huh!..beggars cant be choosers.Then how come pakistan gets to choose. Half the country needs the money of Americans, the other half, arm power of radical islamic groups. No problem even if both the parties are going to come back and haunt us later.Terrorists are mad at us for helping America and Americans are mad for helping terrorists. No issues.. lets poke our noses deeper into the issue and if that back fires.. lets live in denial… until both the parties come and fight us first. Radical islamic groups are already on their way. We at least have a neighbour to put blame on. Lets live in more denial and enjoy the visual treat of bombs and fidayeen attacks in our own backyard .We are in for one wild ride. It never stops getting exciting.

It should be very clear to the American’s that they cannot win in Afghanistan w/o the help of Pakistan. Our supply route is the shortest and cheapest, which will help to keep the war cost low, which is increasing exponentially. Route through Iran is long and not developed. Route through Russia takes for ever. With that in mind our government should tell our American Friends that things would run according to our wills, after all when they left in 1989, we were the one who played a crucial role in bringing about peace in Afghanistan. We should dictate terms rather than accept anything that is thrown at us. I remember reading in a book, when once President Ayub Khan said that beggars are not choosers. The time has come when we should say the same thing to Americans Beggars re not choosers. We need more aid & better equipment. Not only this they should make sure that Indians don’t use their twelve consulates to destabilize the region.

Muhammad Abdul Majid – listen up.

the reason they have not been captured is because they hide in caves surrounded by a land that the US is not permitted to go into. Nothing groovy or sexy about how they have avoided capture. Its simple logistics.

The shortsightedness of the people here is so obvious. You are still mired in the thought that the US is the Great Satan. what you forget is prior to 911, the US in fact supported and funded Pakistan with great zeal and at times to detriment of Indian interest.

You will live in the stone ages if you act foolish in not accepting the funding and assistance of the US in this war on terror. This is ‘Global’ threat that would only see the international community alienating Pakistan – if Pakistan does not step up to the plate.

Don’t make a scapegoat of the hand – that extends to help you. This is not about regional identities – Its about smart politics !!!

Can you handle the truth ?

World knows what kind of fairwell received by Bush in Iraq and its old saying history repeat itself.

Pakistanis should be more careful and keep themselves away being a war partner by any means.

Pakistan and Afghanistan can’t taggle the web of foreign powers and Mullah without help from each other. Pakistani and Afghani must realize that neither US, UK or India are friends of Pakistan and Afghanistan ( India). Sooner Pakistani and Afghani realize it, it would be better. Both nations are proud nations- both with each other help defeated the Russia and both need each other to destroy the Yolk of foreign powers and Mullah’s powers. Each can’t do alone.

Pakistan should ally itself with the organic, so called “Taliban” not those elements who have sworn alleigance to Arab extremists and their allies. Make no mistake, once America leaves, and the dust settles, the Pashtoon nation will again return to power in Afghanistan. I further suspect that Karzai will soon be in exile and a new leadership will emerge in Afghanistan. It is clear that the hardcore Taliban offer nothing but war, misery and destruction to themselves and the region, and thus should be defeated militarily and ideologically through the support of the reconcilable Taliban and Pashtoon tribes in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

PAK+India should fight terrorism together. Historically it the people and the part of the land of Pakistan which has bear the attacks of foreigners in the past many centuries(Alexander, Iranians, Mongols.Mughals etc) and saved the mainland from the barbaric acts of the attackers,They have sacrificed their lives and religion to save the present India.
So I request evrey Indian and Pakistani (Including politicians) that leave all the political difference aside and work together to erradicate the common enemy i.e. terrorism, Poverty. illetracy etc

Its amazing how many people here sincerely believe that Israel is behind the mayhem in Pakistan. Its even more amazing that person after person believe that the problems that haunt today’s Pakistan is because of events that transpired two decades ago.

The fact is Pakistan should face the terrorism treath head on and resolve it with force if required. Pussy-footing around the issue will not help.
It is increasingly apparent that Pakistani elements sponsor terrorism. That terrorism is not engulfing the entire state. Today’s Pakistan is a pariah, a no-go zone for cricket teams, politicians, artists and everyone else.

I am an Indian and have always wished the best for my Pakistani brothers. Please do not be fooled by internal hypocrisy that lays the current situation on India and Israel.

Around the world , people talk about our country for the wrong reasons.
After our independence what we had achieved? Nothing!!!!!
We always compare ourselves with Indians.. how they are treating their muslims, riots in Gujrat etc…
But try to understand — even after all these events in Indian soil, nobody is talking negative about them , except us.
I am afraid to say in social web site, that i am Muslim and from pakistan.
