A pakistani friend of mine has pointed out how the attacks on the naval buses, Saudi diplomat and now the air base have-all in Karachi, point to a concerted effort to either attack legitimate targets of an insurgency, avoid civilian casualties or both. I thought the implications of such a...

"...So it could lead to more attacks by the US. Which is a pretty sadistic situation when your foreign policy gets dictated to by the whims of a generally racist population." Racist, eh?:lol: "ETHNIC GROUPS ...white 79.96%, black 12.85%, Asian 4.43%, Amerindian and Alaska native 0.97%...

"...our soverenighty is paramount ..." Only when it comes to America. When considering the afghan taliban upon your lands there is no issue of sovereignty. Funny thing, though, is those men are the targets of PREDATOR. Have you asked the Afghan Taliban nicely to leave your lands? Have...

"again wikileaks oh sorry CIALEAKS these leaks are getting dumber and dumber by the day..." You are a mindless child. Julian Assange is no friend of America. Nonetheless, he is simply the messenger and the messages are America's internal communications mixed with our assessments. In...

"1. Infringement of Pakistan's airspace. Did you get a Pakistani parliamentary resolution authorising you to invade its airspace with amongst others drones? Gen Musharraf was a dictator in the normal interpretation of that word so his nodding his head to your request then cannot be construed as...

"...So, there is no point to connect Dawn to wikileaks through him." Not my intent. Simply was interested that both are senior "editors" of the news, if you will. From other posts here it's clearly a common interest among the siblings.

It'll prove interesting how Pakistanis digest the trove of wikileak documents acquired from Julius Assange by DAWN. One interesting sidenote is that the head of ISPR Maj. Gen. Athar Abbas is the brother of DAWN's editor-in-chief Zafar Abbas- Newspaper In Pakistan Publishes Wikileak...

There was no hint from the article of U.S. Special Operations troops operating in combat operations with your forces. Most knowledgable observers were well-aware that U.S. SpecOps Cmd had troops in Pakistan conducting both training and intelligence collation activities among your FC troops...

"It seems like US has gone for war against pakistan without GOP knowing about it... " You are trolling. Please cease being a provocateur. Were America to go to war with Pakistan it would be irrevocably clear to all.

"...tell your government to stop the so called 'aid to Pakistan as this bribe will not change our perception that America is an enemy state." If we're an enemy state would you agree that Pakistan should make war upon Americans wherever they may be found? "...Don't you worry, we will...

"ahh, but you miss the big picture by failing to ask why the taleban are more popular and widespread now than they were a few years ago..." All the way up to 12% in the Dec. 2010 ABC/BBC/ARD polls that I've seen. Of course, your polls are so much more informative. "...You alienated the...

"OK. Looks like you are here with an axe to grind. Be my guest!" I've been "here" since December 2007 and hardly with an "axe" to grind. "I thought you wanted serious discussion and "out of the box" exchange of ideas. Apparently not so." Paying the Pakistani army $36B to "...see...

"...Your comment about duties and terrifs for NATO point to your lack of knowledge about the region..." Not so. Our transportation costs invoiced across Pakistani highways absorb a considerable surcharge for supposed road repair. "...Your response clearly shows that there are many...

"...So what needs to be done then? The only thing that can work is stabilizing Afghanistan were all major ethnic groups share power, backed by international help. And no more proxy wars, especially between India and Pakistan, in Afghanistan..." This is correct if near impossible. Little else...

"...Some of the American senators say they give "Aid" of few million a YEAR to Pak army..." They'd be wrong, of course. It's in the hundreds of millions of dollars. "...This may sound a lot to a man in the street..." It is indeed far more than the Pakistani government has given to us...

Well said, Chogy. All honor to this brave man, Colonel Arif, and the sacrifice he made on behalf of his men. May all of them rest in peace and their families and friends find comfort in God's blessing. Present Arms!

"Pakistan is already committed to the democratic system, it's just a 'sold out' one..." It is. Change it. Again and again as necessary. It's a process not born overnight. Indians struggle with corruption. CAR is as corrupt as can be. Afghanistan...obviously. Russians fight it...

"...Well, the civilian population who are at the receiving end of these drone attacks count the deads every time there's a drone strike." EVERY time, eh?:lol: Well, the taliban are civilians, are they not? When they cordon off a strike site and count the dead do they share it with you...

"...please get this in your heads that your so called 'aid is for the ruling elite so they can watch out for your interests and do all your dirty work." No, Abu Basit. You get it in YOUR HEAD that there's not a damned thing you can do to stop that aid. Our choice. Our decision. Hopefully...

"So the USA just plainly ignored China's recent warnings that 'an attack on Pakistan is an attack on China'" ?:undecided:" Evidently. Then again, if we attacked terrorists was that an attack upon Pakistan? Maybe, eh?:rolleyes: Thanks.:usflag:
