DAWN.COM | Pakistan | Wasted youth: Reflections on the British Council report A very interesting and insightful report. The article however can be definited by a visibly skewed political opinion from the writer or editors. To me it was quite offensive how he finds "alarming" the fact that...

This is a serious issue no doubt, but I'd appreciate it if people don't try to push in their motivated views that do not hold relevance. Be that about America or Pakistan. No emotional outbursts please.

Do we have any idea of what actually irked the Navy? I have some ideas...

By making sure, one way or another, that the Afghan government is, if not friendly, un-antagonistic and respectful of Pakistan's territorial sovereignty. There is not much of an Afghan government in place right now, so obviously things are complicated. Aid is not a threat to us per se. You...

You hit the nail on the head there. I believe the actual term Strategic Depth means nothing like retreating into a third country. The Pakistan Army is not built that way, simply put. By all accounts if the Lahore-Karachi highway is breached then the nuclear threshold will be achieved. Not that...

It doesn't matter what imagery or vocabulary Bush or some elements in the US military use. He had a contract with an officially secular institution (the fact that he, being a Muslim, was allowed to achieve a position there that enabled him to do so much harm attests to that). No one can be...

^You many consider Mr. Araz's words a mod edict. We appreciate the rich arguments put forward by both sides on the issue, these things need to be talked about. But not on this thread. If so inclined, please start another thread and I'd be happy to shift your posts there. This thread is about...

Even then, he had signed an agreement. Sworn an oath. You don't join the army to flee at the moment you're called upon. And you certainly don't turn your gun on your comrades. Whatever the source of this, there can be no justification. When he joined the US military, did he really think he won't...

Whoever did this, Muslim or otherwise, is a bastard and a traitor to his country. An oath breaker. And thats that.

From what I've heard, Pakistan has 'modified' her riposte strategy to take into account these Indian plans. The dangers Cold Start poses to our own offensive operations has been taken into account, thats all the information we have to be honest.

If you spot an inappropriate post then just report it, it'll be taken care of.

A very astute point there, as usual Araz bhai. But see the thing is that we're talking about the intentions as well as the actions. My point is that even normal people, and yes I do realize the vagueness of this line, should they be given the capacity will not hesitate to affiliate with the US...

I didn't insult anyones country. Please think about the tone and context of my words before you fling accusations. If you're referring to the term 'Great Devil' then please remind yourself that I posted them in quotation and with sarcasm as that is how many anti-Americanists refer to it. Its...

You're certainly right. But like you yourself pointed out, the present and preceding Pakistani leadership was faced with exceptional circumstances in terms of the tribal areas which are undoubtedly hosting international terrorists. Everything is relative. With an affair of this nature, we don't...

I'm afraid you misunderstood me sir. Your post was already dumb and incoherent, you just made it dumber. I've never argued that the 'great devil' is unjust in 'exploiting' us. None of that is relevant to the line of my contentions. If you have some relevant thoughts to my posts, then please do...

Just because the leaders in countries that you mentioned are democratically elected, doesn't mean they cannot be termed ruling elites. Democracy is flawed in Pakistan indeed, but democracy is not perfect anywhere else either. Stick to the issue and address my argument instead of ranting. HOW is...

No more than the rulers of any other country that has allied itself to the US. Ordinary people in Pakistani or of Pakistani origin, as much as they like to rant themselves hoarse at America's foreign policy, still like nothing more than to get US citizenship. Point being, everyone interacts with...

This is not a good start you're getting off to. We like to keep things strictly relevant on threads, otherwise if everyone were to rant then they'd be no point to the discourse. But since you're clearly confused, I'll indulge you for a bit. If Pakistan is looking for ways to identify Indian...

Hi. Just go to the advanced options when you're making a post and you'll see an upload option there somewhere. If you have trouble just ask Bezerk, he is the expert.

Thank you, I appreciate that.
