Another fine example of lazy intellectualism!

The author finds convenient scapegoats while COMPLETELY overlooking the underlying factors that contribute to Pakistan's problems today. I wouldn't exclude author's latent racism against mohajirs either.

PPP had a prime minister for several years and she didn't contribute to Pakistan's problem? Anyone heard of Mr. 10%?

janoo writes "Your insulting language does not prove you a brave man, instead, it proves you to be stupid. "

Absolutely nothing in my post proves me to be "stupid". When you can bring more than a couple other posters that can make points of my calibre then we can talk. In the meantime take a hike and don't try to an apologist for tahmed and his chaprasee- the chaprasee job is filled already so you don't need apply...

janoo writes "It could be your language that makes them what they do."

Not a chance. I have been called all names in the book by these very idiots and even after being redflagged they have not been banned. On the other hand even my mild language, like the word fool, or monkey gets me banned- the reason being my ideas that these peons of the West cannot tolerate...

[As you all can see, tahmed and his chaprasee have redflagged my post to get me banned for no reason yet once again]- #14.

masadi saheb,
There is always a reason. Nothing happens without a reason. It could be your language that makes them what they do. you could be polite for a change and see what happens instead of calling names on an anon site.Your insulting language does not prove you a brave man, instead, it proves you to be stupid.

Khan Sahib,

We had barely become used to the Three "A"s and now you

jump in with four "M"s!

Interesting reading.

The dog ugly Jabba the Hut (h2) and his sidekick the R2d(T)32 both singing the praises of the white man who considers them shit, and that also at the expense of our people. Pathetic fools but unfortunately their kinds of slaves and sons of slaves are abundant in our country especially the military's top leadership, that is why its pathetic shape, and the misery of our people.

I think Pushtoonistan is in the making. You can see all those Pathans are boycotting the elections except those on the hit list like Sherpao. Achkzai sitting with Qazi and Hamid Gul with Afrasiab Khattak. What else do you need for nationalism? The CIA/ISI/Mohajirs think Pushtoons are basically terrorists and they pose a threat to nukes. Nukes are the best blackmailing chip in army's store. So they have planned to make Punjabi army to fight to death to defend Mohajir/western interests. Pathans refused to fight in Swat and Waziristan. The new borders along river Indus will basically keep the Pushtoons westward. The next battle ground is between these two groups and that is what Balkanization will happen in the next decade. However, tribes living elsewhere in mountains may jump on the bandwagon and we will see an interesting scenario.

Re: # 8
This M is in trouble -- by the A one --"ISLAMABAD: Military officers, including corps commanders and senior generals, cannot meet President Pervez Musharraf without the army chief’s consent" -- beginning of the re-professionalization the Pakistan Army.

Besides, If the M coass can declare emergency the K COAS can also declare the emergency -- on the basis of an 'illegal' precedence -- depose the the fake president -- put him under house arrest -- cut the phone lines -- and give the house key to that double A, Aitzaz Ahsan -- to give the M a taste of his own M-edicine -- restore the real Supreme Court -- reinstate the real judges -- send the PCO (Pervez Corporation Orderlies) judges to Re-education Capms for a crash course of Pakistan Constitution -- re-elect a new legislature in a truly fair not colored -- and a truly free-of-M Election -- that in turn elects a new civil(ized) president -- remove the 'Emergency' and go back to barracks being a regular COAS for a regular army for the regular 3 years -- Not NINE years!

How many budding COAS careers this greedy Nine Year 'old' coass has ruined!

2.MQM (mis-representing Indian Muhajirs)
3 Muslim League (representing the opportunists of Punjab)

I think for the purpose of this article the first M was good enough. 1 Musharraf (representing Military)

2 and 3 really have no impact on the situation in Pakistan.

MQM represents a minority in Sindh. Mohajir or the urdu speaking no matter what they might think about their importance(and they think more than they should!) don’t figure prominently in the larger Pakistani politics.

Qatil League is as good as Army wants to make it so is the situation with MQM.
They are both qurbani ka dunmba!

4 Mullah (represented by MMA)
Heheheh… they don’t mean much except that JI is the other name for alqaeeda.

Re: # 2

"Interestingly many Hanud Injuns believe that India is being done in by four Ms too- Marxists, Mullahs, Missionaries and Macaulayites."(majumdar)

majumdar saib -- what happened to the 5th 'M' -- the Modis...? Did you forget these M fakars or they did not deserve the august list?

Good succinct article but could even be more succinct. One M(Musharraf) is the root cause of our problems, the others are merely tools.
