Absolutely disgraceful. Having a disagreement is one thing, but stooping to such a low level to prove your point is just unbelievable. Israelis are sore losers.
It's a column for goodness sake! It's merely an opinion. Don't make an elephant out of a fly please.
Do the Pakistanis owe you something to react to any thread of your liking? It's your problem if you want to believe in fairy tales.
"China has more than once said that it has created an engine for its planes, but this is unlikely because it continues to buy Russian engines"
What is the status of locally produced engines at the moment and is there any truth in the above statement? Can a knowledgeable Chinese member shed any...
The number of Afghan civilians killed in violence in 2009 was higher than in any year since the Taliban were ousted in 2001, a United Nations report says.
Civilian casualties rose by 14% in 2009 compared with 2008, the UN Mission in Afghanistan (Unama) reported.
It said the "vast majority"...
The feeling is that the US is sucking up to India for their own interests. The US wants to create a rift between two emerging powers. Instead, India should resolve all of their conflicts on the table with the concerned parties. India, China and Pakistan will be here long after the US is gone and...
If US offers something in the shape of military aid it's supposed to be contributing towards an arms build up aimed against India? Yet, when it's a military sale it isn't? That's an odd comparison.
As far as I'm concerned, the final nail in the coffin for US Pak relations was delivered when...

I would substitute exploitation with genuine. The local grievances are genuine. I don't think that Islamic parties are going to play a...

Before caring so much about the plight of a handful of your dear Bahai friends, how about acknowledging the genocide in Iraq? For me that's a catastrophe comparable to the Holocaust. An Iraqi Holocaust committed by the US to be precise. Boy oh boy, your conscience must be guilty as hell.
^^ Yep, let's play the victim card here. Very convenient. Let the trials begin before we draw any foregone conclusions. These people have been found guilty of a grave crime in any country. Whether they happen to be Bahais is tough luck. They have a chance of proving their innocence. Not a...
Well, that's usually my case in many threads of this forum. Backstabbing and double standards are part and parcel of US foreign policy. Too bad our establishment never realizes this.
Perhaps you're under the illusions that because the world has changed that somehow countries will pick sides. You're wrong. In a war no country will pick any side unless ulterior motives (i.e. hegemonic interests, long-standing disputes) are at stake. The last thing the world would want is an...
^^ Well, let's leave that to the future. These are all speculations. Fate can change things in instant. Let's just wait till things really materialize.
