are you trying to get ppl to pay attn to yr ridiculous comments? because it doesnt seem to be working
so you probably think ahmedis,shias,boris,agakhanis and all ppl that arent wahabis like you are nonMuslims...well too bad you cant change their beliefs although ppl like you have tried by killing them.have you ever thought that maybe lets let God decide whos a believer and who isnt.Or are you above all that?
Can we Stop the War
Posted by bat Jan 20, 2003 09:33 pm
one would imagine that all of us would atleast agree this war is wrong.well surprise surprise! we question the past, and we need justification for the past wars to have to agree .
The very nation that prides itself with pricipals like liberty, equality and justice wants to attack a country regardless of international law and what its own citizens think.
how can we not agree this war is wrong?? how??
if we`re against this war, it doesnt mean we were in favour of the ones that took place in yesteryears..one would think we should learn from our mistakes - not repeat them.
This is not to say Im pro-sadaam.Its just that theinnocent civilians who have already been subjected to sanctions dont need more hardship.Why should they lose their lives? Assasination would be a better alternative but war is downright wrong

I for one dont care abt headless chicken`s (who btw reminds me of headless nick from harry potter the ghhooost - his identity is so ambigous like a ghoooost) plagiarism. I loved the article! the good old days when khan babas were women-protecting man-loving(cant use the F orbidden word) naswar-eating men. Now theyre all jusy talibans!
looking forward to the next piece!
Oh America!

Awesome.And yes, the perpetual cheerfulness, the common mental illness, the homeless, the rich in their habitat, and the overexpressed desire to be nonracist...i guess thats america.Nonetheless the number of volunteers and social workers, education, literacy, lower crime rate(as compared to the subcontinent - i know its not independent of its environment but it is safer here even if only in terms of noone takes yr life because u believe in something) laws...well i guess the last two are forced.But there has to be a reason why so many of us have left our homeland to make a life in north america.

where did i say i ``like`` the regimes in those countries you mentioned?? i just dont think the US should go on doing what it feels like..we all know osamabinladen and saddam were proteges of America and now that the tables have turned, they choose not to acknowledge they ever had anything to do with them. Their foreign policy is severely
warped and thats what needs attn.I`m very grateful to Uncle Sam for weakening the Taleban and making Saddam vulnerable but the principle of letting the US do what it pleases for its oil interests is simply scary.
I WISH that all the talebans in pakistan and their friends would be deported to these countries but unfortunately they are pakistani citizens..and thats just wishful thinking.

The sorry state of the american media needs much more exposure and these kind of articles are just what we need..Unofrtunately most Americans remain ignorant because they dont know better than to trust their own newspapers...but can we blame them? Living in Canada, we luckily have more options as far as newspapers and channels are concerned, and its amazing how waspish, rightwing and biased some of these are.
It`s great to see people like Noam Chomsky, Robert Frisk, Peter Jennings of the ABC network and their likes, that try to undo the harm their counterparts have caused and voice a view very different to that of their fellow journalists. From Iraq and North Korea to Israel and Afghanistan, the US foreign policy is extremely partial and prejudiced.Amazingly even after 9/11 , antiAmericanism is on the rise and thus issues like their biased media have caught attention.
And how did this become a pakistani-indian debate??

Personally i am very very glad that these bands are popping up in pakistan amidst the whole fundoo confusion. Yet i dont think it can be attributed to a mere standing-up-to-the-professor and breaking-norm s phenomena. Thats too idealistic. Whatever the cause im just thankful theyre thriving - hope to see more of them!
