The Non-Existent Tourist’s Guide To Pakistan

This is to announce with much regret that Masadi sahib has again been banned by chowkstaff.

Posting on his behalf:

HP writes "The story of Afghanistan is not just all about the Pak army, the ISI, Zia, or the US. The left and the Soviet Union made many mistakes there too."

While "mistakes" might have been made, the major players were not the "left" in Afghanistan that brought it to the condition we see today, the major cause of its condition today is the US using the Pak Army and the ISI and the mullahs. The left and the mullahs don't see eye to eye, and regardless of the concessions made by the left those with ulterior motives i.e. the US (whose backyard Afghansitan was not unlike the SU, who wanted moreso to keep the US (using the mullah cover of the countryside)out of the area rather than dominate it for the sake of reaching a warm water port (as was speculated), would have acted. We saw what happened to ZAB and how after every concession to the Mullah they wanted more and more, this is not how a country is salvaged or the left mainstreamed, it is how they are either coopted or butchered by the powerful interests, and do not forget that the left tries to incorporate the people into the power equation unlike the powerful interests that use them to maintain the current structure.


The fault was not with the left, and the lefts policies didn't fail in Pakistan or any other place, the fault was with a much better organized and powerful opponent who using the local thugs could get what he desired, the left was made to fail and regardless of the "lack of mistakes" or compromise would have been made to fail. Now, when the US seeks escalation into Pakistan of its farcial WOT, look how it reacts to any attempts to "consider the countryside"- suggesting that it all be ignored and no deals made....This my friend was the anatomy of the problem: the US wanting to punish the SU in its own backyard, the SU deeply trapped in the US farcial (cold) world war, understanding this and then intervening, thus falling into the US trap, before this even when Afghanistan went with a begging bowl to the US, the US ignored them. Their interest was viz a viz the SU, and they are not so "benevolent" to let the SU act and then do their part, they preempt and seek to escalate, like they are doing in Pakistan, they seek to set traps- you are being too forgiving of the US actions in that area that has reduced Afghanistan to the stone age graveyard it has become.

Kho tum kia baat karti hay?

Tum Pushto ko Angraizi kiyooN samajhti!

... or to put it in another manner, was Goebbels and his radio broadcasts useless rantings on airwaves making no difference to the battleground?

#114 Posted by tahmed32,

Are you still really under the impression internet is not a tool of war?

zeemax: i need to remind you that writing posts anonymously on the internet does not make one a warrior. and getting kicked out for abusive language does not make one a detainee.

Greetings Tahir Sahib,

Let me tell you a secret I have learnt from hundreds of illegal detentions by chowk istaff.

They only step in when they see too many soiled dhotis abandoned in the dust and too many murtid underwear bloodied and downed, to save the field for another day - till the same defeated forces come back with different nics. Till they do, they place warriors like you (and some other) under detention.

Her Tahir: Why are men called "Her" in german?

Re: # 101
If Mr. Asadi has sent the articles to ChowQ, let them publish these so that we may read what he writes.

Why are they so afraid of losing their paying sponsors?

Re: # 108 Tah Med 'battees'

Nicht sieht Deutscher wie DIESES aus!

Re: # 97 Bubbay
While you're at it; do me a favour by asking ChowQ to ban Laddu, NGK, Satya-100 and the rest for being total Islam-bashers.

How about it Bubbay?

#107 are you speaking in german again?

Re: # 105 Tah Med 'battees'

No good comes out of a cold sandwich; it is the simmering 'handi' that works for me.

More smiles please.

Re: # 91 Asadi
"American. That paracha has decided to use their "facts" about the non existant woman and the "goats" and what not"

You could be a defense lawyer; thanks for taking up the issue.

Hmm...now what more may I add? Read #104 please!

:)

tahir: "Some sick man has red-flagged so many posts here he could easily pass for a communist!"

good one. :-)

Re: # 89 Satt, ATth, Chay

So sad to hear from you; are you NFP's secretary? Let the man launch a nude protest if he so pleases. Some writers who pen columns at this website just don't have the courtesy to respond to interacts.

"....your tirade is unwarranted and shows the typical desi victim mentality searching for excuses rather than accept the facts."

A full 'desi' is better than a 'half-desi' of a foreign farm. What farm do you come from?

Some sick man has red-flagged so many posts here he could easily pass for a communist! THESE are the sick people whose temperatures you ought to check.

Didn't you hear GWB lie on TV yesterday? Tear up those papers and return; we need to do seroius nation-building over here.

Furthermore, tirades are word-crusades!

#102 urstruly:

abusing and lying, the hallmark of the mullah badmash of pakistan.

between the mullah badmash and musharraf badmash and zardari badmash - God help Pakistanis.
