Batman. I spent half an hour answering you only to lose the post due to a stupidity of mine. tells you how computer savvy i am. Anyways let me explain again.
I feel sorry for ur loss. It happens to all of us. Believe it or not it happened to me also.
I was logged off due to time and than press submit and in the process some where I lost all what I wrote and I also had to write again...
The brilliant thing was the first few days of the incident. Instead of a typical Pakistani knee jerk chest thumping response, he adopted a much low key approach. He assured them of all possible help and assistance. there wasa reason for it.
Pakistan never had a chest thumping approach in history but we have witnessed much better return diplomacy in earlier times. neither have we seen india so much offensive and surprisingly Pakistan govt. is keeping the activities of RAW in low profile!
There was no reason to adopt a defencive approach while all allegations were full of flaws.
It was clearly mastermind of hawks of india and failure of their navy, intelligence and police and I doubt any individual or bunch of few terrorists can ever cross into india in their convenience right at the moment when india was running a diplomatic campaign against Pakistan on similar grounds.
Ever wonder why such attacks never took place while Musharraf was in control? and never Pakistan agreed and with such an eagerness is some thing a dramatic shift in foreign policy.
All I could remember of Zardari’s brilliance is that his first response was to hand in ISI chief on first call which was perhaps immediately after the CARNAGE.
It does not matter what the dossier contains or does not contain. It was international opinion which was against pakistan.
You think Accepting the baseless blame would have turned international opinion in Pakistan's favor?
There was no international opinion as such becuase of the ongoing discovery of involvement of indian army and security agencies in past genocides of indian Muslims.
if in those circumstances, India had struck, the world would have backed it and pressure on us would have prevented us from responding.
No one was backing up the flawed drama even Interpol had acquitted Pakistan from any links.
Any folly may have committed but US was never in from beginning. Indian strike may have seriously jeopardize American interests in region and may have risked the lives of US soldier in the region.
banning a few organizations and arresting a few men, threw India off balance and gave us the initial few days to respond. The subsequent international diplomacty done by his Government helped in diffusing international pressure. It then became possible for us to aggressively defend our position. Also it bought the Army time to make any changes to counter any aggressive designs. Now whether it was Zardari or his team or ISI, it was nicely done and needs to be appreciated.
This is your opinion but I would never favor sacrificing any person or body on mere demand of enemy state, who’s only objective is to brand Pakistan as they wish.
I dont have a NADRA card but hold a NICOP. As far as I know it does not hold DNA information. As such it would not have been of any benefit to get DNA sample. Please let me know if i am wrong
NICOP and NIC both are same, only difference is printed language and address but this prove you as of Pakistani origin.
DNA info is not there but in absence of DNA samples. we can only look for a person in national database and if he is not there in any form than he is not technically Pakistani and this is all what matter.
There is no need to spend more resources on any further investigations based on flawed dossier.
Just because he cabinet is big does not mean that it is capable. I think most of them are leeches sucking pakistan,s blood. I have asked one of my WB friend to comment on the people in his cabinet. i will feed back to you when he responds. Secondly it is one thing to have advisers and another thing to be able to advise or even listen to others advise.
You said he is handicap becuse he does not have luxury of economists etc. but now if you suggest that his mammoth cabinet and advisers are inept than it is only Zardari to be blame and indicate his own ineptness or tendency.
I have a few observations. As an insider you may say that pakistani problems are created by the media. However , to a person from outside pakistan, it is that media which dictates their response and also your credit ratings. I agree that Zardari has caused a lot of damage to the country's economy by not taking appropriate action but the reserves and capital flight are not entirely his doing and things had started to get rough from december onwards. Your fuel bills were causing you a major headache.
Gas and electricity issues were there because it was becoming expensive to run the plants on furnace oil, and a lot of companies decided to close plants rather than run them at a loss. The plant in karachi was an example.Also please understand that blaming him for elctricity shortage is really unfair.
Since last one year most of the industries have been closed down reducing burden on national grid but at the same time Zardari inducted political activists or appointed them key positions in various state organizations which resulted in poor operations hence we have witnessed worst of Pakistan’s history.
I only blame undue appointments and this is the first backstabbing any political govt. has always done to the national security of Pakistan.
Agree with that. However anyone investing money in another country like Pakistan would be cautious specially under prevailing circumstances.
I’m saying, even if you wish to invest Zardari clan will force you to go packing.
They have closed various ongoing projects. Even though those were financed by foreign investors.
Care to explain this one. Just because my opinion is different from yours gives you the right to accuse me!!Please note that i find this remark of yours insulting and unbecoming of a fellow Pakistani.
i am sorry to have confusse dyou. By selling I meant a metaphoric sale rather than an actual sale. It implies that you have given them a facility in return for a favour. This is not wrong. Pakistan has given access to the chinese and there is news of a Chinese base in the area. in return China has built you a Seaport.However, this is based on mutual interests rather than just a gift of love from the Chinese.
You have impliedthat i have perhaps read and copied from the article. I have not read the said article and the opinions expresssed are my own. You can agree or disagree with them. As long as we can keep it civil i will engage in a debate with you.
I apologies but the word selling have totally different implication and by chance a day before I read similar propaganda in Dawn-Herald.
BTW, Pakistan is a friendly neighbor to China and our stability and prosperity is in better interest of China but it brings benefits to us before it effect China. If you call it a mutual interest than be my guest.
