I feel ashamed to be Pakistani. Pakistan is more powerfull in terms of military then Iran North korea and many other nations still we dont have any guts to stand up to external threats. Our so called leaders start shivring with fear on mere phone call from there kibla (white house) .
Even countries like Venezuela without strong army are more independent then us.
I am also surprised at lot of people in this board have no shame or no problem with Pakistan bowing down in sajood towards west.
Salahuddin!
You spout more BS then you actually know!
Pakistan is powerful in terms of military but you are forgetting one crucial thing and that is "Strong Economy", which we lack.
Always remember this statement "
Pride leads to failure".
War demands very strong economy so that military operations can be funded in the time of a prolonged conflict.
What will happen when you will run out of ammunition at the time of conflict and then you don't have sufficient funds to order more?
Do you really think that our 12 Billion dollars are enough to fight a war with US???
Pakistan suffers from following things that make us weak:
- Pride.
- Corruption.
- Poor Economy. (And we still rely on Foreign Aid)
- Poor and mostly uneducated "Awaam" who can be easily exploited.
- Lack of internal Unity.
These are the 5 main reasons that make us weak and yet we choose to ignore them and go on talking about Khilafah and victories (that will be never possible unless we address the above issues).
Wake-up boy! this is 21st century!
Let us take the example of Iraq:
You say that US is facing troubles in Iraq but let me remind you that this is just a media hog-wosh and nothing else.
But on the otherhand, Iraq has lost almost everything in this war. They have been conquered and humiliated and they are still not united and killing each other.
Now there are reports that Iraq might even dis-integrate in to 3 smaller nations. What good will this do to Iraqi people, if this really happens?
Kurdish leadership has already started to show signs of break-up.
Sir! you need to see the bigger picture of events that openly show how miserable we muslims really are!
Pakistan - being more powerful then Iran and NK:
About Iran:
Iran enjoys following advantages:
- OIL reserves.
- Support of both Russia and China.
- No signs of lack of internal Unity.
Does Pakistan enjoy these advantages?
The answer is "NO". And don't tell me that China will aid us if US attacks Pakistan.
They will never set foot on our fire!
About DPRK:
Underestimating DPRK is stupid. It is a very strong nation and its geographical location is what actually saves it from attack.
DPRK shares borders with both China and Russia and both these nations are strongly against any conflict in Korean region. I mean! this is surely more then enough to keep any nation from attacking DPRK.
Another thing is that Korean people are also internally united and this is where the actual strength of Korean leadership comes from.
Venezuela:
Last time I paid attention to this and I noticed that Venezuela has nothing to fear about due to two reasons:
1) This nation does not seems to have any relations with Al-Qaeda or Saddam or Taliban.
2) And this nation was never threatened by US "to be bombed back to stone-age" after 9/11 event.

He is not advocating a war with USA. He is saying to live with diginity. Probably diginity is not a very valuable thing for you. But for majority of muslims it is. Living a state of inferiority complex is what the main aim, of WESTERN propaganda against ISLAM, all the time. You look in that trap. Get out of this complex soon. And remember charging the majority of muslims as living in a 'superiority complex or confusion' would not help you come out of this rut. And don't take this advice as an insult. I am sincere and honest with you.
Who says that we don't want to live with dignity?
And tell me one thing!!!
After 9/11 event and US threats, did we had any choice to avoid confrontation with US (if we had not sided with US)? What does our dignity have to do with this when our leadership made a wise decision?
We do not live in the state of inferiority complex sir! but understanding some ground realities does not hurts or does it?

America wouldnt dare attack Pakistan , they have agents like Busharraf doing very good job for them.
It is Pakistan fought with USSR and won. We have fought with enamy 3 times larger then us and we are still there. Its time we shaould start learning the word NO .....
America can attack any nation if it wants to. You cannot dictate about Americans regarding what they can or cannot do!
And stop calling Musharraf a Busharraf! (he knows much more then you about ground realities and geo-polictical situation of Pakistan)
Pakistan vs USSR:
Pakistan never directly engaged USSR in any battles and most of the fighting was done by Afghan mujahids when USSR invaded Aghanistan.
What we did is that we trained the Afghan mujahideen forces and provided logistical support to our Afghan brothers along with the help from CIA who actually funded the training programs and gave sophisticated weapons to both mujahideen and our armed forces to boost our fighting potential and as well as that of Afghan Mujahideen.
So in otherwords, US actually played a very vital role in ensuring victory over Russians in Afghanistan regardless of who ever did the fighting on the ground.
The Wars we fought:
Yeah! we fought 3 wars but we fought them against India (not USA!) and in one of these wars, we lost East Pakistan (now known as "Bangladesh").
Also, Indian military has almost similar fighting potential and experience as our military (because both these militaries were once part of British military forces in Sub-continent).
But now even Indians have the edge over us in two things:
- Strong Economy.
- Better Airforce and Navy.
And my advice to you salahuddin brother is that "you better open your eyes now".
