No, I meant what I wrote. Not that I need to explain it to you, but voting in a party into the power is a common expression. Now off you go back to school - and remember, whilst you're there, get to grips with spelling. It's 'should', not 'shoud'. Goodbye.

And yet they voted in the PPP! Such a shame :P

Nail. On. Head. I was there in May 2010, was fortunate enough to have VIP seats, and have 'backstage' access after the ceremony ended. I can certainly say that the atmosphere was nationalistic, full of passion, and rather celebratory. I could see the smiles on the faces of both people. It...

Well, the people are happy to go along with this, no one rises up, so the PPP believe they have free reign to carry out these Stalinist acts. Some other recent abuses of the Bhutto name I managed to Google include: Islamabad Airport = Benazir Bhutto International Airport New Islamabad...

Well, looks like we need more Indian tomatoes! I came back from Pakistan last Wednesday and they were going for Rs.120/kg where I was. Ridiculously high.

Well, if we take our own example, the only people currently providing the checks and balances are journalists, reporters and anchors. Whether they're going about it in the right way or not for some, they are doing it. Who else is placing the corrupt and inefficient politicians on the spot, or...

What a farce :angry: We're at one of the most critical junctures in our foreign affairs, so we decide to hand out perhaps the most important portfolio to a 34 year old with a degree in hospitality management! But then again, am I meant to be surprised with these clowns in charge?

And there we have it, the psyche of 'they did this to us, we must do it to them' continues. Why don't you understand that we helped create MB through our own vile actions. Given the strategic disadvantage we found ourselves in, India assisted them for their own strategic gain. But if you're...

Self pity? Why would there be self-pity? The only thing I bank upon is realism, seeing the current landscape for what it is, questioning whether our policies are taking us forward as a nation and if perpetual conflict, confrontation and emnity with India benefits us, and if so, how? Living in...

Kayani will come to his senses, as will the others. We were close last time, and that will happen again God willing. So you want Musharraf charged for treason for working hard to find a realistic and plausible solution to the dispute? The guy deserves the highest honour of the land in my books...

Perhaps the fact that I'm Pakistani might just be a clue. I know it may shock you, but a Pakistani that doesn't scream 'Kashmir Banega Pakistan' can still be a Pakistani you know.

And nor would I expect any sovereign nation to do such a thing. Strategic interests come first, all else is secondary. However as the point has been made, it allows both nations to save face. And with an expected withdrawal of substantial security personnel in the Valley as a result, the...

Absolutely, it was a win-win situation. Sadly the Chief Justice bakwaas kicked in and Musharraf was left weak and isolated. But let's remember the wider point: Musharraf was able to push this through as a military man, with the Corps Commanders on board - including one certain Gen Kayani. So if...

I think the Shia's, Ahmadi's, Christians of Pakistan, and Salman Taseer's family would like to challenge that statement and throw their hat into the ring. Look, let's not move away from the point of the thread, but look how weak your argument stacks up when you say such things as a Pakistani...

But does he not have a point? Pakistani's up until recently have clung on to the mantra of 'Kashmir banega Pakistan'. Something that was a misnomer fed to the public who bought it hook, line and sinker. The most obvious thing that I've noticed over the last 10 years is that such a view is...

It has been demonstrated with the Arab uprising that this statement has some merit. But whatever anger there is, it is concentrated within the Valley. So this doesn't apply to Kashmir in the broadest sense - just a small area within that area. Drill down further and you have differing...

Do I think India will attack Pakistan tomorrow? In the next 6 months? A year or two from now? Absolutely not. Why would they? For what reason and purpose? Let me see who has a cause to feel threatened, and where the legitimate threats have emanated from in recent years. I can think of a few...

Come on bro, I think that's slightly unfair. Afridi has gone on record to say his sacking as captain was handled pathetically by the PCB. He's one of the leading lights and most senior players, yet Butt and his gang did it in a disrespectful way. Then you have his claim that one of the senior...

Great news if true. However, I would've preferred our own boys bringing him in, or taking him out. Oh well, it opens another debate about the benefits of drone attacks, against those wishing to end them.

Since when did the victim appeal to the criminal for help?
