A Sad Day for Pakistan
Well said.
The situation is such that any Daakoo is better than a wage-earner turned President. A doctor raping is judged differently than a street rapist. The Street rapist is NOT under oath, he is not fattening himself on taxes of avaam.
I despise wage earners and especially the ones who work for the Government..the military & the civil servants..some servants! these thUggs. These Cantonment & Colony Kuttaas lead safe lives..they are not risk-takers..unlike any other class in Pakistan which is self-employed & is talented..even the worst Maulvi becomes powerful because of his talent & not because of being raised as a puppy in the Cantonment & Colony Kennel. So no need on your part to be apologetic for Maulvi as a CLASS. If CLASS is being despised here than we must despise the ARMY as a class[& it does really need our scorn]..Never ever blame a Maulvi, or grocers, Dhotivallaas etc against a name such as Muchharraf. Name against name..class against class..gender against gender is always a fair comparison.
Kindly teach this to the Cantonment Kuttaa...the one who is cock-eared on His Master's Voice records.

Confronting Ahmadinejad in U.S.
Thanks for posting that piece. The reaction to the Dilbert blog itself is quite an eye-opener. The overwhelming majority of them did not "get it" is really quite a matter of concern and a perhaps a lesson to us who are foolish enough to believe in the supreme intellectual level of those who have volunteered to bring democracy, liberty, and freedom even to those dying & dwindling in numbers due to famine & pestilence & disease.
I wonder if Scott Adams himself might not become history himself. It is not a good sign when "history" could be probed & discussed ( revisited or revised ?) in a literary manner (sarcasm) so obtuse and acute simultaneously that the "message" could be lost on a majority of the "simple" folk.
Are we sure that people like Mr. Masadi, You or even myself
really belong in this age. 'Language' as we knew it, as has been my contention all along, is on its death bed. No one has the "luxury" of time & effort to figure out nuances of a sarcasm, satire, or humor.
If one can let others "see" it, why say it? I think Dilbert should stick to cartoons. It is also safer. It requires a much less attention attention span & one is always geared up to chuckle & smile even before one opens the funnies page.
After thus brightening up one's morning one is always ready to plunge head-first to brighten one's future at the Corporate Headquarters.

thank you very much for that Jami couplet. I cherish your sentiments & views.
Here is my little gift for you..and others must watch it as well. New York 24 september 2007:AhmediNejad thronged & feted by Jews. A MUST watch!
It is footage like this which is not shown by the Kanjaroons in Islamic Countries.
How the FUNDAMENTALIST kanjarroon-hating Jews & Muslims can be friends can easily be seen by the love & admiration the NEW-YORK jews bestowed on their great "benefactor of Jews & humanity"...AhmediNejad!
Must watch & mass-e-mail the link.

Rightfully so, it said no to it. It must also be understood that the decision was "arrived at" [ perhaps with mutual consent among the judges) at a respectable 6-3 ration. Hence
a very wise veneer was also provided. Face-saving of bloated egos is the call of the day..and the way this is being played out will InshaAllah put Pakistan back on track.
At present a direct & bloody confrontation between the Executive, the judiciary, the military and the executive
might bring the feel-good euphoria but it will dry up the little sap that is remaining in the ailing body of Pakistan.
Supreme Court has once again shown the way to the public. Mucharraf, no matter what happens, will not be able to withstand the pressure mounting against him and contrary to what Hamidumdumb has deduced from my posts USA is NOT that big a factor anymore in world affairs as it once was..not that it does not try its hand at the big-game where it finds easy sellouts like Maader-Rater Muchharraf & the KanjarRee Bayzameer...how the hell does one conspire against the ones who are willing to servethe master for no-salary?
If Turkey, the ultimate bastion of the modern-day Kanjaroon (just grope & body-search Mantolives these days) is on the march towards Sharia from which farm are these radishes?

The Supreme Court decision is neither an endorsement nor a rejection of Muchharraf..per se. It is a decision regarding the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court itself..whether it has the authority to hear the case.Rightfully so, it said no to it.

Nov.2008 is when it is already known who the next Pres. will and that is the decision time.
No need to gloat..Mucharraf is still a Kanjaroon & your support for him proves it...but then your pride in being a Kanjarr still wins you the dubious honour of being a straight shooter..
Wish the same was true of those who are still trying to find their moorings & checking which side their toast will be buttered.
At least you I know where to locate and encourage you to go through that long & repeatedly postponed Hara-Kiri of yours.
For now the Kanjaroons can roam about the precincts of G7 or in the vicinity of Wah Cantt. without a bullet-proof vardi.

Haaa Haaa Haaa.
"The Simian and the Porcine Show"..what a story.
It is worth an encore.
===========================================================
'twas a cold day in November,
as i very well remember,
i was walking down the street in drunken pride.
but my knees were all aflutter,
so i landed in the gutter
and a pig got up and lay down by my side
as i laid there in the gutter,
thinking thoughts i could not utter.
when a colleague passing by did softly say:
"ye can tell a man that boozes
by the company he choses"
and at that the pig got up and walked away
============================================================
Well as much as I despise Muchharraf of the analphile sect, I must say that the vakeel and hence the ragtag opposition and the hapless avaam must accept the SC decision as grudgingly as Muchharraf & co. did in July.
If the opposition has enough moral capital invested in the hearts of the populace then they need not even have to "organisez" or ask the avaam for an uprising. It is always spontaneous and the leader is lead by the people at his/her back & not according to his/her dictates.
If anyone in Pakistan truly represent the sentiments & the ethos of Pakistan ..it is the chaudhry bradraan.Like the Syed Braadraan of the mughal times, these king makers have political savvy and acumen which would put a Chanakyaa to shame. Same with Sheikh Rashid, and Maulana Faz-ur-Rehman..the ability of Muchharraf to retain them and squeeze all their talent for whatever is their worth speaks volumes of his own devious mind as well.
It is time that the "opposition" now let the events take its course. Muchharraf will stay as President as long as Bush is
in the white-house. Just review the "election" of our "leaders" & pay special attention to the month & even the date when they assumed office. That would be an eye-opener itself. If democrats do not win, BB and PP stand no chance in nov. 2008 as well.
What most of us do not realize that Pakistan & Muslim lands are the new chessboards on which the Democrats & Republicans play their pastime games.Now that Latin America is now free of their great-game psyche. It has nothing whatsoever to do with either ideologies or economics anymore.

THe Queen of Britto-Baboons agreed to be humiliated and was granted a visa by the Saudis as an "honorary man". The baboon-queen, with not even a shred of self-respect in her icest-laden genes thoroughly partook & enjoyed the proverbial Arab hospitality.
Leave it to the Cantonment Kuttaas to bark at Arabs and lick the drool & stool of United Satans.

Limits of Multiculturalism
A provincial election candidate's suggestion that Ontario do what B.C. has been doing well for 30 years -- finance independent religious schools -- has created a controversy not seen here
Janet Steffenhagen, Vancouver Sun
Published: Saturday, September 22, 2007
An issue that threatened to explode last year was a deal B.C. signed to settle a human-rights complaint, which included a promise to make all K-12 curriculum gay friendly. Many religious groups were upset, however, those with independent schools were quietly assured by government that any changes would not affect them.
The main objections to the principle of independent school funding come from the B.C. Teachers' Federation (BCTF) and the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), which represents some 25,000 workers in public schools.
"We have a pretty heartfelt, idealistic commitment to public education," BCTF president Irene Lanzinger said in an interview. "If you want something other than that, you should pay for it yourself."
The BCTF usually directs its criticism at elite schools with hefty tuition fees and entrance exams, but those are few in number. The vast majority of independent schools in B.C. are faith-based, although there are also some Montessori, Waldorf, French, first nations and special education schools.
Enrolments in independent schools have been growing by an average of two per cent each year for five years, despite a steady decline in the number of B.C. school-aged children overall. More than 10 per cent of all students-- some 66,000 children -- are enrolled in independent schools, and in a few urban districts that percentage is almost doubled. Independent schools are busy with construction while public districts have closed 150 schools in five years.
The BCTF and CUPE say government support for independent schools is part of a dangerous trend towards privatization.
"We [have seen] the erosion of public school funding and an influx of funds and students into private schools," CUPE president Barry O'Neill said in an e-mail to The Vancouver Sun.
"This is particularly worrisome at a time, like we are in now, where we face declining student numbers.
"Ontario has an opportunity to maintain an integrated and diverse pubic education system. Our advice is to hold the line on more funding for independent schools and not go the way of B.C."
Independent schools in B.C. are eligible for 50 per cent of annual operating grants to public schools, but they receive no capital cost allowance. Government argues that ending such funding would prompt independent schools to raise tuition, which would force many of those students back into the public system and up education costs by half a billion dollars.
Last year, B.C. gave $211 million to independent schools, including first-time grants to help them educate special needs students. Since their allotment is calculated as a percentage of per-pupil grants to public schools, it rises as public school enrolments fall. It also goes up every time public school unions negotiate a salary increase.
Historian Jean Barman, who has written extensively about B.C.'s independent schools, said apart from union protests, there have been few complaints about independent school funding in B.C. and she is surprised by the Ontario outcry, especially given that one group of religious schools -- Catholic -- already receives public money.
REST Of the story is HERE:

Every little baby step is leading to the complete annihilation & extinction of the secularoons from the face of earth.
Never ever be fooled: Secularism means KUFR..not Shirk..but KUFR.
Important fine point: Secularoons are NEVER athiests & vice versa. Secularoons are ANTI-thieists.
Atheists are benign babies compared to ANTI-theists (secularoons) who are malignant ogres.

"Ontario has an opportunity to maintain an integrated and diverse pubic education system. Our advice is to hold the line on more funding for independent schools and not go the way of B.C."
Independent schools in B.C. are eligible for 50 per cent of annual operating grants to public schools, but they receive no capital cost allowance. Government argues that ending such funding would prompt independent schools to raise tuition, which would force many of those students back into the public system and up education costs by half a billion dollars.
Last year, B.C. gave $211 million to independent schools, including first-time grants to help them educate special needs students. Since their allotment is calculated as a percentage of per-pupil grants to public schools, it rises as public school enrolments fall. It also goes up every time public school unions negotiate a salary increase.
Historian Jean Barman, who has written extensively about B.C.'s independent schools, said apart from union protests, there have been few complaints about independent school funding in B.C. and she is surprised by the Ontario outcry, especially given that one group of religious schools -- Catholic -- already receives public money.

Every little baby step is leading to the complete annihilation & extinction of the secularoons from the face of earth.
Never ever be fooled: Secularism means KUFR..not Shirk..but KUFR.
Important fine point: Secularoons are NEVER athiests & vice versa. Secularoons are ANTI-thieists.
Atheists are benign babies compared to ANTI-theists (secularoons) who are malignant ogres.

You win when you assert, you demand,and you insist. You lose & become non-existent once you try to become invisible by merging. Extinct species had a reason to become extinct..they were embarrassed about themselves.
Muslims are in US not always to change themselves ..they are here to change the US as well. IT BELONGS to them. Secularoon Kanjaroon take note! You'll have NOWHERE to run..so get your act together & de-murtid yourself before you get I-ranned.
