Civilization existed in our part of the world LONG before the English showed up. I suggest you read up on South Asian history before commenting on it. Modern day India, Pakistan and Bangladesh have been part of the same "empire" for thousands of years. Even so called "independent nation states"...

I'm glad you worked it out with what's his face like a gentleman and a scholar. That said, I was hoping you could elaborate a little more on what you said earlier. If India is merely a "by product" of British Imperialism, what exactly is Pakistan? Here are my thoughts, in case you were...

You're probably right, but its nothing you guys haven't seen (or done) before. I think you're missing my point. Paying someone to attack a soft target isn't the same as actually ordering the Indian military to cross the border. I'm talking about "proportionate" retaliation, i.e. you guys...

So what do you propose we do? cause asymmetric warfare has gotten us no where in 70 years

Don't make the mistake of assuming a foreign power has your interests in mind. South Asians have made that mistake before, most notably with the English. The Chinese have strategic/economic interests of their own. The same goes for Russia and India.

Buddy people to people relations is how "natural" alliances are forged. There is a reason the US gets on with the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. You're probably still relatively young but ethnicity, race and culture play a much bigger role than you think. We've been arguing about this...

Will Young - Tell Me the Worst (Fred Falke Remix)

The Arabs/Iranians have no love for Pakistanis either. I say this as someone who was born and raised in the middle east. Don't take my word for it, ask any other Pakistani or Indian living in the GCC. They would never invite you to their house for Eid, but we'd have you over for Diwali every...

Relax dude, if America didn't attack Pakistan after 9/11 and Abottabad, there's no way India will ever cross the IB. You have 180 million people and nuclear weapons, I think you'll be just fine. You've gotta be able to separate bravado meant to galvanize voters from our strategic constraints...

You say you're concerned about reality and go on to claim Pakistan's future lies with Turkey, China and "friendly" western powers. You are deluding yourself into thinking any of these folks give a rats a$$ about Pakistan, its people or its culture. The far right is rising throughout the west...

Well like I said in my previous comment: "A more pragmatic and long term solution would be to "trace" the attack back to the Kashmir valley, blame separatists and humanely deport 500,000 Kashmiris over the LoC. Pakistan will not attack Kashmiri civilians and we've already got the entire place...

From an Indian perspective, I don't think we have a lot of room to maneuver in Kashmir. We can't afford to embolden separatists when we've got several low-level ethnic/political insurgencies raging all over the country. Furthermore, South Asia is one of the most water scarce regions on earth. We...

I'm fairly certain he doesn't know what it's going to look like either. Him and everyone with an IQ > 100. Lets not forget we're talking about a real estate developer/reality tv show host with no experience in public policy or government whatsoever. Everything he said was nothing more than...

Ahh, still here I see. Not sure if you remember me, but I used to be fairly active on the forum way back in '10/11. Figured I'd drop by and see how you guys were doing without me. How are things bro?

Thanks man

Congratulations dude. Looks like shaadi's on the cards now huh?

The name definitely rings a bell. How are things bro?

Imran Khan!! I remember you bro, you're the guy from Saudi Arabia right? How are you dude? its been far too long. You still in SA? Thanks man, its good to be back. Those were the days man, lol. I've been going through my comment history and it almost feels like it was written by someone...

Thanks! Hmmm perhaps. I'll have to go through my comment history to figure it out, but that name does sound familiar. Thats too bad. I definitely remember below_freezing and ek_indian. Has Asif left for good or does he drop by once in a while too? What about that Pakistani journalist...

Thanks! Are any of the folks I mentioned still around? I'm going through my comment history (oh boy) to try and find em. I doubt that's going to be much of an issue any more. I mostly just came back to catch up with old friends
