Who Are Playing With Balochistan?
Posted on28. Nov, 2010 by Raja Mujtaba.
By Hamid Waheed:
What wonders me is why the army is sleeping and not projecting its sincere efforts for common Balochi. Are they too simplistic or they have no knowledge of perception management. The efforts of new political setup are all excellent measures but hopefully will take into consideration and reinforce the common Baloch agenda already in ruin for the last 60 years and will not only find solutions to support feudal culture.

Quantum Note: Bleak Pak-Afghan Realities
Posted on26. Nov, 2010 by Raja Mujtaba.
By Dr Muzaffar Iqbal:
Intellectually, Pakistan has become a wasteland. There was a lively literary tradition until the end of 1980s, there were at least second-rate scholars in humanities—historians, sociologists, literary critics, etc.—and Pakistan had a mediocre crop of scholars in religious studies.

Afghanistan was never a center of scholarship in its recent history, but at least it had a vibrant religious life and tradition of piety steeped in antiquity; now that has been destroyed.

By General Mirza Aslam Beg:
“The USA is a country in decline with a weakened political, economic and military system” and that is the challenge for Obama to demonstrate the courage to switch course and re-launch himself in pursuit of what he told his supporters: “I spent my whole life, chasing the American dream.” It is his job now to find common ground with the Republicans, “to move the country forward, and get things done for the American people.”

Sarah Palin and the missing “F” word
Posted on24. Nov, 2010 by Raja Mujtaba.
By Alan Hart:
I know and have frequently said, even on public platforms in the U.S., that Americans, generally speaking, are the most uninformed, mis-informed and gullible people on Planet Earth. But gullible enough to make Sarah Palin president? Surely not.
