The Calculus of Miscalculated Human Misery

bizarre, sort of like taking all kinds of headlines and editorials and putting them in a islamist blender. A thoughtless mish-mash of fact and fiction....

BTW you are from which school??

``Brig Gen (ret) Muhammad Aslam Khan Niazi

A recipient of sitara-e-imtiaz (military), had about 32 years of military career, is a defense analyst and now pursuing doctorate since 2002.``

I hope this makes things clearer

The writer calls himself as, ``..A recipient of sitara-e-imtiaz (military), had about 32 years of military career, is a defense analyst and now pursuing doctorate since 2002.``

In Pakistan lots of people call themselves as, ``Defence Analysts``. Could someone tell me what this job of ``Defence Analyst``. Is it really prestigious academic post, journalist, bazari talker1 or what?

K...It is not job or post. Get out of it some time. People with military background are given this name by our media, in my case when I appeared on PTV World Channel a couple of times. I am also published in local media once a while.
I hope your query is settled that has hurt you so much.

You must have got a A-Grade from your teacher in Pakistan for this essay writing competition on the topic ``Jihad as a response to clash of civilizations``!!

The basic conclusion from the War on Terror is that muslims just do not want to change. They do not want to change in Iran, Iraq, Afghaistan, Pakistan, anywhere. In fact, they simply want to regress further in the past. That is actually fine as long as they keep selling oil and do not bother non-muslims. After all, it is their prerogative if they want to continue living under theocracies and dictatorships while kicking around women and minorities.

From the US point of view, reforming the muslim world is over. Earlier it had notions that the muslim world might reform and catch up with everyone else in building a modern society. After the Iraq experience where sunnis and shias are happily butchering each other instead of builiding a democracy, the US doesnt really give a damn about it any more. The November elections are a testimonial to that.

The US and European goal is now going to be simple - quarantine muslims in the muslim world. Keep the muslim world stable and continue status quo. Dont let jihadies get the upper hand but dont change anything else either. Completely halt all immigration from muslim countries to non-muslim countries especially Europe. Every non-muslim country is now fortifying itself to protect itself from muslims. The US is focusing on border security, India already has very strong border controls against Pakistan and increasingly towards Bangladesh, Israel is completing a wall to keep out Palestinians permanently, Europe will reduce/eliminate muslim immigration and Turkish participation in EU, Russia and China are also strengthening against muslim influence. So the bottom line is going to be simple - a permanent physical/mental partition between muslims and non-muslims.
