In that vein, Hitler did not die at the end of WWII, he apparently just took cyanide, shot himself and his body was then doused in petrol and then burnt. Apart from that he was just fine.
Yeah, they're quite 'tough' when it comes to foreign nationals.
Have you heard about the Indian politician Modi? He could be India's next Prime Minister (!), and yet the US has so far refused him a visa to travel there because he is accused of being a bigot and someone who was involved in...
Traveling to the west came into the picture, assuming he had any plans. That's all it was- friendly advice. I guess it does not matter if he doesn't.
I thank people who call me a kid- aapke mooh mein ghee shakkar.
Edit: I'l add that the advice was based on what I have seen first hand. I...
"Hindu slave"...I say what Umair Nawaz, be careful if you're living in the West or plan to live there.
A simple IP check - and I'm guessing your name really is Umair Nawaz- could have you denied any travel/ work visas for hate speech/ racism.
And also impact any business you run or...
Thank you for a cogent, well thought out reply that one can appreciate and respect.
This is how good forumming should go- promoting more understanding and knowledge instead of religious/ ethnic/ nationalistic intolerance.
Ha! It's amazing how people can think alike across the years and across cultures.
I had the exact same reaction to the Stahlhelm and its variants a long time ago. That helmet and its silhouette were closely identified with the Nazi regime and pro and anti Nazi propaganda- became famous...
Even if that is true- and I note that Pakistan denies it- it is still not a military operation but simple thuggery.
I do not think we should insult honourable armies by calling this murder spree a military operation.
You think the Mumbai attack can actually be classified as a military operation?
A bunch of crazed, high on religion maniacs attack innocent civilians in a mostly undefended city, use assault rifles against defenseless people just trying to make a living. They murder fathers, mothers, sisters...
Are there any special courts/ laws in Pakistan to try and punish the perpetrators of such activities? I ask because it seems that the current judicial system seems to be unable to cope, to the point that individuals within agencies (police, judiciary, etc) seem to be threatened and targeted by...
Hyperion- your description of terrorists being funded by donations by people who do not know where their money is going is quite interesting. That doesn't make it any less scary though.
The problem with tackling these some of these madaris is that from what I have read they are now a parallel...
I think that the very important point is that there are no overplayed claims, photoshops, pictures of Iran's nuclear program. At least I have not seen any issued by Iran.
That's where *hit gets serious!
In other words the art of military bluff as old as the ages: Talk up your capabilities...
Well, this could be the start of a significant policy shift by the US, but I doubt it.
How will Indians play this?
With our usual, easily assumed, self righteous hysteria (media), some back of the scene manouevring by Indian leadership, some calibrated statements by US leadership, some...
It's Pakistan's decision to do as it pleases, but I will remind Pakistani forumers who care: there is a difference between treating the symptom and treating the disease.
Removing posters from walls is a waste of time because it treats the symptom. Pakistanis (including PA soldiers) are...
If one group is orchestrating this thing entirely, then may I say it's neither chori, nor seena zori...but perhaps Good Cop, Bad Cop.
Or- Good Taliban, Bad Taliban!
