Gore Vidal, 83, described as America’s greatest essayist and one of its best-selling novelists, says he has in his life “crashed many barriers.” Vidal’s brutal manner of criticism hasn’t waned. The United States of America, he says, is a “madhouse” and its President is “overwhelmed” and “incompetent”.
Last year he famously switched allegiance from Hillary Clinton [...]
I was shocked and baffled as I read along the latest article of leading columnist Dr. Shahid Masood in the Daily News. I will quote the man verbatim here:
A Pakistani, who knows a lot about developments in Pakistan and the US scene, said that apart from this purely legal and domestic scene, there were four [...]
Joe Biden, America’s vice president has seemingly prevailed over President Obama and now we are certainly going to witness a major overhaul and shift in America’s war against terror. The whole focus is going to shift towards Pakistan from Afghanistan and the hotspot of the war will be FATA area and it’s adjoining areas.

We envy Americans. We [...]

Already people are questioning the rationale behind the closing down of Gitmo bay and barring CIA from having interrogation cells abroad.
Though these measures are [...]
A few weeks before the US elections, I was pessimist and skeptical of an Obama victory. Yesterday as he took his oath, all I could say was that this could only happen in the USA. Obama’s victory is a testimony to the American dream. Just fifty years ago, blacks were persecuted, murdered and faced intense [...]
As Inauguration Day approaches, the citizens of United States seems to be catching the edge of their collective seats waiting to see who the real Barack Obama is, and how he will step up to address the worst economic crisis since the Depression. Adding to his burden, Obama is following George W. Bush, who may [...]
Why should British Foreign Secretary David Miliband remain left behind when every joe and boucher are getting medals?
