By Ali Yar Khan • Dec 5th, 2009 • Category: Politics, Worth A Second Look

It doesn’t need much research or historical analysis and super intelligence to figure out that the prime and constant target of the terrorists is the General Head Quarters of armed forces in Rawalpindi and it’s sorrounding buildings.
It’s far much easier for the terrorists to attack the mosques, banks, markets and educational institutes around the GHQ [...]

By Sher Ali • Oct 20th, 2009 • Category: Politics

Though there are very little chances that the superpower would commit such a folly, but one has to be prepared for such adventure. Majority of the Pakistanis want friendship with the US on common grounds and equal footings, but our rulers have sold us cheap and with degradation.
As soon as the attack would come from [...]



Distance Between Zardari and Kayani

By Ali Yar Khan • Oct 19th, 2009 • Category: Politics

On 16th March, Zardari forcibly bowed in front of Kayani’s assertion that the chief justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry should be restored along with other judges, and then on 10th October of the same year, Zardari backed off from his blind support of Kerry Lugar bill.

Kerry Lugar Got Carried away

By amicus • Oct 10th, 2009 • Category: Politics, Worth A Second Look

After President Obama made his policy statement on Afghanistan and Pakistan in March 2009 it was expected that in future the United States would focus more on the need of the people rather than the governments in pursuing US interests in the region and would come up with sustained strategic commitment with Pakistan.
However, no one [...]



Does Reason Rule the Mind?

By Prof. Dr. Mansoor Akbar Kundi • Apr 13th, 2009 • Category: Politics, Worth A Second Look

I recall it from one of the lectures  of my professors during my Master’s days in Political Science at the University of Peshawar in 1976  with its importance for the decision makers that  “peace rules the day where reason rules the mind”..   He familiarized  the term  about a topic of good governance in  Western political [...]

Fears of Martial… How much real??

By Ch. Naeem Sidhu • May 31st, 2008 • Category: Politics, Worth A Second Look

Albeit the ground realities do not corroborate the apprehension expressed by Asif Ali Zardari that some unseen forces are making attempts to destabilize the PPP Government and are intending to impose Martial Law yet the international scenario is not favourable for a smooth allowance to a democratic Government in Pakistan. Like the past, Afghanistan [...]



Did ISI ask them to boycott election?

By Dawar Naqvi • May 10th, 2008 • Category: Politics

“Voting is one of the few things where boycotting in protest clearly makes the problem worse rather than better”.
Election has finished and once again, some of us forgot all slogans of our leaders before and at the time of election.
This is the reason house arrest of Doctor Abdul Qadeer Khan is completely ignored by PML [...]
