It is a shame that since President Truman in 1947 signed off on recognition of Israel, while at the same time the UN Resolution creating both Palestine and Israel, was rejected by then in power nations such as the old Egyptian regime (now in 2014 recognize Israel); Jordan (now in 2014 recognize...

I lived and worked in Karachi (63-65) at the old US Embassy there. Arrived shortly after President Kennedy was assassinated. Relations were good, intially, as Pakistan and the US both belonged to both CENTO and SEATO. However President Ayub Khan (Field Marshall Khan) did not want to support...

I did a poor job of commenting on this topic. Here I go again: 1. Pakistan needs to have reciprocal low or no import/export duties with Afghanistan, taking into account that Afghanistan is a land locked nation. 2. When parity, 1=1 is reached between Pakistan and Aghanistan, as one or the...

Since Afghanistan is land locked, Pakistan should go out of it's way to allow duty free commerce thru it's Gwadar Port into Afghanistan. The two nations can work out a commerce treaty with a simple percentage of either gross or net revenue of all such commerce earned by Afghan businesses and/or...

As an outside observer here in the US I would think the first major improvement in these areas if made into a unified single Province would be improved tourism, which creates jobs and good cash flow. Having a unified government with public schools, courts, health and medical care improvements...

Top 10 Naval Forces in The World | TopTensWorld - Part 3 Little if any ranking change for end of 2013 vs. end of 2012. A "smart" country today is focused on jobs, jobs, jobs, economic growth, and world trade. Using too much of any nation's, particularly emerging and poorer nations (that...

Military: List of the Top 10 Largest Navies in the World The list, as current in October, 2012 is very legitimate. You are simply uninformed and living in a knowledge bubble. Think worldwide instead of just your geographical area of the globe. Facts are facts, but rankings do change every...

TOP 10 NAVIES OF THE WORLD AS OF DATE OF ARTICLE below. Obviously commentators on this topic are hugely uninformed, probably teenagers. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2012 List of the Top 10 Largest Navies in the World This list of the Top 10 Largest Navies in the World takes into account those...

IF such a staged news story were true, the Iranian Navy would have to have pre-agreed ports of call and/or at sea refueling tanker ship, which I doubt Iran currently has. In fact the present day Iranian Navy, even back to the Shah's era, is mainly small boats.

I agree that what is done is done, in that "a" constitution exists, with changes as other and I have noted, over time. Yes, my comments are idealistic. Generally in the US we recognized our legal system to have evolved as follows: 1. Mosiac law from the Ten Commandments in our Holy Bible Old...

I was serving in my USAF Liaison Officer job with the old US Embassy in Karachi in 1965 when Miss Jinnah ran for Presidenet against Field Marshal Ayub Khan, the incumbent. Pakistan's electoral process then was referred to as "basic democracy." Young (early 20s, same age as me, I was 25))...

Your response is very thorough and to my understanding as an outsider very accurate. Perhaps Pakistan would yet best be served by the original British style of a Constitution. one that is largely unwritten but for the precepts and precedents that flow down in most laws of the world today as...

I myself am a Protestant, a Methodist, but this particular quote of the Pope at that time in history, as used by you today, I fully agree with.

Does no Pakistani care about telling us the history since 1973 to 2014 of how the present day Constitution now stands? What does the Pakistan Constitution as of January 22, 2014 say about the Armed Forces of Pakistan and how they shall be organized? About the civilian government of Pakistan...

I know of no Israelis who served (military) inside Pakistan while I was there from 1963-65. Iran during 1963-65 had military equipment dealings with Israel, as did the old South African regmine prior to Nelson Mandela becoming he first black head of government in South Africa. Factually...

The constituent assembly of Pakistan (Bengali: পাকিস্তান গণপরিষদ, Pākistān Gaṇāpāriṣād; Urdu: آئین ساز اسمبلی, Aāin Sāz Asimblī‎), was formed to write Pakistan's constitution, and serve as its first parliament. It first convened on August 11, 1947, on the eve of independence and the end of...

It is my impression that Mr Jennah's first Constitution of Pakistan was less a theocratic governance system than some would think it to be now in 2014. That is an internal affair for Pakistanis to decide of course. But it might make for another new topic for today's discussion? I...

This is good news indeed. In years past I was corresponded with via e-mail from Swat, the NWFP and the "raw frontier" by parents of children then, the early to mid-2000s wanted more computer education, coupled with languages then taught...your comments sound as if more languages are now taught...

Your omit others remarks here to include Singapore. During President Jimmy Carter's one term in office I was offered but declined the political appointment in 1976 of the Deputy US Peace Corp Director for and in Malaysia, which then, but not now, included Singapore as part of/the capital of...
