Hi,
Is it a first incidence of any kind that the executions ( deaths by friendly fire )carried out by the u s millitary and the whitewash NOT been accepted by the recipient nation---I don't recall any other nation standing up like that to the u s----.
Now pakistan has the oppurtunity to re-write the deal again---pakistan must ask for one years expenses in advance and reserve and one years expenses upfront as a security deposit---and by the end of the 10th month---the payment for the next year should be received in full---. Any delay will result in fines starting at a minimum of $50 million plus 20% of the yearly expense---and if money not received within 45 days---the right of way will be closed---security deposit forfeited---and can be re-opened with another security deposit of $250 million and two years expenses up front---.
Does the millitary have the courage and strength to do it---the civilian govt doesnot have the ballz---they are running on u s's goodwill as of now. Pak millitary needs to use the media to its advantage---Haqqani had destroyed pakistan's image in the U S.
On the other hand---pak millitary must strike harder on the al qaeda and their cohorts---strike hard---strike deep and take them out.
Wait Santro, let's not go there.
How many times have the Pakistanis soldiers attacked an indian soldier just because he was a Hindu? Or did OBL and party slammed the planes because they were attacking Christens? We fought on our east because we saw an enemy who was eyeing us as an Indian, not because he reads Mahabharat (notwithstanding the fact that dissection and unification of Mother India was religious enough), similarly 9/11 happened because someone thought that what America does is wrong, not because they wanted to built a mosque where once the twin towers stood.
Jesus Rifles (the ideology that follows through it) and having the slogan of Imaan, Taqwa, Jehad Fi Sabillalah are not the same thing, if you get what i am trying to say here.
But as you very rightly pointed out that "Without hate.. there can be no motivation for a war for resources", they have to 'create' some foggy enemy (in this case, the religion of Islam ---> the country that holds its biggest banner), which they have succeeded to quite an extent, as visible from the status of the ex-marine.
So when you reply "Yes" to V's post, it implies as if Pakistan Armed Forces have been initiating wars (as many believe) with india (or Kashmir or covert acts) not because they were defending (even if it was a Preemptive action - if you know, like 'Riposte' and 'Counter-Offensive', 'Preemption' is a DEFENSIVE action, not an offensive one) itself, but because their religion/ideology (which in turn translate into hate) said so.
So as you rightly said, Hate is necessary for war for resources (western case), it is not necessary for war for survival (our case now and in the past).
P.S. Ok, now i am myself confused.
Over half the people who responded to my questionnaire said they had formed their impressions of Iran via people they knew. Perhaps not surprising as Iran borders Pakistan and is closer to India than Iraq. However, three quarters of respondents were still effected by the news media. And about the same as Iraq (roughly half) felt their perception of Iran was affected by government statements. Again, an interesting finding. All research points to government and media being the least trusted, yet there appears to be a case for acknowledging that trusted or not, it has an impact on how we perceive.
Not just Zardari and company, but many more achkans and khakis alike, I am sure.

Afghan establishment will be held accountable and if they dont get their acts together, then Pakistan will be neighbours with Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan very soon.
all options are on the table to keep aggression in check. . .
all that's needed are the orders. Diplomacy is always most preferred option but unfortunately, vendettas and evil agendas preclude common sense and decency.
Who is Pakistan? All our ministers and ambassadors are either American or British!!!!!!!!!
it's our domestic policies that have been much to our nation's peril......on a broader level, our foreign policy hasn't been TOO far off course....though I think certain weaknesses have been exhibited especially since 2001
they must ask america to accept India has no role in afghanistan.
@VCheng,
Reading between the lines, I agree with your basic premise that might makes right and that, regardless of the facts, Pakistan must tread very carefully. The Western media are on the lookout for the slightest faux pas by Pakistan so they can zoom in and change the narrative.
