Thanks for visiting! ”India simply must, as a long term consideration, matter more for us than Pakistan,” James Clad, the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for South and Southeast Asia, told a group of online journalists in a conference call from Pentagon. This is true even though Pakistan is leading from the front in the US-led global war against terrorism, he said. Referring to the growth of the Indian economy in the past one decade and in other fields too, Clad said India is seen by the US as a potentially a power with global reach. Responding to questions, Clad gave details of the growing defense relationship between the two countries - be it the joint Indo-US military exercise, visit of the USS Nimitz to Chennai, giving refurbished USS Trenton to India or increasing economic relationship. With the prospects of the opening of India’s defense sector, as many as 52 American defense corporations have opened their offices in India including the top names like Boeing, Lockheed Martin and General Electrical.

Its true since the partition of sub-continent, India is always lovely to these big nations because of her size and as a good partner to control China, which actually not possible. So our lovely politician/military tycoons should re-think and must no blindfoldly kill their own people just to make U.S happy.

No matter how many Pakistanis Musharraf kills or how many laws he breaks to make United States happy, they will never be happy becasue Pakistan is just Banana Republic for US lead my military and so needs to be handled with a stick like the way the Musharraf treats his own people. We deserve everything we get because we are too coward to through out dictator- even Burmese have more guts than us.

Our foreign polices always been consist of excuses & apppologises.We always show guilty and feeling full of shame to be survived in the world.
If our leaders show all of this what would be about the common people confidence as a nation. Whole world is observing & worried about the Pakistani behaviour on the situation. Where is our National interests & soverienity? Iran should be an example for us. Its an alarming scene. looking forward for leaders who do care for national interests rather than their own interests..! If we take care our country; the world will also be and
vice versa…

Our current military leadership is incompetent and lead by an illiterate who struts about in a suit abroad and wears a uniform at home. He makes our nation look like a laughing stock around the world and you folks wonder why the world thinks more of the little Indians next door than the martial Pakistani races. Shame on all of us Pakistanis. We have let the world make a fool of us by not standing up for our consitution and for rule of law. We allow an illiterate military man (Musharraf) to go to New York on state funds to sell his autbiography (written of course by a ghost writer) while he is still in power. In any civilised society a leader waits until he retires or is out of the public eye before he writes his memoirs and the book tour is dome at the writer’s or publisher’s own expense. The clown of a dictator ruling our country likes to go abroad and tell the world that our women want to be raped to get visas to go abroad. It’s high time we all kick out this illiterate embarrassment of a General who isn’t worthy of selling Paan on the streets of Karachi. PAKISTAN ZINDABAD!
