When the Americans invaded Afghanistan they did not cultivate a new class of libertarians and then out of them establish the new government in Kabul. What they did was allied with those groups fighting the Taliban. This included primarily the Northern Alliance. But although NA provided them with...
For 20 years the global media has ben screaming, screaming and dumping Pakistan as the evil monster. You probably could hear the screams on Mars. We were vilified. Our neighbour climaxed and indulged in this hate fest. Finally the table is turning. I don't hear USA say to Pakistan 'do more'.
The fact is large swathes of Afghanistan actually are open to Taliban. If this outfit is a Pakistani proxy then somebody tell me what magic spell ISI has that has overcome 150,000 US soldiers, NATO, 20 years, 2 trillion dollars?
If one looks at the map districts adjacent to Turkemenistan...
Talking of crimes perpetrated by foreign armies let me give you personal anecdote. Last yeat in my village in Pakistan I met a relative on my mum's side who had worked as a logistics contractor for US forces in Iraq for over 5 years and had made good money. First driving trucks carrying fuel etc...
Ehh is this not what I have said on this thread multitude of times. Which side you choose is entirely consequence of your national or individual POV. From my POV both are bas*ards but after having seen 'their' bas*ards rule the roost since 2001- it's a source of satisfaction to see 'our'...
I don't think most people quite understand India including Chinese. What has happened is a cherrypicked or sliver of the cream has ended up in USA etc and people then draw conclusions about nature of India. I mean we all know about the much touted Indian Americans and their earnings and...

On a more relevant note congratulations to China for being numero uno on the Olympic Medal list in Tokyo. Although I did feel untterly humiliated when I found Pakistan is not even on the list. Even Hong Kong score more. But then my humiliation was salved when I saw that the only other 1.4...
Great news. The northern portion of the Western Corridor composed of the M-14 motorway is almost complete. It should open by November this year if not later. Just some final works are needed and traffic has began to flow along one side already although there small bits missing. The Indus River...
The real truth is if demoracy is the will of the people, India nor Pakistan are democracies. They have trappings of demoracy. Both have vast population crushed under social or economic inequities. These make their 'will' erased. I would include females, the poor in Pakistan. In India the...

Well if your going to be the judge on rendering what the referance field is I might as well not discuss anything with you. Because you can carve the discussion in exactly the way you want to. Here have my brush and paint what you want. I will just quitely look on. Happy?
This cheap whataboutism...
The west never had a issue with Taliban's primitive outlook on such matters as female rights, liberty, freedom of speech or love of heritage and diversity. If that ever figured on their scope the first target would be the mother of all backwardness or Kingdom of Saudia Arabia and it royal family...
A charge employed by people who want to prune and cut the terms of referance so that the argumant they are peddling is made conspicious. Or a way of trimming a image to suit their agenda and crippling what the othe side has to say.
