Rigging means to manipulate the result of the elections to suit the current government. This can be done by bribing election staff to record incorrect figures for votes to various parties. It can also be done through voter intimidation and deleting parts of the voter lists which contains...
American military has always had ability to do this with their spy satellites. It's just that an ordinary person can see these locations now, so no big deal. Interestingly, Area 51 still does not show up.
I think the terrorists will try to blow up some small, secluded polling station because the army will be at the major ones. I too hope no loss of life happens on Feb. 18. It almost seems inevitable though :cry:
I agree with you. Nobody should be handed over to the US or held in Pakistani jails without trial and a lawyer and access to their families. It is a violation of human rights. Even a terrorist deserves these things, because if we treated them like we're treating them now, we'd be no better than...
Indias per capita income at PPP is $3,802. Pakistans is $2,744.

Same rates? First of all Indias economy is much larger than Pakistans in terms of dollar value. That means a 2% growth rate difference is huge, and...
Most of these people are terrorists, but still proper procedures should be carried out. They all should get a trial, and their families should be informed of what crime they stand accussed of, and the families should be present at the trials.
Even the Nazis were not efficient enough to kill 3 million Jews in a short span of 9 months. It would take a monumental effort to ethnically cleanse that many people, it is ridiculous to suggest that Pakistan was able to kill that many people with it's meagre resources. We didn't even have any...
We see how easily Europeans travell between each others countries, there is no reason for Pakistan-India not to make it just as easy for their citizens to travel between the two countries. It will definitely help build relations. I myself have cousins in India who I've never met or heard of.
This is what our foreign office really should talk like. Have some guts and counter by pointing out the failings of the US itself, or of any country that criticizes Pakistan.
There will be 150 international election observers in Pakistan on Feb 18. The world media's attention is on Pakistan at the moment, and even Pakistani media itself is carefully keeping an eye on developments. In this enivornment I think it's very hard to rig an election of this size, so I think...
China can squeeze Americas balls easily and destroy it's economy if it attacks Pakistan. Who will America borrow from to fight a war against Pakistan? Definitely not China.
Besides, American troops and influence at China's backdoor will spur China into action. Any invasion of Pakistan by the...

By Ihtasham ul Haque
ISLAMABAD, Feb 13: Like the previous government, the caretaker set-up also has failed to secure $30 billion foreign funding needed for five big dams and mass transit systems in Karachi, Lahore and Rawalpindi.
It is against...
Pakistan has as many people as it needs. We just need to educate the population we already have. Anything above 170-180 million would mean prices of land would sky rocket compared to today, and nobody would be able to live in his own house, everyone would be forced to live in apartments.
