quoted needs a 'link'. And what you have stated so far, has only confirmed my suspicion that you do not know anything about military strategy but are dying to be...

This has become old news in concerned circles. I believe the civilian media got their hands on it quite late.

The entire world doesn't really need a 'revolultion' so to speak. The European model of democracy is working pretty well the world over. It is us, the Islamic world and its inhabitants that need a revolution since our current forms of government are incompetent and while we continue to reject...
