The failed state

FAKIR S. AYAZUDDIN
It is indeed a pity that we are being placed at par with Eriteria and Sudan, by the economists who I understand pointed out the same statistics to the Prime Minister. Our redoubtable Foreign Minister is supposed to have responded with: “What rubbish, we are a nuclear State, how can we be called a failed state?” the Oxbridge logic there fails me, or I should assume that GOING NUCLEAR has now put as at par economically with the other Nuclear states, the analogy is not very clear.

The “WE SHALL EAT GRASS” slogan worked in the past, following the roti, kaptra and makaan line, but the people are beginning to realise that these are empty slogans, except some of us are closer to eating grass than our rulers in Islamabad would have us think.

The Men who would NEVER know too much!
Alternate Title:
For Whom the Mushy Cries!

“…None of the generals involved in the genocide has ever been brought to trial, and all remain at large in Pakistan and other countries. Several movements have arisen to try to bring them before an international tribunal…..”


Whether or not Pakistan is a failing state may be open to debate!

But there is no doubt regarding the following.

When it comes to being accountable for their misdeeds….

Pakistanis are ALWAYS in a flailing state!

The distressed desired dearie defies the salivating mullah’s motherly embrace – of permanent inescapable love and the promises of eternal salvation! Never will cease the shockers for the jokers!

Godot,


``I am of the opinion that Salim is benign.``

You are a very good judge of people... I agree with that...

Salim_Chauhan`s effervesence and wit and HP`s sharp analytical skills are a treat . I really wish that we benefit more from their positive & enlightening inter-acts.

“I did not see any post from you when jaipuri/lucknavi was running around calling people names and making fun of ethnicities...”

That’s because I am of the opinion that Salim is benign. He comes across as not only very intelligent and witty (not to mention knowledgeable,) but as very kind-hearted. He is rough when attacked. The irony seems to be that he has Punjabi blood but is defending non-Punjabis by attacking his own kind. How can one not respect his honesty and sincerity?

And no, I don’t like Salim attacking ethnicities, either. I think Pakistan has enough problems already. By flaming ethnic hatred within would most certainly dismember it in a bloodbath. I don’t think any thinking Pakistani, you among them, would want that. To quote a great leader: United we stand, divided we fall.

Okay, dude. I believe you. I do think you are pretty intelligent and certainly not a bigot. It`s between you and Salim. But don`t make your attacks on Salim too broad. You don`t come across as very cool.

Godot,
Relax…I have not said anything disparagingly anywhere abt anyone’s ethnicity.

A joke is a joke…Not being from Lucknow is not an attack on ethnicity.

Lucknavi/jaipuri has been lying far too long…

HP

When you start attacking ethnicity based on your dislike of one individual (presumably Salim,) your intelligence becomes questionable and your opinions not worthy of respect.

I think you are intelligent enough to understand that.

[…who will send you scurrying back into the open & welcoming arms of a mulla….]

Yes, of course! Like a mother’s love – the embracing arms of the mullah gently stroke the baby to sleep – or at least into a dazed state – where all the questions go away for sleep is the ultimate answer to all questions!

O, what a mother those mullahs make!!

Like mothers, they nurture those hate-potters!

Like mothers, they give them their hot prose!

Like mothers, they give their thoughts half pennies!

Like mothers, they watchfully guard those hot properties!

And like mothers, they watch from behind burqa as fight the “hero performers”!

So, that’s what it is!

Go for it, HP man!

Or perhaps one should say - go for it, HP baby!

Boom boom, inspite of the smarts of the fruit of the loom may have hit you with a broom.

So go scurry and lap up that mullah curry!

Go, baby, go!

Oooh-oooh, baby, baby…!
