Post Lal-Masjid and other Rambling Thoughts

, , , ...

The consequences are brutal (to be continued)

6th August:
Ok, left tht hanging there for a long time. If u follow the news, u've probably seen the increased terrorist attacks happening all over Pakistan. When I first wrote the above comment, it was nothing more than the beginning...

Wht's sad is the increasing militant polarization of disaffected Pakistanis who support this more than ever. It's a reminder of a stupid reply a friend,who retardly luved OBL yet sought to seek education and work in the US, made after I asked him whether he'd be kool whether he'd be blown up standing in line for a visa at an US embassy. He said 'Yes'.

Don't be too shocked though. Not all my friends were crackpots! But there were definitely alot of ppl who thought like him and alot of ppl who thought like me. The scary part is we're hearing more and more ppl who thinks like him...and actually do...he was too much of a whimp,really.

I've got no answers for this. Just tht Lal Masjid should hv been crushed as quickly as possible. Now Nutcases around the country who hate the government and the US (nothing new there) r rallying around this, fully knowing how criminal these so called 'Mullanahs' were in the Masjid where one of them actually tried to escape in women's clothing. Sad.

I'm rambling on here, no planned structure for this blog, and I don't really hv a conclusion. I'm just sick and tired of seeing stuff like this. Doctors in the UK joining this crap. Wht the hell?! Maybe I should be glad I'm Shia...I don't know of any suicide bombings by them on civilian populations. Not like as if their saints too...at least in Iraq. And perhaps our somewhat priesthood type system helps us unite under one guy (an Ayatoullah) and don't make up splinter groups or different idealogies from wht we hv.

AHHHHH! Karzai and Bush met yesterday and today. Karzai mentions Iran helping out. Bush sidesteps it saying they're making it worse. Wht a bastard. The Washington Post had an article yesterday stating tht the US made up the intelligence report saying tht Taleban were regrouping in Pakistan. They could hv. But there wasn't any real proof. They got the desired results though. The Peace broker deal fell apart. I'll find the link in a while. Also wanna post the BBC article of the Abu Gharib whistle blower who got outted by Donald Rumsfeld. Will add to this l8r. (to be continued)

Revival of My HYS(Have Your Say) BBC Posts

, , , ...

Here's my BBC activity on the Have Your Say(HYS) Debates from 28th May to today's...Enjoy!

DEBATE: The wonders of the world: Your reaction SENT: 09-Jul-2007 01:19 COMMENT: The number 7 is too small to cover all the Wonders of today's World. The original 7 covered The Mediterranean and Middle-East only. 1000's of years has collapsed since then. Today's current Wonders are so many that entries should be extended to at least 10 to 15 to accomodate the rest of the world, despite 6 of the original wonders being non-existent. Time to detach from the sentimental value #7.

DEBATE: How safe do you feel in the UK?(To Continue,Click 'Read More'---->)

JumpStarting with more BBC EGO posts

, , , ...

So to add and waste more space on MY BLOG, here's to the BBC to stroke my Ego. Some won't get the cultural references to these posts, so I'll try to add some quick side Notes. There's at least 12 Posts here.

DEBATE: Would you take an HIV test in casualty? SENT: 28-May-2007 12:31
COMMENT: I think it's a very smart recommendation.Of course,I think people will need to opt-in or out beforehand on their medical preferences.It is very possible a person beforehand maybe carrying the disease or may have contracted it in the accident itself if by chance the blood mixes with someone else in the casualty who also had the disease,it's rare but possible.More tests must be considered at casualty.It won't catch everyone with diseases,but if it catches 1 or 2 ppl early,costs will be worth it COMMENT STATUS: Awaiting moderation

DEBATE: Do you trust UN peacekeepers?
SENT: 26-May-2007 14:18 COMMENT: With all troubles in the world,the UN didn't need this.With all the problems in Pakistan,Pakistan didn't need this.Isn't there at least ONE operation the UN's been successful in?I know of the UN Pakistani peacekeepers in Haiti,anything fishy there?Canadians in Haiti?Timor?Despite Pakistan being the biggest contributers,the UN should have finished their inquiry and passed some judgement.Even if the govt rejected it,still do ur damn job out of principle.Many posters here are right.Corruption is strife in UN.Undemocratic Security council,Kofi's son, Healthc workers,troops.They should hold themselves accountable,and this was such a chance.But they didn't.How do u fix broken states by broken UN? RECOMMENDED BY: 3 people COMMENT STATUS: Published (This is about UN Troops in the Congo smuggling guns for gold with militia and the UN dropping their inquiry and turning a blind eye)

DEBATE: Is Lebanon returning to civil war? SENT: 24-May-2007 12:58 COMMENT: When a generation inherits problems of previous generations,they won't improve.Should Palestinians fight for a home they've lost and pass to the nxt generation?Should they move on?Do other Arabs want Palestinians to give up,hence give up Jerusalem to Zionists?Should govts allow them to integrate?Some of them hv moved to other ME parts and the West,but still look home.Perhaps Arabs,Palestinians should shut these camps?Slowly get visit rights.When there's less restrictions then let them return. RECOMMENDED BY: 0 people COMMENT STATUS: Published

Britions of Pakistani Origin being restricted

, , , ...

The American embassy in Britain has denied any imposition of a restriction on UK citizens of Pakistani Origins. If the report was true, most would have seen it as racist, but others would point it out to be necessary. Though I'm Pakistani, I agree with the latter. (Warning LOOONG rambling uncoherrent Post).
