For the foreseeable future,(5-10 years) We should not consider any aircraft system other than JFT - this time frame offers us the opportunity to reorganize PAC as a public/private enterprise with shares traded internationally - this will bring in greater funds and allow PAC to set additional...

Hmmm? No I think you have this wrong, not that Pakistan has engaged and may yet continue to engage in using non-state actors (terrorism) as a foreign policy tool - where you are mistaken, at least to my thinking, is not taking into account that the direction (Islamism/terrorism) is a direction...

Basic problem is something else - basic problem is that there is no respect for managing things in order to make make profits or at least not make losses -- And this says a lot about how essentially "Indian" the Pakistan are.

Azaz Syed thinks that the Army is about a general or generals, it isn't, Generals are an expression of the institution that is the army. Mr. Sharif has gotten himself cornered on the issue by the CJP - he did not want a confrontation with the Army, and he has been advised tt Mr. Musharraf's...

That's too optimistic -- I am sure you are aware that many Western companies are selling their assets in Pakistan, even though other Western companies are entering the market --- As a comparison, what would you make of the size of the middle class and the purchasing power of both state and...

Islam not just a Scapegoat, it is also the motivation for bloodshed - We are of course offended by this suggestion but we cannot be blind to the fat that it is true

On one hand the handsome Taliban are vessels of purity motivated by True Islam and should be supported because they seek to impose true shariah on innocent Pakistanis and when that bit of BS has no buyers, they come up with " would you believe RAW, NDS, Mossad??" So which is it boys and girls...

It's like a mad house - the topic is Pakistani politicians and their deceptive narrative and how people have surrendered their own critical faculties to their "leaders" - and almost on cue, "hey don't anti PTI and we could hve, should hve Get real - give them credit when it's due

Nawaz desires high speed train in Pakistan And people in hell desire ice cold water Ok, settle down - can the railways make money from this? Make money? :astagh: -- Railways are not for making money, it's for the Awaam, so they make losses - but Nawaz needs prestige projects (legacy)

Kaka - Chinese Model, Malaysian model, both depend on a robust economy and implementation, lest we honest with each other, this is Pakistan we are talking about. But the important question, a question that must be answered before any security (sikurty) policy, is Who and what are the Talib...

Rubbish! Pakistani politicians have become masters of deception and silly tricks to confuse their support base who i turn have given over to their "leaders" what may have passed as thought process. PTI that cannot win Lahore, but has won London?

Can Nawaz Sharif find the missing ‘E’? Dr Haider Shah Before the general elections held in May 2013, I had referred to a newspaper article written by Bruce Reidel, the strategy advisor to President Barack Obama on Afghanistan, in which he had critically examined the importance of 2013 for...

These are conscious choices being made in a consumer society about what's important to them -- the Parsi community has another problem, which is that Parsi and Zardohsti are not identities that as relevant to the community as to others.

But why make it a reservation for religious minorities? -- See anyway you may wish to respond to this, you cannot evade how it plays I think instead of defensive and aggressive responses, perhaps PTI would be better served to get out of the caste/religion/occupation business SpringOnion makes...

I'm struck by defensive responses like none of some authors business and such, that's most unfortunate - but some respondents have hit on a important idea that they have not developed - one respondent claimed that the reason parents chose one child is because everything is now more expensive...

Sadly you are spot on - but I hope we will not let that stand in our way, a wrong can be righted anytime, at least in my book

The world is changing fast, the JFT PROGRAM (not just the ship) was meant to keep the PAF meaningful - please move away from this idiot fascination with cost - after all, is there a Dollar value to your freedom as a Pakistani?? If there is please do tell the Indian and they will afford you...

I'm not sure I understand, maybe you could rephrase it

@SpringOnion I do appreciate that you have a different and more developed understanding of the job dynamics - - What I think you do not appreciate is how the story is playing - and really it cannot but play that way. Naya Pakistan in which Untouchables are religious minorities -- a whole lot...

Bring them all to Pakistan - make the wrong a right
