Reflections Of Shame This article is exhibit one, why frats are haven for shallow, amoral, spoiled brats.

The girl was drunk, she passed out. She was hammered, trashed. First of all, a `gentleman` would make sure no minors were on the premises getting liquored up. Secondly, if one passed out, drunk, he would make sure she got home safely . A gentleman wouldn`t be sticking his d * * * into her, as soon as he sent her friends on a fool`s errand.

This is no isolated incident. I have seen and heard it happen every weekend, on campus. The players in the frat house, will get you drunk with free `punch` and then get into your pants, whether you like it or not. That is what fraternities are all about. Forget the `Love, Honour, blah blah` slogans they like to wrap themselves around. There isn`t a teaspoon full of it in the whole fraternity system. Just a bunch of rich brats living high on their dad`s allowance.

Ofcourse that perp should have been keyholed for what he did. I say, his d * * * should have been lobbed off with a cigar cutter. Lets see then how many of these `gentlemen` try to get on top of an unconscious corpse to simulate intercourse.

After reading Khan`s self-questioning whine-fest, I only find him deserving of a good walloping. Instead of getting a clearer, more saner perspective with time, he is getting dumber. A fine specimen indeed of the fraternity-hood.

Open Letter to General Musharraf We seem to have some Bangladeshi supporters and apologists here, who are rehashing the same ol` tired, revisionist propaganda, wraped in inane rhetoric.

I hate the fact that we lost a vast tract of land, which belonged to Pakistan and for which a lot of blood, sweat and tears were shed by the founders of Pakistan. But in hindsight, I am not sorry that we lost custody of the natives living on that land. As the events that unfolded before the 1970 elections and those between April - Dec 1971 proved, that the Bangalis just could not be happy without having Bangla as the national language of Pakistan and enjoying total control of govt. administration from city council up to the seat of the Prime Minister.

Mujib was in India as early as 1965-66, making plans to tear out Bangladesh from the whole. It was well known that he was cultivating contacts in India, to make the transition easier. His six point plan, which he would not budge an inch from in ngotiations with Bhutto, wanted East Pakistan to be a totally autonomous state, only sharing the currency and foreign policy with West Pakistan. It is absurd to suggest that Bhutto should have accepted that loony plan of Mujib`s. The Bangalis forced the hand of the West pakistanis and proudly secceded from us.

During the war, every Bangali child from 6 to 60

was pushing bogged down indian troop vehicles out of the muddy tracts in Bangladesh, so they could hurry up and kill more West Pakistani soldiers. The Bangalis made the best Mukhbir`s, taking all the troop positions and reporting them to their Indian masters laying seige on the pakistani troops. And these brave Pakistani jawans were stationed there, fighting tooth and nails, with an ill-equipped, paltry 3 corps, to Indias well-supplied 12 corps, armed to the teeth. West Pakistanis died, trying to save the homes of these Bangalis who turned around and gave them up to the Indians, all the while jumping with joy.

You know...I am glad we got rid of these Bangalis. Who knows, what other wounds they would have inflicted upon the West, if we had carried them with us ?, maybe lost the WHOLE of Pakistan to India. Bangalis wanted their country, they got it. I hope they are happy with the success they have had, since choosing to seperate from us. They look real pretty clutching those coconut trees in the monsoons, as waters rush under their derrier`s.

Thats probably the sky, pashy.maan and crying, over the innumerable acts of trechery and treason the Bangalis carried out against the West Pakistanis...

preceded the 1970 elections, that led to the attitudes cementing in the west against Mujib-ur-Rahman`s

Open Letter to General Musharraf Mr. Farooqi is in a long list of expatriates, who

are sitting in CA, lending their brain and expertise to the west, while consider it their divine right to criticise everything that moves in Pakistan. He drones on and on, about the military, while failing to aknowledge once, that the only period in Pakistan`s 53 year history when we were poised to leave behined Korea in the dust economically, was under the leadership of a *gasp * military guy Gen. Ayub Khan. It was amusing to see him tap dance all around the issue and avoid it, like a mine field.

Some economist, eh ?. Selective memory, serves him well, to expedite his hateful agenda against the Pakistan military. People like our dear Mr. Farooqi couldn`t hack it, one hour on the border with India, with the incessant incoming shells and artillery fire from the Hindus. Who is protecting the villages of Sialkot, when Indians shell the village and reduce the houses to `malba` ?. Who is driving back the Indians, when they cross the border and try to capture our `chowkis` ?.

I`ll tell you who...the jawans of the Pakistan Army, thats who. Where is Mr. Farooqi ?. Well, he is in CA, minting $$`s for himself and oh yeah, slinging mudballs at whoever is trying to straighten out the politicians and the bureacracy at the time.

The best Mr. Farooqi and his ilk could do, if they can`t pull up their sleeves and get down to nation building themselves, for whatever reasons, it to butt out. The people of Pakistan are happy at how the military is handling things by all accounts and for the first time somebody is making the rich and powerful accountable for their misdeeds.

All the power to Gen. Musharaf and his brave jawans, for whom no amount of praise would be enough. The least we can do, is wish them well and pray for them to succeed. The Farooqi`s of this world should hit the curb.

Eqbal Ahmad: Post - Pokhran Days Anyone who believes Pakistan could survive, let

alone thrive, with a nuclear India alongside it,

lives in la-la land.

The superpowers are rightly condemning Pakistan

and India for crashing their Nuclear membership.

With every new addition, their power diminishes.

China is begrudgingly courted by the west, only

because it has ICBM missiles, a dozen of which

are now pointed towards the USA. On merit, China

does not deserve to be in the security counsel,

but for its Nuclear arsenal.

The peaceniks like Hoodbhouy and Eqbal, are modern

day Chamberlain`s of the Sub-Continent. They are

perfectly happy to come back from a tour of India

with a note pinned to their collar from Vajpayee,

of the kind Richard pulled out of his pocket in

1939...a few days later Poland fell to Hitler.

These academics look pretty in their classrooms,

talking about Utopia to their hearts delight. They

are a danger to people around them, when they

venture out of a campus and start preaching to

the masses about peace, when the other side is

preparing for war.

God forbid, if someone would take these chaps

seriously.
