Sir seriously, i assure you that was exactly i was thinking after the first couple of posts. We just recently lost a members in @Joe Shearer who left the forum because of some differences with members here on the forum. I bag loss as far as i am concerned as he was one guy it was always GREAT to argue with. He can convince you on different matters and it would never be a problem because you know that he can be convinced as well. What is right is right, no matter the flag of members it is coming from. Going through the initial few posts i was thinking may be we have found an other Joe however that do not seem to be the case anymore.
The way you have tried to drag all sorts of topics and issues in your posts i am not so confident anymore. From Afghan Taliban to Kashmir problems to Hafiz Saeed to general Pakistani people to what not. It is quite evident that you are just trying to beat about the bush on this one sir. I mean no disrespect but i wont hold back from sharing what i can see and observe.
While admiration is mutual i wont ask you to admire someone who is harming your country, all i expect is you are not full of praise for someone who you think is harming ours or that you understand the difference between someone harming your country and someone asking for his basic human rights!! Morally, they are never the same. Any sensible person can and will look into the root cause of things happening rather than making judgements.
Plus dear please note that i wont be the one who will say that whatever is happening wrong is because of US or anyone! I am always open to admit that mistakes have been made. We have had our share of screw ups, however if anyone thinks that it was us alone in all that mess, well, they are seriously wrong and need to acquire some knowledge of the things that happened in this region in the last few decades. So for the record, YES we have had our share of screw ups but we are by no means the only ones, not the front runners, NOT EVER CLOSE.
It is quite sad that killings in Kashmir do not concern you even though you claim that to be your integral part! It do concern me however. Just like the operation Zarb-e-Azab makes me touchy and emotional. yes it does!! It is MY PEOPLE fighting for MY PROTECTION against the terrorists. However i do not think you will understand that as you have already said what is happening in Kashmir do not effects or not even concerns you. These things are to be felt, not taught sir.
And no, WE (and not I ) are never hurt to core when you mention Modi. It is a delusions, the chest thumping that you witness that makes you feel that way janab. Frankly, and this will irk some of my Pakistani friends, it is just like mentioned of CEPC on our side. Also as i tried to explain this in the past as well, this is no election campaign where no publicity is bad publicity. The way your government screwed up big time in Kashmir, brought that subject back in lime light, the one you were quite successfully brushing under the carpet with EXCELLENT diplomacy for last few years is not something that will HURT any Pakistani at all. The even better part was when the issue of Kashmir was tried to be covered in talks and chants about Baluchistan. Seriously, i praise what good the Indian gov. have done for INDIA (i do not say INDIANS) however i still have no idea how could they try something so stupid. You are comparing an issue on which two nuclear armed nations have fought wars three times with some local unrest and problem created by a handful of tribal leaders who have quite evident intentions and issues. It was quite hilarious if you ask me. It undone all that good work of past few years. Again i wont be stupid and blind to say that it will now remain in our favor for ever. Being a HUGE market and an economic power India is likely to regain that momentum but that is for then now, the initiative was lost, the speed at which Pakistan was being isolated is hindered. The more you try to cover that up (by you i mean gov. the more harm it is doing) Perhaps this is the reason that after FINALLY understanding this things have started to cool off gradually. It is worth to mention that all this time, KASHMIR KEPT BURNING. I am not mentioning this for you as you have said that this do not concern you so anyway.
Lolz, talking about how the worlds best agency was not able to locate Mansoor? Perhaps the same way the worlds best super power was not able to prevent Mumbai attacks from happening. Below the belt? Sorry sir but you and I both no how these things work. Have you ever studied the border situation and condition that Pakistan and Afghanistan share? Now if as per there claims we are hiding Afghan Taliban and they proliferate through the porous border to carry out attacks inside Afghanistan, do you think there is a non return valve on the border that wont allow the Afghan Talibans or TTP to proliferate into Pakistan and carry out attacks here? The best way to this is to monitor the border as best as possible and a fence is a good mean to do so but then again the same people who claim that it is Pakistan who nourishes terrorists on its soil and send them to Afghanistan wont agree with Pakistan's proposal to increase the monitoring of the border and build a fence. The reasons are not something i need to explain.
