Yo pakis - Forget Iran - what`s going on in Baloch land?..... NYT says some big time civil war - with artilleries and sh!t flying around..... even fighter jets.... who uses fighter jets and artillery on their own people?.... I mean - with all jihad going in kashmir - Indian Army never used fighter jets or gunships or artillery....[from what I know]

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/02/world/asia/02pakistan.html?hp&ex=1143954000&en=aab741a2838b70f6&ei=5094&partner=homepage

``One visit makes it clear that, despite official denials, the government is waging a full-scale military campaign here. Rebel leaders say they have several thousand men under arms, fighting what they estimate are 23,000 Pakistani troops.

During a 24-hour trek on camel, horse and foot across the rugged, stony terrain in early March, the fighting was plain to see. Military jets and surveillance planes flew over the area, and long-range artillery lighted up the distant night sky.``

``Pakistan Army under the command of crusaders will be sent to control the shiites of Syria and Jordan. ``

Would they send ALL the army there? Who will save Pakistan from Shia sunni fasad?

I will be glad if the Pak army is sent to Jordan.

What else the Joytish says?

Or the Najoomi says...

Western powers did not allow Iran`s Mussadig an independant oil industry either ... so why would they allow nuclear?

There may still be a last minute deal a`la N. Korea. But, North Korea PLUS China could kick America`s ass good and proper, and change the world order all over again. If Iran goes to war it will be burning its boats.

The US & Western propaganda machinery, like NY Times, Wash. post, ABC, Fox and like are quite passive about Iran. Normally the propaganda starts abot 18 to 24 months in advance and they start turning their enemies into demons and monsters. I do not see it happening. Which means that United Satans are not selling this war to their people yet.

In case war does happen some time in future then military dictator of Pakistan will definitely provide basis to Western crusaders thus igniting a shai sunni civil war in Pakistan. Crusaders will threaten Iran with a nuclear strike in case it decides to retailiate and starts attacking western military bases in Iraq and Emirates. It will unite the shia belt from Pakistan to Iran to Afghnaistan to Syria, Jordan, Turkey, :Labanon, Saudi Arabia, and North Africa and conflict will really turn into a WWIII. Now according to Evengelist Christian profecies this is a pre-condition for Rapture. As the conflict will intensify, Pakistan Army under the command of crusaders will be sent to control the shiites of Syria and Jordan. And as the Muslim prophecies of this Armagadon entail, the turn of events (I do not know how) will cause this Pakistani (`Hindi` as per prophecies) to strike against Israel with a Nuclear attack. So I think if crusaders decide to go this path and do attack Iran then their first priority will be to disarm Pakistan from its nuclear weapons. But as the Muslim prophecy entails, it won`t happen. Logically, if we look at the current state of the world, the nuclear weapons are the only gurantee that Pak Army has that it survives and thrives as a mafia. Mushraf may be Pakistan`s Gorbachev but he is no idiot. (I hope so, but I am not sure).

As much as I hope against it, a war is definitely coming if Iran doesn`t give up it`s quest for nukes. And it won`t be from the Iraq playbook. It`ll be from the Kosovo playbook. High-tech, made for TV war with bombs being dropped from planes. The Iranian AF and Navy will be gone in a week.

Similar thing happened to Afghanistan


Umm..a tad revisionist, n`est ce pas?

What happened in AFghanistan is that after the soviet war, you Pakis used the islamic fundamentalists taliban to further your strategic depth wet dreams and in the process, brought death and destruction fo the hapless afghan people...


can say with some surety that Pakistan will allow Americans to attack Iran from Pakistan border.


You couldn`t stop America from attacking Pakistan....forgotten bajaur already?


And after Pakistan, Turkey is the only country that can be utilized nicely


ANd why not Iraq?

Iran is asking for it. This war isn`t going to be like Iraq war for occupation. Just the destruction of its economy and nuclear infrastructure.

By the way, does any one have any doubt about Iran’s nuclear intentions?

Pakistan could support a war directed against Iran - with all the nice words uttered by our F.O because we have sold our skins to US for some billion dollars and pieces of junk from the US of A .
Our so-called `Leader- Prevez Mushraff` is in a stage where he would do whatever to save his presidency & power , even if he has to allow US forces stationed in Pakistan for a attack on Iran . Obviously, no one wants us to follow Irans foreign policy of isolation but a policy in which relations are not between two leaders ( Bush and Mush ) but relations are between two nations ( US and Pakistan ) and that too with equality and self-respect where if , in US airports Pakistans are asked to take there shoes off , US citizens should be asked to do the same in Pakistan , where if US forces come and attacks who-over inside our nation , we should go for them in Afghanistan or other bases - history has shown us that if you treat US as a equal partner they will be good to you & as soon as you treat them as masters they will ask to you lie down .
@ harish_hyd,
the sunnis, shiyas, christains, hindus - moderates,extremists, everyone will act same on any attack on Iran - reaction would be of extreme to every party involved -
and this is comming from a deobandi ..
cheers

Baghdad has taught Vietnam amnesiac Americans a lesson that they will not forget so soon -- to restart re-learning in Tehran --

the horrible consequences for European oil thru the gutted bottleneck of Hormuz will tie the hands of Haliburton`s Halaku Khan .......and our George of the Jungle -- and their Aipac tail wagging the dog`s dogs -- away from another of their demented bloody misadventures....period.

despite the de ja vu.....
