arjun_m,
Can you please share with me the source of the following information, as this is news to me:

``Pakis....just happen to train people who went on to lead the taliban, people who went on to do 9/11 and people who were responsible for the jakarta bombing.. ``

I am sure the US will find it interesting that you have found proof that the murdurers involved in September 11 and the Bali bombing (did you mean Bali or was there a bombing in Jakarta that I never heard about) were trained by ``Pakis``. Also which gallup poll did you pick the following from:

``...more than 80% of adult paki males think OSama Bin Laden is a freedom fighter and not a terrorist.... ``

Well, dont you think Asif that using us for their ends, and then throwing away should generate hatred
well, in Pakistan people believe in unending friendship. when you are friends, you are friends no matter what comes...but there on international and political level, friendly relations are subject to a country`s interests...
i think that is what Pakistanis should learn quickly...

Jay # 1

You are confusing Mujahideen with Taaliban.

Mujahideen faught the Soviets. Now those Mujahideen look like boy scouts in front of Talibans.

Talibaan, descendants of Mujahideen, brought up in refugee camps in Pakistan and educated by the Madressas of JUI, funded through Saudi charities, are totally local production. Intially, under control of Pakistan - later, out of control - like the frankenstein who escaped the lab.

Jay,

pappu yaar... tang naa kar.

Asif,

The mistrust of the United States of America is based on fallacious premise. However one thing is that Pakistanis also distinguish between Americans and their Government.

Asif,

You should have taken the next step and had a look at why pakistanis have this ingrained prostitute mentality, they will do anything for money. When americans said create taliban to zia, he did that and pakistanis joined. Now americans are telling, kill taliban, and again pakistanis are ready. why..why.
