    Taliban Pulled From Medal of Honor Game

    Freedom of speech anybody? If you don't like to play Taliban then don't play, but don't presume others don't want to. From the start there was no opposition by people who play games, but external pressure, by people who have no idea what computer games are, forced this minor change. If target...

    Pakistan Planning Commission chalks out strategy for revenue and economic overhaul

    I would be offended if I were forced to relocate because this property price bubble artificially inflating the prices. People want to live in peace and not move here and there again and again once prices start shooting based on speculation. Many people in Pakistan inherit the home from their...

    Musharraf's political career launch speech (apology, promises and clean slate)

    What kind of Shariah you want? As it stands, the country's constitution is already shariah compliant by definition - no laws can be made repugnant to Islam article. If you are looking for the Saudi or Iranian model, let me tell you, the country will crash in an epic disaster with first...

    Musharraf, The Only Hope for Pakistan

    What I was arguing was that the spirit of article 248(1) is to prevent any tom dick and harry from creating frivolous legal hurdles in the functioning of the government. Now this case can go on for a very long time, but defense argument will be strong. The ZAB case was pertaining to the killing...

    Musharraf, The Only Hope for Pakistan

    That is incorrect. The part you are talking about is article 248(2) which pertains with actions taken by the person himself before getting elected, or any actions taken by the person which is not concerned with duties of the government while in office. Actions taken in the power of office are...

    Musharraf, The Only Hope for Pakistan

    This case won't hold out unless the judiciary is highly biased. Bugti was killed when Musharraf was president. Any decision taken in that capacity is protected. Bugti was in armed rebellion and refused to surrender to state authorities, hence murder case will not hold any water in this scenario...

Best bet is to spread ourselves out on to several star systems. Also, there is no problem in spending large amounts of money on...

    “Dangerous” book destroyed in US

    So basically from what I understand freedom of speech is good for trolling :azn: Anyways, if an officer publishes sensitive information covered by non-disclosure agreements then its breach of trust and prosecutable. On the other hand, anyone who outside of this contract gets hold of info one...

    Pakistan to use force to stop violations of its territory

    Drone strikes are with mutual understanding to kill militants. But invading another territory and killing people in "friendly fire" incidents is another ball game.

    Your performance in Urdu's Exam

    Am not a native speaker so Urdu isn't my forte. I had to resort to some serious cramming. Basically I gobbled up notes and spit it out at exam time - a xerox copy if you say. Got 80 in FSc part 1 and 70 in Part 2 - in second year I was fed up with ratta hence lower marks :cry: Also bad...

    Nobel committee warned not to award peace prize to Chinese dissident

    The Nobel peace prize is a joke these days. These guys can't even agree on any particular criteria. This prize is highly biased and doesn't carry much respect in my eyes. Though that doesn't belittle some of the recipients to whom it has been deservedly awarded. One favorite of mine is Grameen...

    Musharraf, The Only Hope for Pakistan

    So do you see any chance of IK getting in through a similar backdoor. As it stands PTI is not organized on grassroots level. Even if people wanted to vote, there may not be a PTI candidate standing up. So IKs shot is pretty limited as well, unless he reaches some understanding with the other...

    You cannot take India out of the hearts of the people of Karachi

    How is Muhammad Bin Qasim related to modern day Pakistan? Did he say anything bad about Jinnah or Iqbal? ANP is one of the bulwarks against Taliban extremists who are the real muafiqs. Sources??? Rest of your post is illegible gibberish.

    You cannot take India out of the hearts of the people of Karachi
