Unchecked US attacks may reach Peshawar, officials warn

PESHAWAR: US drone attacks may extend as deep as NWFP capital Peshawar if the political leadership does not work out a ‘bipartisan policy’ to tackle the 'extremely dangerous situation’, government and military officials have warned.

"[The US] can come to Hayatabad (in Peshawar) tomorrow to hit a target and will say they have intelligence that Gulbuddin Hekmatyar was hiding there," senior government and army officials told Daily Times in a series of interviews last week. The US has carried out more than two dozens airstrikes in the Tribal Areas this year, using unmanned spy planes mainly to target Al Qaeda. The warning follows a rare US attack outside the Tribal Areas targeting a suspected Al Qaeda hideout in Bannu on November 19.

"These attacks should end. They are not stopping Al Qaeda attacks, nor will they help Pakistan's campaign against this organisation," the officials speaking on condition of anonymity told Daily Times. They said the US should show how seriously the attacks affected Al Qaeda's ability to strike. "We need to know how much damage has been done to Al Qaeda’s ability to carry out attacks in future." Asked if Pakistan had given a 'tacit approval’ for the US to carry out the attacks, an army official said: "The army chief has not given any such permission. If Pervez Musharraf had done this I would have heard about or known it." iqbal khattak

Diarrhea kills more people than AIDS, tuberculosis, or malaria:
According to the estimates of one sanitation specialist George cites, each of the 2.6 billion people who live without sanitation may ingest up to 10 grams of fecal matter a day. The consequence is often diarrhea, which is a mere irritation in the West, but in the developing world a lethal condition that kills 2.2 million people a year — more than AIDS, tuberculosis or malaria. And it’s all for lack of a toilet, which may be why George isn’t one for toilet jokes. “I don’t think 2.6 billion people without a toilet is very funny,� she writes.

Bigger than the curry curse is really the Kashmiris they are suffering of. The brits decided to help for the first time in england's history and they got Kashmiris:)

ha, not only that, HP. What bigger curse can there be upon the hapless British than to see lowly curry turn into their everyday dish, almost!

Given a chance, no true Brit would choose to come to India again if history could be rewinded. :)

I don't know why I have a feeling that Indians carry a curse of milliniums. Whenever India appears to be doing better the world start falling around. Even the great leaders like Alexander and Timur lung suffered under the curse for lusting after India. The Persians and afghans, look at them now. They are the beggars of the world.

The US decided to rape India and now the US is under the spell. Just go back and check out the history. There more instances like that. I think India should be quarantined for good and no indian should be allowed outside so the world can be a happy place:)

hamidm, hope you won't have to launch your jihad against neel and vikram and paulson :)

----------

hamidm, the nun may not be faking it. In our society women rarely make false charges of rape against men. So when a woman claims that she was raped by a man, it is reasonable to believe her, and to punish the man. That's what we should do in this case.

Thankfully, despite whatever problems Orissa police might have, that is what was done in this case. Ten local men were put behind bars. Five policemen on duty that day were suspended from their jobs for witnessig the gang rape and doing nohing about it.

But to complete this process the course of justice should be followed. That is the only way justice of any sort can be provided to both men and women on reasonable, sustainable basis whether in India or in Pakistan or in any other country.

Well I guess you are not reading the news right hamid.
Tom Friedman(NYT columnist)wife is from a major real estate family. The family's net worth was approx $2.3 billion when the year started now it is $25 million. One guy I was reading about was worth $30 billion and now he is looking a about $2 billion.
Now remember these guys had this wealth for generations and you were building your 401k for what 20 years now? It will take about 20 years to rebuild what has been lost so far. Remember when 401k last lost values after the tech bubble. They had barely recouped that in the last 6 years and now the sky has fallen.

Re: # 160

kaal mian,

.... i fi remember correctly, mukhtaran mai was groomed by cia agent nicholas kristoff to discredit islam and our culture ..... it was also a campaign by former western colonial powers to discredit our local panchayat based system of justice ..... also, as the chief executive of pakistan pointed out at that time, women in our part of the world make all kinds of claims to get a free visa to canada and america .........

...... unfortunately we people are rather gullible and easily fall for these shennighans by these charlatans and their western handlers ..... i think this nun in orissa (wherever that is) is faking it and should be prosecuted ..... i wouldn't be surprised if the pope is behind all this to gain a few more converts .....
