........ as much as i dislike the goons in khaki for making a mess of the political process, they seem to be a much lesser evil compared to the wild-eyed jihadis and their leaders who have ``issued a fatwa that any Na Pak fauji who dies while killing his own citizen must be refused his namaz-e-janaza``............... these are the same people who before 9/11 were praying to their moon god for a taleban style government in pakistan ........ they ducked down into their spider holes for a while and now they are back, foaming at the mouth and bent upon creating hell on earth so that they can have their seventy houris in heaven ................. i think it is time to whack them again!....... absolute evil must be absolutely destroyed and, let us not forget, it is much easier to get rid of a general than a pope or ayatollah ...............

“For now, our fight is not to overthrow or further destabalize the `govt.` it is too bring reforms, slowly they might come, but gradually we will win.”
How long it will take? Any guess …..

One of the bombers was later identified as a member of a breakaway faction of Jaish-e-Mohammed, one of the main militant groups battling Indian forces in Kashmir. The group was founded with the government`s blessing in 2000 by Masood Azhar, a radical cleric. ]
Under pressure from US Masood Azhar is not being allowed to do ``freedom fighting`` in Kashmir. Somebody called Zargar (?sp) is given that role because he is Kashmiri and Masood is not. So that Musharraf can turn back and declare that it is freedom fighting not terrorism. What goes around comes back around to haunt you. After Bangladesh war Bangladeshi freedom fighters had refused to give up arms. Same thing will happen in Pakistan. What kind of people will do senseless indiscrimate killing? Criminals. Sooner Pakistan realises this better they will be. This is nothing. If one of these groups gains access to their nukes it will be Pakistan`s number after Iraq. After all US has already promised to use the doctrine of dealing with any ``gathering threat`` before it becomes real.

Jihadis in pakiland are product of various wet dreams conjured up by Khakis e.g. strategic depth, thousand-cut death ...blah blah.
Khakis and Jihadis go hand-in-hand even though lately there have been a few fatricidal battles. If you neutralize Khakis, jihadis swamp won`t be too much of trouble to drain out.

Let us not loose our identity in the name of moderation, Jehad is not only of the militant type. To live and die by upholding moral principles is also jehad. To be able to do that you need to you have to develop the moral courage that all the great people had as mentioned in no 93. Who can dispute that our identity is Muslim: only we seem to be unsure. The rest of world is fairly certain and clear and all their policies and actions and wars are guided by the ultimate threat : A resurgent Islam. Terrosist acts are not sanctioned by Islam. We need to unify and inculcate a self regulatory regime whereby each individual is capable of performing his/her duty without being mislead in the labyrinth of confusion. Only then can we begin to prosper as a nation. In the meantime let us at least say both with deeds and words what is right and not support Musharraf and SA .

A Waste of Blood
by Charley Reese
When you look at the Vietnam War Memorial, with those 57,000 names of dead Americans on it, you should feel anger.
All of those young lives were sacrificed by blundering civilian politicians and bureaucrats who made their deaths meaningless. They died because of the posturing and ineptness of politicians in Washington who sent them to war for no logical reason and with no grand strategy for winning.
Then, after so many deaths, the American politicians lost their nerve and pulled out, leaving the South Vietnamese government as easy prey for the North.
Vietnam today is a communist country. It could have become a communist country without 57,000 Americans dying in its jungles, mountains and rice paddies. At no time were the communists in Vietnam a threat to the United States.
Now we have Americans dying in another country that was not and never could have been a threat to the United States.
Iraq had a bad dictator. Lots of countries have or have had bad dictators. Some of the dictators were installed by the United States, and others were aided by it. Merely toppling a foreign dictator is not a legitimate use of the U.S. military.
Nor is the world safer for the absence of Saddam Hussein, as the present administration keeps saying.
That`s because Saddam was never a threat to the world in the first place. American politicians so demonized Saddam, you would think that he was a genius in charge of a large industrial country.
He is not a genius.
Iraq is not a large country. The only war Saddam ever won was against Kuwait, which is the geographical equivalent of a postage stamp. Saddam was a ruthless, but not overly bright, thug who held power in a small country with a divided population. He was a threat only to his own people.
Militarily, he was nothing but a straw man.
Defeating Iraq in both wars was the equivalent of a heavyweight boxer beating up a 3-year-old. There was no contest. There was never any chance of a contest.
Iraq never recovered from its unsuccessful war with Iran and was growing weaker and weaker under sanctions and bombing. It had no air force. It had no air defenses worthy of the name. Its equipment was obsolete; the discipline of the forces was weak to nonexistent.
Americans should not be deluded by the fact that the American news media made it seem like the defeat of Hannibal or a second Normandy invasion. It was barely more than a live-fire exercise.
The majority of the American casualties are from the resistance, not from the war.
And you tell me: What is being accomplished by these young Americans dying in Iraq? It`s not saving Americans from weapons of mass destruction. There aren`t any.
It`s not saving America from al-Qaeda. Saddam and Osama bin Laden hated each other and never cooperated.
Are these young people dying just to do a favor for the Iraqis?
The Iraqis don`t want us in their country. It`s pretty hard to justify the claim that Iraqis are grateful when they are busy killing their so-called liberators.
It might not be on the same scale, but it`s Vietnam all over again. A war in a foreign country that was no threat to the United States. No strategy for victory. A complete misreading of both the country and its people.
In the end, the Americans who die in Iraq will, like their brothers who died in Vietnam, have died for nothing. We`ll end up installing a replacement dictator. But even if the Iraqis have elections, those elections should not be purchased with American blood.
I would hope that the American people would be (expletive deleted) tired of politicians (expletive deleted) away the lives of our sons and daughters for stupid or hidden reasons. No American soldier should ever die, except in defense of his or her own country. Period. End of story.
And every politician who wastes American blood should be thrown out of office.

Echboom says
``Just do a quick reality check you jahil and see if the heroes everywhere in all nations meet most of these criteria or not: LincolN? Churchill? Mao? Lenin? Ho chi Minh? Castro? Imam Khomeini? Jinnah? Gandhi?: even if one DISAGREES with their philosophies , one can`t just help but admire their INABILITY to compromise and put their own person above the cause.````
Very good boom boom. Though we may admire the above for their `inability to compromise` a few of their hard stances have done much harm to their people. Imam Khomeini and Castro - dictators who hold on to power even more stringently than the man you hate - Musharraf. Iran - 2 million refugess, asylum seekers in America, even more in Europe/Turkey. I may be illiterate, but if being literate means having to agree with everything you say - well hell, I rather remain in ignorant bliss. Though I maybe an illiterate, I have had the chance to go to Iran, and meet Iranians in England and the States, its their coutnry - so let me put it to you straight - they dont like their government either. And though they do not need America to overthrow the govt. for them - change should come from within either by the ballot or the bullet. As for Castro - his inability to compromise has led to similiar conditions in Cuba, do you know how many people try to flea to the United states every year, the number is in the tens of thousands.
Though Jinnah and Gandhi held fast to their belief, they resorted to tactics which maybe you should apply. Being educated (in the West may I remind you) - they succeeded without bombs or bullets. Maybe we can all learn something from them as they too were facing a beligerant superpower.
As for Churchill and Ho Chi Minh, great men who did not compromise as you say - however, when the time came, they asked others for help. Churchill the U.S. and Ho Chi Minh turned to Russia.
Leaders are not black and white. Since you yourself are Muslim, the Quran talks about things being done in stages. Am i right? My friend, lets put our bickering aside, and talk like men. The problem with you kind of people is that whenver someone dares suggest anything outside the box you live in - you people go crazy. ``HE IS A JEW, HE IS A CHRISTIAN, HE IS A NON MUSLIM, HE IS A TRAITOR. BLAH BLAH BLAH.``
Your friend urstruly argues for democracy - you are the case in point that it just cant work in Pakistan, because though I am not asking you to agree with what I say , you just cant accept it. Then you people wonder why no one listens to you - except for the ignorant or other disillusioned people who are impressionable and whose answer to problems is always militant and revolutionary. It is you kind of `so called Muslims` that the rest of us are wary off. Religion dosent make you a political genius or a good leader. Education might, but it also helps you become a tolerant and understanding human being without tunnel vision.
So echoboom I put a challenge to you right now. You have called me illiterate, and called my article a goraa influenced work. Fine. Now I want you in about 200-500 words to write your own article (or just post it here) - about how ECHOBOOM proposes we change the country.
For the rest of chowk, let me tell you what this joker is going to do, instead of focusing on the issue - he will rant on about how Muslims have been left behind and how the big bad white man has done this and that to us. Hate and anger has filled his mind.
Urstruly: again you make some good points, however, the consencus in Pakistan remains in favor of Musharraf. There are grumblings about his foreign policy sure, and then again things are not perfect in this country either - but they never were in the first place. Your cause is to take back the govt from the army and give it to the people - and I agree with you in this regard. However, our methods are what differentiates us. By suicide bombings and more insurgency we will embroil ourselves in civil war, destabilize the country and the consequences will be dire especially when Pakitan finally seems to be coming to some sort of a grip. So I support a gradual process, a moderate process (which many seem to believe an illiterate route) - but that is my conviction. You people love to cite Gandhi, Jinnah and Martin Luther King - their methods worked.
As for Hamas, Al qaeda - not ONE of their purposes have been realized, because any autocracy or power will not bow to a military challenge. WE have been down this route before, lets learn from history and try something different.
Cheers.

1. No matter how hard we try, religion will play a huge role in Pakistan and in the Muslim world, to break away from this character will take many many years. For those who argue for complete secularism - do note that change takes time, and by arguing for another extreme in our societies will only create a backlash. Therefore it has to be a gradual process coming from within our country through educated means.
-``-break away from this character will take many many years..``
So is this your mindset? --Never again invoke Quran while, in that same foul breath, wishing for demise of religion. No it will not take many years to kick out closet atheists & secularists from Pakistan; especially if they seek refuge in a muslim closet.
...``.and by arguing for another extreme in our societies will only create a backlash..``
Oh! so these are your `tactics`?--No the gallows and coffins are already being prepared for such traitors. Vietnam, Iran, Cuba or any other place where the United-Satans have left their finger-prints bear a testimony to that. Iraq is a show that is still running in its 10th season. And Pakistan is next..Will give you more numbers about millions of asylum seekers.
jibbe: tell me if you can read this .
Most likely you are those unfortunate illiterates in Pakistan who went to Ba-Ba-Blacksheep schools. Your only claim to education is that your arse, mind, and hearts feel comfy in the the satanic westernish lifestyle.
How do you keep yourself in touch with that majority whose welfare you seek by posing as a muslim?
..Now I want you in about 200-500 words to write your own article (or just post it here) - about how ECHOBOOM proposes we change the country. ...
No I do not have any desire to teach someone so characterless a person as yourself. Get lost.

Is it true that in Pakistan when one disagrees with you they call you a jahil? an illiterate?
Wow, ive never been accused of being illiterate before, yet in 4 days (since my article was posted) - two people (echoboom and urstruly) have accused me of being jahil about what 20 times and counting. its comforting...thanks guys.
URSTRULY.....(people look at post #6) : wow, this man can even quote verses of the Quran...to Allah we belong and to Him shall we return. Im not sure of the context....anyway, Mr. Urstruly, please do not put words in my mouth, and I certainly do not need to explain your statement, which misrepresents my views. Please, go do what you want to do cowboy....no one is stopping you. Go write your own article, instead of runnign around Chowk, looking for anyone who dare disagree with you. Freak.
Echoboom:
Again this man takes me out of context (see post 107) - I was writing that in response to people who argue why Muslims always think around Islam.
But you are right about one thing boom shakala, I am not in favor of a backward Islamic state, if you are - please give me your address, i know a few travel agents who can arrange a flight to Saudi Arabia tommorrow...ofcourse, internet is banned over there...so you will not be able to come on chowk.com. So sad.
My friends, I call on both urstruly and echoboom to stop this pointless character assasination. I just cannot agree with your points....maybe cause Im illiterate. SEE IM HOPELESSS. so you cant help me, so stop trying to convert me to your cowboy cause, go find some others to play cops and robbers.
I have recieved a lot of mail commenting on these extremist elements on chowk, i urge those who emailed me to expose thse bin laden wannabes for what they are... all talk.

ferozek,
.... with your permission, i would like to quote you :
``It is the fate of Pakistan that it will never see or experience democracy and it will languish in the agony of religion. It is a fate, which even the gods cannot prevent. The principle intention of a religion is to create distinctions and to force upon a view of exclusivity instead of inclusivity in its followers towards other people. Religion thrives on dogma, because like anyother temporal power, it disdains questions, which are seen as a threat to its existence. Religion is nothing more than an autocratic expression of political authority masked under a different rationale.``
........... your ilogs are the only thing worth reading on chowk nowdays .............
