    There is a global awareness now on the need to fix the world & how to fix Islam - but darkness prevails on the best method - a solution that is simple and sure will evolve from here. Sounds far fetched & too optimistic ? Consider the peculiar case of 1 million deaths in the Iran Iraq war- this was technically not a Jihad with Kafir and hence all those dead went to HELL for no fault of theirs except that they had Saddam as "boss" - bad leadership brought ruin to followers!

    Every one agrees that nuclear attack on entire middle east from either US or Israel canoot be ruled out at all - but not many know that it appears to be very central to planners of Islamic life. As all muslims prey 5 times a day for death in jihad and seat in heaven to bump 72 goats - this is the most practical way for a benevoilent & merciful kafir like our Mr Bush to deliver a heavenly martyrdom in jihad to all muslims on equal footing.... so that at the Allah's brothel - stock of 72 goats/ martyr can be enjoyed equally by each muslim not just a few selected Talibans & Wahabbis..a case of good leadership solving every problem on earth and in heaven!!

    pakistan is a complete and independent state. by writing such articles, the writer not only shows his non professional attitude but also threatens the sovereignity of pakistan. i wud like to enlighten the writer that pakistan is a complete and secure country who needs no one helps not america not india. we are totally capable of protecting our boundries. if by such small events you are trying to remark pakistan as a failed state, then lets not ignore the civil war in america, lets not ignore the revolutions in europe and above all lets not ignore the insurgent movements in india.

    Please stop. Just stop shooting off your ignorant mouths for the sake of shooting off your ignorant mouths and pretend knowledge of very complex issues. There is real human suffering going on right now in Pakistan, just as there are people here in the USA who are losing their homes, but not because a guy with a rocket propelled grenade is going up and down their blocks shooting whoever they feel like. I've read all you comments and what I read is teeny tiny egos yearning to be heard by being less human than you are, more callous than you are, and more scared by governments around the world than you care to admit. But wait, it's time for a commercial. Sometimes Americans, at least on the internet, remind me of a pack of jackals instead of the caring human beings I know them to be. Get a grip on your humanity, America, you need it more than ever now.

    Its so sad to see that Pakistan Govt. is proving itself to be the biggest traitor, having "yes boss" policy with US. The killing of hunders of Muslims by the own hands of Pakistan Army will prove its cost later on. All these efforts are focused on a single point; to stop the call of islam but its guaranteed that the Pak Army or the whole Army of the world can not stop it. Its the promise of Almighty to give success the believers, the verdict that can not be changed under any reality or circumstances.

    The revival of Muslims is near, and there will be state which will strench from Spain to Indonesia, From North pole to South pole, there will be Islam. Capitalism will cease to exist and the Humanity will be taken out from the sufferings. Sooner than many can even think!

    The creation of Pakistan was a mistake because religion makes for a very weak foundation for a nation. Having said that, Pakistan will only win against its home-grown militants when the vast majority of secular-minded Pakistanis as well as their military establishment finally realize that their real enemy is not outside their border-ie: India-but rather the within their border! The military's single-minded fixation on looking at India as their only enemy is a mistake that may end up costing the Pakistanis their nation!

    Pakistan is supported by Saudi Arabia ( Nawaz Sharief got asylum there) . Pakistan is liked by China . Pakistan is an all weather friend of U.S.A. ( since Cold war times) . Pakistan has Solidarity with SriLanka ( In spite of the Lahore attack on its cricketers , Lanka has invited the Pakistan cricket team to SriLanka in June 2009).

    The massive military action by the Pakistan armed forces is shameful and could have been avoided if Asif Ali Zardari had enough wisdom to avoid it but he wanted American dollars in aid so that he could hide away his government's abject failure in handling Pakistan's crippling economy as well as financial, internal security and political problems.

    Now that Asif Ali Zardari has made Americans happy with this military action resulting in hundreds of thousands poor Swatis leaving their homes, farms and land and God knows when they would be able to return ever again; the rich, wealthy, waderas, zamidars and corrupt politicians with billions of dollars tucked away in foreign banks would be able to grab this most beautiful part of the world for cheap cents and pence.

    And, how many Taliban will Pakistanis army would able to kill? I should imagine not many because a lot of them would have already fled the area and spread across the country to create more trouble, violence and terror in Pakistan. This military action was taken to please and oblige the Americans in return for the dollars in aid that President Zardari begged to be given but the American dollars and cents will not end this crisis. The American knew it very well that the military action will further destabilize Pakistan and that has been the long planning of USA, Israel and India: break up Pakistan into section so it would be easier for them to control and manipulate the region. The Americans want to control Baluchistan region for its strategic importance and also, the whole region is rich in natural resources. USA and Indians stand to gain from fragmentized Pakistan and President Zardari and PPP are making it easier for them to achieve this long term objective.

    THREE STOOGES IN STALEMATE -iIN DC

    a total waste of public resources in recession and our time in watching these stooges on the screens of our electrical appliances -

    ZARDARI -KARZAI AND ?-
    this whole PAK administration is a school of incompetent corrupt nincompoops and total american SHOESTRING puppets and disgust me as i am proud to be a pakistani but detest the people who are in the admin body -they all need to be condemned -or mete the fate meted to french aristocracy in a certain revolution .
    no one amongst them gives a damn about common people or pakistan -
    WATER -SHORT AND WE FIGHT THE TERROR NOT THE WATER EMBARGO by a country which has denied our existence since 60 years and predicted we will last 6 weeks -
    10 MILLION KASHMIRIS UNDER 1 MILLION INDIAN ARMY AND WE ARE FIGHTING 10000 TALIBAN IN FATA -
    afghan indian and americans ARE INFILTRATING our borders AND KILLING OUR CITIZENS AND WE CLAIM THEY ARE OUR FRIENDS -
    the taliban terrorists in pakistan have american training and arms and this is a war on terror -lolz

    BARRY -he forgot that without KASHMIR SOLUTION YOU ARE INCREASING TERROR BECAUSE YOU ARE SELLING 10 MILLION PEOPLE TO indian TERRORISTS -
    he also thinks killing innocent civilians is not terror -and he has refuted every moral statement he made while being elected about war and morality in his erstwhile sermons which are now victim of a convenient amnesia and that seems to be affecting him long term too-
    he also has not been informed by the compromised and pressurised mrs clinton who should be giving more time to mexican cartels and columbian cocaine and tamil tigers that pakistani taliban are being armed by CIA TO FIGHT AN AMERICAN WAR IN PAKISTAN -LOLZ

    karzai is a stooge who even looks like a staged muppet on a shoestring -he deserves no serious consideration -

    It`s been known for years that the Taliban`s goal is the nuclear weapons just outside of Islamabad. Prepare for a nuclear winter before 2013. Hussein bin-Obama WILL allow this to happen. All you bin-Obama supporters have sold-out the United States of America. Maybe France will save your butts again, lol. Yes, again! Study American history morons!! Traitors!!!

    China is supporting Pakistan to crush India.
    China is supporting the military jauta in Myanmar which has kept Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi under house arrest.
    China is supporting the Sudanese government and War criminal Bashir in genocidal war in Darfur.
    China is supporting North Korea and its nuclear ambitions.
    China is supplying arms to Dictator Mugabe in Zimbabwe.
    China is stoking fire in peaceful Nepal.
    China has supplied Heavy weapons , satellite/ other data and money to Lanka Army and Government.
    Who will slay the Chinese Dragon ? St.George the patron saint of England ? Or George ( Bush ) of USA ?
