We all have been converted at some point in time. Non of us were dropped to earth in the form we exist today. We all have evolved over the millenia. With regards to rest of your rant I don't have time now but I will tell you history is my hobby and I am well aware of the events you refer to. But...

Afghans are intelligent, tough and smart people. Let there be no doubt about that. Living in harsh, mountains and subjected to all sort of invaders has bred a tough race. So never dismiss them please. You can see how they have run to the ground Soviet Red Army and now USA. Back during the...

There is a famous market called Kissa Kwani Bazaar in Peshawar. It goes back to middle ages before Russia and Britain carved this region into their own spheres leaving Tashkent, Bukhara, Khuva, Samarkand in Russian zone, Peshawar, Quetta in British zone with Kabul as neutral zone. This divided...

Let me give you guys example of Taliban stubborness. Back in late 1990s Pakistan was one of the few countries that recognized their emirate. All their needs came from Pakistan. I think it was 1999 or so when a soccer match was held in Kabul between Pakistan and Afghanistan. Funny enough the...

What did I say? I understand Taliban pysche. It is traditional Pashtun nationalism wrapped up in Islamic dress. There is a reason they fight to death against any outside power even with empty stomachs, wearing chappels and holding AK-47s when they face F-22 Raptors, Apache gunships etc. Come as...

This is just playing to the gallery. The only good thing that Jinnah did was he gave us the Radcliffe Line thus undoing the artificial unity of the Indus Basin with the Ganga Basin under the British Raj. Personally I am grateful to Jinnah for insulating us from the teeming billions.

Pakistan is even more dry and with less green cover. But a huge 10 billion Tree Tsunami project is out to plant that many trees across the country. The figure has already hit 1 billion.

What the hell? So my plastic waste ends up in Turkey. Shockng!

Opium production fell under Taliban rule and then went up when they were toppled. At a personal level In don't agree with Taliban's very orthodox interpretation of Islam mixed in with traditional codes. However I know they have large scale traction and are a reality. I agree with you they have...

In my opinion it would be better if Turkey pulls out. Taliban are very sensitive about any foreign soldiers. After having fought two superpowers to the ground for them sovereignty and respect is above all other consideration. I think Turkey has a vital role but as a facilitator and medium rather...

Security failure big time. What if the guy had a knife etc @Vergennes

The Pakistani demand officially is that such a request can only work if USA agrees to giving Pakistan equal operational influence on the activities of such a base. That is for many mission to be effected would require a nod from a Pakistani official. Thus all actions will be signed by both...

WASHINGTON: The United States continues to focus on Pakistan for a military base in the region, although some American officials believe the negotiations have reached an impasse for now, The New York Times reported on Monday. The US intelligence agency CIA did use a base in Pakistan to launch...

The second bridge over the mighty Indus River as part of CPEC and western corridor connecting Khyber Pakhtunkwa province with Punjab province is nearing completion at nearly 1.6 miles length which will carry the M-14 motorway south toward Gwadar on the Arabian Sea.

In conjunction with UNEP with 124 countries Pakistan is hosting the 2021 WED. This celebrates the 10 billion Tree planting programme launched by PM Imran Khan's Green Pakistan initiative.

Your entire premise overlooks some facts even if Turkey were to go down this very bold but risky move. Central Asia is way too tilted toward Russia. Moscow remains the dominant influence on Central Asia countries...

F One thing never forget. Afghans and Pakistani's are brothers and often the children of the same parents. Our geography and history is intertwined. Just like sibling rivalry can be harsh and so has our relationship but these facts won't change. I like to think of Af-Paks as Irish and English...

Whatever happens I can tell you one thing with 100% certitude. India's position in Afghanistan which was established on the back of US invasion of Afghanistan is about to degrade. The only question is to what degree. But degrade it will. Things regionally from POV of Pakistan are very differant...
