“”I agree with your suggestion about FATA having to be reintegrated back into Pakistan proper””. Yes. Absolutely! FATA should be merged with NWFP and full human and constitutional rights restored. GoP can adopt Shariah laws and appoint competent judges well versed with the Shariah laws. But...

Dear Kasrkin: You really made me feel proud of being a Pakistani. “”He is our country-man, we have to try. Like it or not it is the likes of him PA is fighting for”” I am a minority here with my contrarian views. Pakistan Defence is a specialized forum focused on...

Dear waraich66 “”but here problem is how to tackle mad super power ready to crush every thing in way of its intrest of oil resources in central asia and safe trade routes located in muslim countries.”” The fact is that the “mad Super Power” is not really so...

Dear asaad-ul-islam: Following a Sunnah of not bowing head to tyranny does not mean that Baitullah Mehsud or any other Taliban leader is being COMPARED to Hazrat Imam Hussein. This is what I wrote: “”My dear there is No Comparison as such. Betullah Mahsud is not equal even to dust on the shoes...

Dear Truthseeker: I love the core values on which America is founded; pluralism, freedom and enterprise. American people are absolutely remarkable in their humane demeanor, philanthropy and respect for humanity. American society is probably the most pro-active in commitments to human dignity...

I have little knowledge of thse things. The little bit I know, there are two types of data buses on F-16 Blk 52 (i) MIL-STD-1553B deals with air data, communications, Nav/Attack, and some Radar mode functions (ii) Mil-Std-1760 is the Stores management bus that integrates the weapons, stores...

Dear friends. Swat is an integral part of Pakistan, not exactly located on an alien planet. You can reach Mingora in just about 4 hours from Islamabad. Move around; do a bit of sight seeing towards Madyan and Bahrain. Go and see for yourself what Taliban “rule” is all about. About...

Dear S-2: You have articulated the same neo-Con reasoning for your presence in Afghanistan which Pakistani people in general, and those from FATA in particular just do not buy. The 9/11 tragedy was a crime against humanity. Without dwelling into myriad of conspiracy theories, the operation was...

S-2: I am afraid you did not get it! Predator cannot differentiate between innocent bystanders and real guys. Therefore the real guys are "killed" multiple times to keep you guys in good humor.

Both Russia and Pakistan should realign their foreign policies in view of the changing dynamics of Central Asia. During the Bush years the USA / NATO tightened the nooze around Russia in the guise of “colored” Revolutions. Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Georgia, Kirghiz all joined NATO...

Both JF-17 and J-10 are worthwhile investments. The price tag will cease to matter if the Pakistani Defense industry gets meaningful work share in the J-10 program as well. F-16 Blk 52 may not really suffer from "embedded code" issues as to make them unflyable. But under the terms of the FMF...

The US has used its surrogates and our corrupted leaders to Scare us to Death from an impending Attack since late 2001. If the US really had the capacity it would hold on to an Oil Rich Iraq by the skin teeth. Even there the US threw the towel, declared victory and handed the country to an Iran...

Pakistan has been fighting the American war on Terror virtually free of charge. We have been stupid enough to take the Ownership of the war, for rather paltry wages. Great swaths of our territory have been frozen out of national economic mainstream due to Army operations. the real cost is...

Some weeks ago Pakistan Army had established the writ of the State everywhere. This article may be a fig of imagination.

Classic case of Recycling of "Terrorist Kingpins".

Karskin: Thanks for an Excellent Post. Very informative and very good illustration of a rather complex logic why should we fight for the USA. “” In Pakistan's case however, all the Americans have asked for in exchange of an alliance is that we keep our territory from being utilized...

Dear Ice Cold: I guess we are all free to express our views at this forum as long as we stay within the bounds of decency. Misuse or abuse of SSG in FATA is in the context of their mission. Was the SSG raised to fight solely on Pakistani territory? If not, please compare a listing of their...

Dear Karskin: 1) Your analogy to the “Sulah Hudeibiyah” is not applicable to Pakistan’s current situation. Pakistan State and the Army is directly involved in war against its own Muslim citizens, even though it is under a quasi-agreement with the USA. By the way, Pakistan...

Dear All-Green: Your article is Fantastic, both in its depth and coverage. I take this opportunity to highlight certain aspects of a rather complex situation. Back in 2001 most people in FATA or Afghanistan had no love lost for Taliban, with the possible exception of certain clans in...
