Tahir Saheb, without your permission I had the audacity to add a post of yours to favourites:

Mr. Muhammad A. Asadi, as-salamu alaikum,

Interacting at CHOWK served me the same purpose it did to CHOWK-owners: to know what makes real men tick, dogs lick, kangaroos kick, and unbelievers sick.

The psychological profiles of the vultures (without culture) are complete now--thanks to their writhing in pain.

A certain change HAS taken place here, don't you think?

Life is only good if one has faith; life must go on.

"since majority (if not all) of those used around the world....the thrid world (conflicts in Africa, Afghanistan and many more) come from POF (Wah Cantt)."

Now here is someone who has the ability to confess to crimes we, as a nation, never committed against humanity! I think he should return from down-underewear and rule this land. It'll make the lord of the burning 'Bush' so happy!

I'm afraid Sir that you do not know the difference between landmines and cluster bombs.

Landmines are anti-personnel devices for battlefields, while cluster bombs are solely meant to depopulate civilian areas - such as Israel used to depopulate large areas of South Lebanon and keep them depopulated long after the July 2006 war (they dropped some 3 million of them in the 2 days before the ceasefire came into effect). It's another thing that the residents still came back.

By making the comparison you are trying to trivialize the issue.

I wonder what the author thinks about "landmines"? since majority (if not all) of those used around the world....the thrid world (conflicts in Africa, Afghanistan and many more) come from POF (Wah Cantt).

perhaps leaving many with missing limbs, with no facilities for rehabilitation, and no one to earn a crust for the entire family etc is not worthy enough of mention?

dear Fiza -- sorry that I forgot to congratulate you for your very 'pur Asar' -- very noble -- very courageous article -- the 21 century man's creative barbarism will put to shame all the brabarians of the past 5 thousands years put together.

Continue to raise your voice in condemning the crimes against humanity committed by the West and by the East. More power to your pen.

"United States, Russia and China have not signed the Mine Ban treaty and will not sign the Cluster Ban either....."

Neither have India and Pakistan -- at least the US, Russia and China have signed the NPT -- why not the mine makers, the bomb makers and the Cluster killers of India and Pakistan?

What do the two countries have in mind for the overcrowded subcontinent -- population culling?

All out for it. Complete ban on cluster bombs

"For them it’s a video game.
Cities showing on a graphics page
Forests and mines are dotted shapes
Hills and plains, rivers and ports
Uneven terrains and country roads
All are accessible by a click
To abolish one they just have to pick.

On couches relaxed in front of screens
They watch the unfolding of every scene
It is a game of strategy they say
Real objectives are not relayed
Scattered limbs in a bomb blast
For them are just surreal shots
What is real is to capture the land
And staying there with an upper hand
People and devices from both sides
Are elements that this game provides.

"Mr. President, how funny you look
And Mr. Pious, you are quite a crook
Part of the game is to make a choice
Let’s adjust the volume and hear their voice
Oh but blasts sounding higher and higher
This game is becoming a quagmire."

"Yes, for you, all this is like a game
But destruction is real Mr. Disdain.
Thousands murdered on both sides
Are God’s children being sacrificed.
Before you plan your next attack
Know that what goes does come back.
For now, this may be a game, but at the end
Game will be no longer when reality descends."

I wrote the above poem a few months ago. All this destruction is pathetic. Thanks Fiza Asar for bringing such issues into focus. Keep up the good work. God Bless.
