#599 is for cayenne. Maybe the quality is missing, but progress is in the right direction. What we lack in quality we make up with violence.

Here is a picture of Karachi citizens relaxing in the streets

#595 by Ajeya on August 5, 2005 10:07pm PT in reference to #578 by Romair
{``pet terrorists by financing it with money earned through ventures involving India reeks of an Al-Queda - style operation. I hope that the FBI is on your tail. ``}

Ajeya,
Not only is the FBI on his tail, it has it under microscopic surveillance. Also, Captain Romair is being investigated by the interfaith shinterfaith police for attempting to start his own Koresh/Waco/Jonestown type of a ``religion.``

[This is where the best outlet is to bring in people from India (who by the way, actually get paid less than Pakistanis). ]

I would suggest that you forget about India. Supporting the butchering of innocent Hindu men, women and children by your pet terrorists by financing it with money earned through ventures involving India reeks of an Al-Queda - style operation.

I hope that the FBI is on your tail.

Hello capt clueless...didn`t you tell us the sipah-e-sahaba was a terrorist group? So how come El-presidente has a catch-and-release program for these terrorists?

Musharraf`s Contradictory Crackdown on Radicals
Pakistani Groups Increase Power Despite a Ban

By N.C. Aizenman
Washington Post Foreign Service
Friday, August 5, 2005; A09



LANDI ARBAB, Pakistan -- As Pakistani security forces rounded up hundreds of suspected Islamic militants last week in the wake of the bomb attacks in London, Ibrahim Qazmi, a slightly built 28-year-old cleric with a wispy black beard, leaned on a pillow in his herbal remedy shop in northwest Pakistan and smiled skeptically.


In 2001, shortly after the Sept. 11 attacks, Qazmi and scores of his associates in Sipah-i-Sahaba, or Army of the Prophet`s Followers, were arrested in a crackdown announced by Gen. Pervez Musharraf, Pakistan`s president, who vowed to crush the network of radical Islamic groups that had flourished in the country for years.


But just 10 days later, Qazmi said, he and the others were released without charges. Although their group was banned for fomenting sectarian violence, they simply changed its name and revived it. Their top leader was elected to the National Assembly, and Qazmi was elected to the legislature of the North-West Frontier Province, now dominated by fundamentalist Islamic parties preparing to establish a morals police force.


``So you see, despite the ban, we have only gotten stronger,`` Qazmi said with a chuckle.

Southasian #585 and #586, {``Re: # 584 So you meant the no. 2 there? haha``}

That`s right. That`s right. :)

You are very perceptive. :)

#587, Arjun responding to Romair`s #578 {``You don`t know what you`re talking about...do you even know how much good people make in India....``}

That`s right. The recent story about Tata Consulting trying to go into a joint venture with a Paki firm and open a training site in Lahore is due to this disparity in wages. Indian salaries for IT have skyrocketed - thus making Pakistan a welcome resource for trained and cheap labor.

``If you speak the truth, you only have to say it once.``
