Re: # 2
come on sir! you are being unbelievably naive, you only have to read saeed Minhas's article on this joke of this Pakistani citizen not being deported to Saudia. You fail to understand the delicacy of the situation in which Pakistan has a last chance to survive as a viable state, and our Saudi well wishers understand it too well. Many people might have benefitted unduely from the concept of Pakistan idealogy, and many may have suffered unjustly, but one has to choose clearly between loyalty to the country or loyalty to transnational idelogies.

tariq saab,

The last para of your article is really pathetic, you do not seem to understand the new ideas embraced by the people of pakistan. You lament the old friendships in a neighborhood and think that was great. How about the new trans national ones forged by the pakistanis, muslims from all ovcer the world are coming top pakistan to study in pak madrasas and become jihadis, and how about their brotherhood, any day better than the friendship that you talk about.

Pakistan is better, all the more international and globally influential than your world view of frog in a well. Celebrate the new pakistan, the latest pakistan where even a pakistani citizen can get deported to saudi. Think of its implications, saudi is part of pakistan, a place where any pakistani can be dumped, the guntanamo bay of pakistan, a colony of pakistan.

yuN he saa tha koi jis ne mujhe mita dala
Na koi chaand ka tukra, na koi zehra jabeen
