''When you ask two Pakistanis about a certain issue, you get three conflicting opinions. But on some subjects there is total unanimity of opinion. The people do not like the war in Afghanistan and believe America is destroying their country by waging a futile and unwinnable war there.

There is not much love lost between the ultraorthodox militants and middle-of-the-road majority, but on the question of attacks by American drones on Pakistani territory they have similar views.

They complain about the enormous civilian toll these attacks extract. There were 124 attacks by pilotless American plans controlled by the CIA in 2010 on Pakistani soil. Of the 1,200 people killed, there were 481 suspected militants, and of those only 20 were considered high-value targets.

In December 2009, the New York Times wrote poignantly about those drone attacks. “For the first time in history,” the Times wrote, “a civilian intelligence agency is using robots to carry out a military mission, selecting people for killing in a country where the United States is not officially at war.”

A disturbing look at the treatment of women in Islamic/Muslim countries. It's an incredibly powerful video to be honest, though you definitely wouldn't want to watch it with children around or anything. A friend of mine sent this video to me yesterday and I just got around to watching it this morning.

Do you think that they are waiting for freedom like that they got in Iraq and Afghanistan ?!!

Read my post carefully and tell me where did I mention ''country''?? I was referring to regions around Pakistan which are mostly Muslim.
I got it :)

You are welcome and thanks for asking..:)

I think the best solution to end the problems is for the super powers to join heads together and decide about something else than fixing things through war. War, in the short run, may be beneficial to the great powers in that it opens up a good market for the sale of their arms and ammunition but in the long run it would be disastrous for all.

Since we have a UNO we must think about resolving international disputes through it rather than crushing people to fear and death through force. Taliban is an ideology and no one can wipe it out by force...

Also, the US should not dole out huge monies to the military or the leaders of 3rd world countries as most of it never goes down to the common man.

There is growing resentment against the Americans in particular due to war....and I think this anger will keep growing unless the US adopts some peaceful solution to the problems. America and coalition cannot stay in Afghanistan for ever but Pakistan, Iran and some Central Asian countries being neighboring countries have to stay there forever...consequently even if they supported the US it may not be possible with them to seek eternal enmity with each other in the hope of a better future.


Pakistan, as you know, is already an economically bankrupt country with the most corrupt leadership of all time, it would be unwise for the US not to take steps to win the public sentiment in its favor by attending to their misery directly and not turning those who are loyal to the US against them by also making them a victim of their warring counter-effects. On the whole, fundamentalist groups in Pakistan are very powerful and I think it may not be possible to secularize them atleast during our life times!

I live in Karachi which is the biggest maritime city of Pakistan with about 20M but frankly cannot move around freely in certain areas which are under ethnic violence. On the whole life is normal, street crime dangerously on the rise but you don't need any protection to walk in streets. Unlike the past, I can hardly find any foreigner on the streets...all 5 star hotels and ''sensitive' buildings and streets are barricated ( looks like a war scene!!)
there is too much Inflation, extreme richness and extreme poverty, no jobs, no gas, no water, no electricity.in some cities for days along. industry gone almost dead, black economy is 10 times more stronger than the white economy!! Corruption is rampant at all levels,,,more at top level!!

Upnorth hardly a day goes by when there is no suicide bombing and dozens killed ....
there is acute lack of law and justice....expensive education contributing to illiterate millions who live below the poverty line!!

what your not getting mazhur is that the common american is like any other world wide,they strive to survive,struggle to hold down jobs,have kids to feed and really have little or no say in government decisions,they're no different to a russian,pakistani or kenyan in that respect......yet whole countries hate all americans because of a few that are in government

I know the mods were told to take it easy for a while but calling somebody a "clit brain" is clearly name calling. In my mind about as insulting as one can get. I don't use the report button but rarely but just stating the obvious.

Given the source I would think there should be some discussion amongst the mods about how to deal with that.

Maz is clearly trolling.

He called me a KKK member and nothing happened. So I don't think a "clit brain" will bring about anything.

Thanks for you testicular wishing, Dick has just risen and enjoying the sun!

Female genital mutilation is unheard of in Pakistan...if some people do it must be their custom only, having nothing to do with Islam.

A living person relying on the book of dead for learning to breathe freely is surprising in itself!! Buddha was born in my country and you are looking for him in some pussy-land???Amazing!!:24:

I'm going to ignore the rest to focus on this:

Now.. I don't claim to be an outright Buddhist. A few concepts in it are a little too much for my Western mind. However, if I was- where do you get the right to mock MY religious beliefs? Anytime anybody comes near degrading Islam in any way, shape or form you get a burr up your ass the size of Colorado. Yet it is acceptable that you mock me for mine?

Care to elaborate how this is acceptable behavior, sir?

By the way... Siddhartha Gautama was born in modern-day Tibet. Just saying...
