Please read that as 'does' have a valid case.

As 'they' say: the truth will set you free.

Mr. Naqshbandi,

Disregard my abhorence for all things sufi. I'll drink a large glass of 'sattu' (and say cheers too) to your admission that we are 'zinda dil' folks!

And let us not forget Zeba Bakhtyar marrying and finally divorcing the over-grown Meiji baby!

the golden rule of geopolitics is and has always been, "jiski laaThi uski bhains" or "Whoever pays the piper calls the tunes"...In simpler terms: Might Is Right.

I guess we have to deal with it. It was ever thus...when the Chinese become the mightiest nation on Earth (by 2050 or so) do you think they'll be any nicer?

Re: # 111

Amen,

probably walking out of the coalition will be the only gurantee that they will have for their physical and political survival from now on. I think we have entered the final phase of the mortal combat between people and corrupt, pro-western, oppresive ruling elite.

Power to the People!!!!

the US looks after its own strategic interests first and foremost --and that is not surprising--and will do anything to further them just as other countries will. in the real world of realpolitick that is what matters and everything else and talk of human rights and power of the people via the ballot box is just pious bullshit.

Yes, sometimes, when the entirety of the people unite--e.g. in iran in 1979 -- even the best laid plans of the superpowers come to nothing but those are rare exceptions and not the rule...

that the oil pipeline with pak/india/iran is going ahead is good for pakistan...i hope it brings in lots of money and raises the living standards of the countless poor...if that means working with the devil in the process so-be-it.

you know many consider masadi a madman but when one reads what is actually out there and not in the mainstream media --e.g. the pulitzer prize-winning book , "Ghost Wars" or the book version of Charlie Wilson's War one realises just how far the tentacles of the US --via the CIA --actually reach in determining the fates of elections in other countries...
and that masadi mian may well have a valid case.

Tariq Aziz is not even a Muslim. He's a Coptic Christian. But yes, you're right.

Btw, Tariq Aziz (of Saddam fame) faces the death penalty for having a hand in punishing price hikers (who were sucking the blood of the people). He will be put to death if convicted...

Bush blames Congress for slowdown, wants to make taxcuts (trickle down) permanent, refuses to acknowledge that US is in recession.....and you want to talk about Zardari's waffling.....I told you where these perversions originate, and from there they trickle down to the military and political institutions of the slave countries...

now finally g'night ...

Ras " This Indo-Pak animosity has already created

a fountain of misery.... "

Not as much as the animosity between the elite in the US and the rest of the world, that "fountain of misery" is killing over 40,000 a day, destroying the world's environment and causing food shortages, not to mention the direct killings in laying whole countries to waste, directly and indirectly by pushing militarism and military sales in the hundreds of billions and altering agendas of the developing world from "development" to fighhting farcial wars and causing internal strife. Those barbarians outdo the India/Pakistan BS by a factor of a million to one...

Easy for you to say sitting in or near the most barbaric country the world has seen (I assume USA). Things happen over there that would make the most perverted a-hole in this country of ours remember his mama...

Its all a FARCE, same old sh** Time to raise hell by all and sundry, the country is dying and these fools want more of the same

g'night

Sherry "Ugly" Rehman just declared coalition or no coalition they will continue with their BS...Contesting the elections was a mistake that legitimized a farce (as I wrote as people were celebrating this farce as a 'revolution) and now staying with the coalition is also a mistake. The N should all resign and walkout, as should the others, isolate the sellouts and let them make themselves into a new Q

It is not a good idea to hang some one for reasearch and analysis -- same way to beat someone to death for watching a cricket match without a visa.

What a sadistic godforsaken subcontinent -- plague be on both houses.
