Your point about China leveraging from India's not so-good relations with its neighbors is fair. And that does seem to be the current scenario. Countries like Nepal and SL threaten to play India against China and use their new found closeness to China as a bargaining chip. But my point is that...

Do you also have a conspiracy theory radar?

Funny, how every Pakistani here forgets how their Army responds to peace proposals. We talked, remember? Hell, we even took a bus decked with peace doves to your doorsteps, remember? What did that fetch us? A 1000 lives at Kargil. Wrt to our relations with Pakistan, though I'd like for us to...

Ok. Didnt mean to. But the acknowledgment itself is enough for me.

I agree with the article. There isnt a definite way to straightjacket the Jihadi in Pakistan. Ajmal Kasab was unemployed and came from a poor background in rural Punjab. The would be NY-bomber, Ahmed Shahzad (though some'd argue he doesnt really fall in this category) was well-off, well educated...

Did we even hit them first?

Bet Australia came up with that objective after it came under the US nuclear umbrella.

Your attempts at generalizing are unsurpassed.

Programs change with governments. I am more hopeful of Gilliard's regime.

GoI should first let them confirm enriched uranium supplies for our reactors.

Dont kid yourself, Taimi. Those bombers were regular visitors to Pakistan and probably Afghanistan as well. The British authorities collected evidences where they were trained in Pakistan. They were indoctrinated by people both in UK and in Pakistan. I am not trying to paint the whole of...

We will make it legal, as the govt. is probably considering. But I dont think that will solve the problem. No offence, but as long as Pak cricketers are from poor backgrounds and there's disparity between other teams' earnings, stuff like fixing will happen. I think these players were tempted...

Nice pretense by our diplomats. Lets keep it up for their consumption. As our recent purchases suggest, our strategy will remain the same, Cold Start or whatever term.

I think UK shouldn't give him asylum. He isn't a political refugee or a religious one and threats to him don't qualify him as one. He is a criminal who should be tried in the court of law. Or give him asylum on the condition that he will have to face the British courts, if proved guilty. Lets...

Interesting article. I am tempted to think that the internal security scenario has a lot to do with the declining corporate profits. The de-listing of companies is a very alarming sign. What would be interesting to see is similar metrics for the growth years under Musharraf. Was the private...

I hope you're right.:)

I think probably less. My hunch is that as people get educated, their income levels rise and disparities vanish, there would be a lesser incentive to be corrupt. I am drawing a parallel with the developed economies here. 50-70 years back, there levels of corruption was probably similar to...

Already replied to your points in other posts and these are valid point. But I still think we didnt need a F1 track

Benny, first of all, there arent going to be thousands of jobs. Apart from the unskilled labor used during construction, I dont think running a F1 race wont need more high-skilled folks than say a regular international cricket test match or the IPL series. I also agree about this being a...

It might be Gulli Danda for us educated urban folks, but hundreds others sweat it out in the non-AC gyms and the akharas and win medals for the country. Thats real reputation for me. I understand the probable employment that it will generate. In all probability the real high-skilled jobs...
