In Pakistan anything is plausible. On Monday Chinese, on Tuesday Kashmirian, on Wednesday American, on Thursday al Qaeda, on Friday Taliban, on Saturday nuclear wizards and they rest on Sunday.
Seriously. Who knows what is on the border with Pakistan.
Fatal NATO raid in Pakistan likely a case of mistaken ID by US, Afghan forces (click title to entry - thank you)
By Associated Press, Updated: Tuesday, November 29, 2:21 AMWASHINGTON — NATO forces may have been lured into attacking friendly Pakistani border posts in a calculated maneuver by the Taliban, according to preliminary U.S. military reports on the deadliest friendly fire incident with Pakistan since the Afghanistan war began.
The NATO airstrike killed 24 Pakistani soldiers over the weekend in an apparent case of mistaken identity, The Associated Press has learned.
If Pakistan was serious about peace, really serious, they would not be boycotting anything, but, seeing the cross border attack a MORE of a reason to continue dialogue and settle differences. That isn't what is happening. War and militancy is a currency in Pakistan.
Pakistan to boycott Bonn conference over Nato attack (click here)
The decision was taken at a cabinet meeting in Lahore, just days after Islamabad confirmed it was mulling its attendance in the German city of Bonn, where Pakistan’s participation was considered vital.
“The cabinet has decided not to attend the Bonn meeting,” a government official told AFP on condition of anonymity.
The prime minister’s office said the cabinet agreed that “unilateral action” such as Saturday’s strike in the tribal district of Mohmand and the May 2 US killing of Osama bin Laden near the capital was “unacceptable”.
US-led investigators have been given until December 23 to probe the attacks, threatening to prolong significantly Pakistan’s blockade on Nato supplies into Afghanistan implemented in retaliation for the killings.
The US military appointed Brigadier General Stephen Clark, a one-star air force general based in Florida, to lead the investigation into the attack....
Paksitan gets lots and lots of money from many sources for its instability. Divided loyalists abound. China pays well for covert information, they sell munnitions to Pakistan to continue the conflict with India and the Taliban are more than helpful to maintain the USA presence in Afghanistan so there is more covert information all time. Life could not be better for Pakistan.
UNITED NATIONS, Nov 29 (APP): Pakistan accords (click here) a high importance to the role of the youth in democratic and decision-making process and is also taking a series of steps to enable them to contribute more vitally to socio-economic progress of the country, Chairman Senate Farooq H Naek said. He was addressng a Parliamentary Hearing at UN Headquarters on the theme of “Youth Participation in the Democratic Process.” Naek said efforts are underway to increase and diversify avenues for youth to discuss national issues, engage with national leaders, and participate in discussion on what is important for Pakistan…
And then there is the 'pitiful' reality of the people and the monies received for charitable works. Not that the Pakistani government has to dedicate any funds of its own to the plight of its people so much as the nuclear capacity of its military. Amazing.
I want to boycott Pakistan's aid of ANY KIND. When the Pakistani government actually has to spend its treasury on its people, it will required to disarm from nuclear weapons it could not afford IN THE FIRST PLACE !
The Human Rights record Pakistan is amoung the worst on the planet. It enslaves its people in debt and allows international criminals a haven because its definition of sovereignty doesn't exist. Pakistan is not a sovereign nation. The nuclear capacity of a country melted down to multiple factions of extremists should NEVER be allowed to exist!
