What happened to "1 Pakistani soldier = 10 Indian soldiers" ?“Indian army troops are camped on the Pakistan border. The defence increase in this year’s budget was more than Pakistan’s total budget,” Pakistani security analyst Ikram Saigol told AFP. “If India was not such a threat to Pakistan, why should it keep troops along the Pakistan border in such big number? It is a four-to-one ratio,” he said.

The prime minister has also finalised some surprising changes in the federal cabinet. He is determined to remove at least three close buddies of Zardari from some very important ministries.

The trees were planted in a swampy mangrove region
A team of volunteers in Pakistan has set a new world record by planting more than half a million trees in one day.
Guinness World Records confirmed that 541,176 trees had been planted in the southern province of Sindh on 15 July.
Some 300 volunteers, working in groups, planted mangrove saplings in the 750 acres of the Indus river delta region.
They beat the previous team record for tree planting which was set in India just last month when 447,874 saplings were planted in Assam state.
Pakistan's tree-planting marathon was witnessed by representatives of Guinness World Records and the International Union for the Conservation of Nature.
Each group was issued saplings by a panel of experts which also monitored the planting process to ensure that standards set by Guinness World Records were met.
Aadil Ahmed, the Guinness representative, told the BBC he was there to ensure that no old plants were included in the count.
Pakistan's environment minister, Hamidullah Jan Afridi, said the event was part of a series of events being held to observe the national year of the environment.
"The government has set aside one billion rupees over a three-year period to protect these plants and help them survive," Mr Afridi said.
Mangroves grow in delta regions where the fresh waters of the river mix with sea water.
Experts say the new saplings will have difficulty surviving because of diminishing river water in the region.

The presenter should be a timid person who should introduce the expert and then shut up. Our TV presenters waste tv bandwidth as they compose sentences themselves, and cut out the experts when they are speaking. This is silly and greedy behavior.

Lecture series wherever our strategic experts speak, need to be video recorded and put on you tube, and shared.
Fight against terror and India
If India relents, Pakistan will be happier changing its view of India and move forward and normalise its relations with India. It has to mix its old “realist” strategy of maintaining stability through power-balance with a new “liberal” approach of achieving stability through economic interdependence. Till that happens, however, the various state postures in the region will remain ambiguous and contradictory, with possibilities of covert wars being fought by non-state actors through infusion of funds and weapons.

On January 2004 Iranian authorities reported that their indigenous SLV will soon place a satellite in orbit. While Pakistan, on the other hand, plans to launch an SLV within the next five years. The exact nature of Pakistan’s SLV program remains unknown. However, judging from Pakistan’s ballistic missile technology, it can be said that Pakistan Government and Suparco might just be waiting for the right moment to test Pakistan’s first satellite launch vehicle[21].Pakistan’s diplomats are not just wrestling with their Indian counterparts, but also some of their own. The Foreign Service of Pakistan (FSP) — the equivalent of the Indian IFS — has written to the French envoy in Islamabad not to accept a recent controversial appointment of an officer from a different and lower service to Paris as Ambassador. This person in question, Mohammad Jehangzeb Khan, has had a chequered past, and is considered close to the infamous coterie of Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari. Livid at Khan’s appointment to Paris as Pakistan’s envoy, FSP officers have lodged a protest against his appointment. The letter to the French Ambassador in Islamabad is their latest missive to ensure that the French government does not give diplomatic recognition to Khan.

Apart from bad English, it is also bad Karma for the Believers. They do not have it in them to understand complex things. During one of the chai-biscuit meetings over the un-necessary Baglihar issue, the visiting Pakistani Indus Commissioner and his team were taken to Roorkee to explain the hydrology of the project. The team's reaction was 'the calculations are too complex to understand'. Does anyone think they will understand real rocket science ?csharma wrote:From the Wikipedia entry on Suparco;

In the Ramswami area of the city, a portion on the sixth floor of a building collapsed and the debris fell on an adjacent house, killing four members of a family and injuring 10, the Geo TV said.

There is a lot of truth in what Najam Sethi says. The world (read the US and its allies) believe that fighting the Al Qaeda and the 'bad' Taliban is the 'real fight against terrorism'. Of course, Ms. Clinton in her Gurgaon speech yesterday talks of a 'syndicate of terror outfits' in Pakistan, but I wonder how much of that 'syndicate' she will remember two years from now when the US operation would have come to an end in Afghanistan and a US/Pakistan-backed 'good' Taliban regime would have assumed power.India, on the other hand, doesn’t give Pakistan the role the world wants to give it as the fighter against terrorism. It actually thinks it is a part of the problem, but no one listens to it. America thinks Pakistan is crucial in the fight against terrorism and is reacting positively to Islamabad’s change of policy towards the Taliban. But, just when the US Congress passes laws to reward Pakistan for its new policy, India wants Pakistan punished instead. This is where New Delhi, pushed by its domestic politics, is isolating itself. Its interference inside Pakistan, so far ignored by the world, could thus become an international worry.
The killers of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto will be exposed and punished soon, said Political Secretary to the president Faisal Raza Abidi on Sunday.
“An independent inquiry into Benazir Bhutto’s assassination (by a United Nations Commission) has begun. People will know within days, not months, as to who killed her, and see them being brought to justice,” Abidi told reporters

. . . an extremely corrupt and arduous judicial system compounded by a thoroughly dishonest police has added to the plight of the hapless people, who every now and then hear of news of justice being dispensed by Mangal Bagh Afridi’s Islamic courts.
Afridi’s associates simply send for people (even living in the city) against whom affectees lodge complaints and seek justice for the simple reason that the existing system doesn’t provide justice to the majority of Pakistanis.
