It is good to see that you don't believe in 'malicious joy'!
Coca Cola, enjoy!

the author says: "To the Americans, Pakistan is an instrument to be used for their strategic ends." His flawed argument, typical of recent Pakistani liberal scare tactics, is that the threat of impending Talibanization trumps all other threats including the threat of US manipulation or occupation. Forget that Talibanization of the whole country is MUCH more unlikely than Pakistan becoming another Afghanistan or Iraq if we give the US carte blanche to do whatever it wants as the author seems to be suggesting.
The reason why there was so much outrage over the death of the FC soldiers was because it was such an ominous signal of things to come -- see also in yesterday's Dawn, remarks by Admiral Mike Mullen: "“I’m comfortable, as the military leader, that I have all the authorities I need,� said Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, when asked if he had the authority to target key terrorist leaders hiding in Fata."

Does truth have a number like you do, or are you the kind of Truth ("I am THE Truth) proclaimed by Mansur Hallaj?
I hope you love this comment.

It seems Pakistanis are still in religiosity of 1820s. Read this gogle book how one British memsahab talked and viewed at the natives.

I think future and destiny of Pakistan should be left to Pakistanis themselves. After all they have come a long way after 60 years into a nation by their own efforts. They have handled their problems and now they can lick Talibani problem too. Pakistani nation will never be run by Talibs.
LEAVE THEM ALONE.

As-salaam Alaikom to all, and seasons wet greetings too!
ChowQ will soon split writers/interacters into two categories:
1) Banned by ChowQ (punished for speaking the truth)
2) Banned-Chowq (rewarded for spreading lies)
Come now ZeeMax, explain to JayP, Laddu, Pappu, Guddu, Billu, Guppu, and Chappu what the second category stands for!

Masadi the Liberator: Thank God you have released from your illegal detention. We all were deeply concerned when he heard that you had decided to go on hunger strike in prison. Newspapers around the world were clamoring for your release. The entire student population of Berkeley, Sorbonne, University of Tokyo, and the Rotterdam School of Economics went on sympathy hunger strike with you.
The Evil Emperor Hamidm was doing palace intrigues (just like Musharraf) to keep you out. But they could not keep you out, Mon Empereur!!
Vive "Napoleon" Masadi!! Vive Le'Empereur!!
Lota Hamidm hai hai
