"...I don’t know Soviets judged countries by religions but despite their many faults, they were certainly religion-blind...."

So true.

“In an interview conducted shortly before he was sworn in today as prime minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu laid down a challenge for Barack Obama. The American president, he said, must stop Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons—and quickly—or an imperiled Israel may be forced to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities itself.�

Hehehe

In this week's New Yorker, Seymour Hersh reports that, just before leaving office, Dick Cheney told the Israelis that Obama is a wimp and could be ignored.
This deserve another big hehehe!

“the USSR was a great friend of Muslims.If you study the Russians and compare them with chinese or USA , the Russians are far superior.Remember china was all ready to ditch vietnam in 1971-72.it was only with USSR help that vietnam played hell with americans.�

A good observation.

I don’t know Soviets judged countries by religions but despite their many faults, they were certainly religion-blind. If they were bad they were bad to all and if they were good they were good to all. I doubt they had any preferences based on religion. The central Asian countries were occupied by Russia and the USSR hung on to them. The truth is that the development that took place in central Asian countries under the Soviets has not been matched by any measure after the USSR fall. Since the fall of the USSR, the central Asian countries and their populations have suffered economically and all the progress has been stalled. The result is the rise of Islamic fundamentalism in several central Asian countries. If unchecked, the central Asian problems would dwarf anything that we see in Afghanistan and Iraq.

As part of President Barack Obama's new initiative for online outreach, I was invited this morning to participate in a US State department's webchat on Mr. Obama's new strategy for Afghanistan and Pakistan. You can check out the detailed transcript on my blog.

Musharraf supporter Leadenwinter is back to add to the mix of morons that roam these chowk streets. In the interim when he was gone, Pakistan gained a lot by defeating its military through restoration of the judges. Now if only it can understand the US shenanigans (that do not have Obama as the author- he is a pawn) then we can further strengthen our institutions and kick the sob sellouts like leadenwinter and the miserable generals out of the country....

Been a long time.. :)

In the interim as I predicted .. these last elections would be the end .. and lo and behold ..

Pakistan is finished .. Islamabad will probably be like Kabul by March 2010.. and then the faithful can grow their beards and pray and do all the Muslim things they're dying to do. Masadi .. shall be the Minister for Prevention of Vice and Promotion of Virtue..

Other interactors .. get visas now ... go to Canada..

Don't be so ignorant, Masadi. War is a war, which time is was fought notwithstanding. I know you know it.

In post WW II, there was a deliberate cold war that ended with the disintegration of Soviet. Even though there was some cooperation on Hydrogen Bombs. Adversaries fight, when interests clash. Nations have interest and people have friends.

"Were the Soviets and America on the same side?

Is Islamic Warriors' brutality against against the Persians, the vanquished, is recorded or not?

Get over you prejudices and see the living day light."


Moron, you didn't put any "facts" down. Islamic warriors and Persians bear no semblance to the US and Soviet Union, or the current world order that was designed post WW2. The Soviets were being used by the US/UK in WW2, their losses and the brunt of the German military might they faced proves that, the US/UK were double crossing their allies as usual. Post WW2 the US/UK initiated rhetoric about the "Iron curtain" and what not...get your history straight you moron.

Here is the US's new "Afghan" strategy

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090331/ap_on_re_as/as_pakistan

ISLAM ABAD – Pakistan's Taliban chief claimed responsibility Tuesday for a deadly assault on a police academy, saying he wanted to retaliate for U.S. missile attacks on the militant bases on the border with Afghanistan. Baitullah Mehsud, who has a $5 million bounty on his head from the United States, also vowed to "amaze everyone in the world" with an attack on Washington or even the White House...

-----

So, as I stated that if the "Barack Conspiracy" backfires, the U.S. elite will get rid of Obama, this "getting rid of" will be blamed on Pakistan, leading to a US occupation of the Western frontier, leading to a "mini Pakistan", leading to an invasion of Iran.....Let us see if Obama can save himself while the rest of the script plays out as planned...the six month testing period the Biden talked about is fast approaching, and the U.S media is documenting things like the above "news" just to prep the public...Those 'bearded ones' are on the CIA's payroll, they don't have a clue about what the "white house" is leave alone its location....all CIA BS.

Masadi:

Refute my facts, rather than utter nonsense, which is untrue?

Were the Soviets and America on the same side?

Is Islamic Warriors' brutality against against the Persians, the vanquished, is recorded or not?

Get over you prejudices and see the living day light.

Anil all you can respond with to the facts that describe world war 2 is with your anti-Islam bigotry which always gets you 'lost in time'. We are not discussing Islam comprendey, we were discussing US and Soviets post WW2.
