Regional Isolation for Pakistan?

We have a declared enemy in India on one side of the border – a notorious Afghanistan on the other. We have a friends to our North in China and Iran to our South-West. I have failed to understand why, ever since the present government has assumed control, the government has literally snubbed the Chinese a few times and irritated Iran on multiple counts while trying its best to butter-up Afghanistan and India to become ‘friends’ of Pakistan!

I could not find time to write on several issues that have bothered me – transit trade via Pakistan to Afghanistan being one of them. I could not find time to write how bad I felt when our leaders spent thousands of dollars in an Indian night club in the United States when millions sit homeless in the land of the pure!

This is an issue I want to write about. This is a question my mind is putting up again and again. Are we now headed into complete regional isolation amidst talk of Iran closing the Pak-Iran border? (more…)

Obama’s Litmus Test?

It is too early to say whether or not Barrack Hussain Obama’s approach to the Muslim world would be any different to that of the Bush administration. He has made big promises and committed himself to ‘change’, however there isn’t much time left before he actually steps into the White house as President of the United States of America.

The past two months have been difficult for the world. First, it was Mumbai and then barbaric Israeli terrorism in Gaza. Both India and Israel enjoyed full support of the White house and George W. Bush.

It seems as if the Mumbai drama, staged by the Indians and the Israeli’s together, has failed to achieve its objective and Pakistan has come out of it clean. It is interesting to note, however, that once we noticed the dust settling here in South Asia – the Israeli’s launched a full scale war on the Gaza strip. The Indian-Israeli nexus of terror is strong and requires a dedicated column to explain.

The last men standing: Iran & Pakistan

Nuclear Pakistan and nuclear Iran; interesting neighbors these. Both countries are in the spotlight. One is in possession of a nuclear arsenal and the other is being accused of having the ‘desire’ to develop them. Although both follow an entirely opposite approach as of now, Iran and Pakistan remain the only two genuine, strong threats to American or Zionist hegemony over the world.

While Iran has been facing international condemnation against its peaceful nuclear programme, Pakistan is quickly gaining international attention too. This obviously could not have happened all of a sudden. A plot was laid, the cast set and the show has now begun. The story is now rapidly unfolding. (more…)
