Nuclear Scare In India

This is a threat that the Nuclear Security Summit 2010 in Washington ignored. Pakistan's nuclear installations are close to troubled spots. But India's nuclear and strategic assets are right in the middle of a robust Naxalite separatist insurgency. A nuclear device can be detonated any day in any Indian city by Naxalite rebels who have the will to cause mass casualties in India.

A stunning report that records recent incidents when Indian nuclear security was compromised. Click here to read the full report.

Obama, Brown, Taliban

Obama:

To the warning of the world, Bush paid no heed,
The pangs of his venture, now I am unable to bear.

Brown:

You echo the voice of my heart, my dear friend,
This Blair legacy has brought laughter and jeer.

Obama:

But as mighty nations, we are to save our grace,
Coming empty, we will lose all our awe and fear.

Brown:

Our army says, they are giants in human shape,
For them, mountains and rivers are no barrier.
Our commanders tremble while narrating the tale,
'These Talibans fight with smile and die with cheer.’

Obama:

I have used all the wiles, my mind could conceive,
I deployed Pak-Afghan stooges from front and rear.
Our media gave their profile as most demonic race,
To our misfortune, all this made their tide stronger.

Brown:

History traces millions of our graves in that land ,
Russians have the memory even darker and bleaker.
This time we believed in NATO and your drones,
To erase the past stigma, and open a new chapter.

Obama:

Our weapons and drones have yielded no result,
The death of innocents has exposed us to sneer.
When we think, our bombs finished their creed,
They emerge again with a spirit, bolder and purer.

Brown:

I confide in you brother, my generals have told,
‘They bury their dead with eyes having no tear.’
I am convinced from what I have heard and seen,
Each drop of their blood produces a new warrior.

Obama:

I think it sagacious to discard these brutish folk,
And declare our move as a humanitarian gesture.
We both must call it the follies of Bush and Blair,
And pretend we are peaceful and morally superior.

Brown:

I admire your genius and endorse your views,
If we fail to withdraw, our future is drearier.

Our Intellectuals Sicken Me

More Pakistani ‘intellectuals’ came out to cheerlead President Obama’s new speech than any American, British or Afghan commentators. In fact, there were more American, British and Afghan critics of some aspects of the new policy than there were Pakistani critics.

I love this subject because it proves one of my oldest ideas that I developed some ten years ago or so: That Pakistani intellectuals, generally, have a slavish mindset and are a prime reason why we Pakistanis never developed pride and a sense of identity and being. How can you when your intellectuals, the people who shape the faith of nations, don’t have any faith?

Immediately after Obama’s speech, I was stunned to see respectable names such as Dr. Riffat Hussain, former ambassador Tariq Fatimi and retired Gen. Talat Masood and others come out on different news channels and act as America’s apologists. I mean how dumb can you be to start blowing the horns of victory just because Obama decided to give you some more money in exchange for bringing the war to your country?

Let me tell you what the real deal is: It’s a mixture of ignorance and greed. Ignorance because our State and Government are so weak they don’t have mechanisms where they can convey Pakistan’s viewpoint to these analysts so that they don’t shoot from the hip when they write for newspapers or appear on TV. And greed because many of our ‘analysts’ have no hope in a weak State and Government and dream about receiving a call from the American or the British ambassadors promising them some job or scholarship abroad for the next five years. Trust me, it’s more pathetic than most of you think.
