Terrorism Accused: Is Legal Aid Justified? Re: # 37 GT bhai, you have put your finger on it......with point 1. Even Tahmed32 saabjee is susceptible to this

a small poitn of order, if I may,
"when she choses to join the profession (willingly and freely) is bound by the constitution to defend (to the best of her ability) the accused. Once she joins the profession, she is no longer free to choose on the matter even if she were to think that the accused is guilty."

only if the said lawyer is a registered lawyer....else not valid....like a registered doctor...

Terrorism Accused: Is Legal Aid Justified? Re: # 25 arey Wheel-o-Time why are you spoiling the poor mans day and his efforts to get a cozy sinecure in the comfortable environs?

khamkhwa you are spoiling for a fight just to see him bloodied (figuritively).

Tell me, hows things with you and the various bailouts?

Better Times Re: # 11

I dont think GoP has gone and let the germs into the system (water system in this case for the loose motions). Rather they must have given up on cleaning/purifying the water and allowing the people to use dirty/contaminated/unpurified water! Old fashioned neglect and short-sightedness, can be used as a form of germ warfare.

Living Gandhi and King Today: Unbroken Historic Continuity Re: # 346 RAS, do you really think .....naah forget it...though here is an interesting proverb

A deaf ear is followed by death and an ear that listens is followed by blessings. (its african BTW)

But Mantolives is training to be a Barrister on Par with MAJ and as a result he has to take stands which are not popular. But in this case, Mantolives is getting carried away with his arguments...

September Morning Re: # 91 yeah, essentially he was also following a modified version of the Mackinder theory (heartlands/Pivot area). Witness the Turkey events and coups there in 1979 followed by elections in 1983 (he and Perle were advocates of close cooperation).

The overall overarching strategy is the same. It is just the algorithms to implement it are different

September Morning Re: # 86 and yet you want to eat your cake and have it.....control the jihadis else you will keep getting regime changes till there is one who doe sit.....till then forget the economy. That is the clear and loud message

September Morning Re: # 79 chaltahai...the next shot mid-ships is awaited...or have you dealt the fatal blow

September Morning Re: # 77 :D :D :D hamza, you do have an interesting turn of phrase (T)

September Morning Re: # 59 Chaltahai - the big dog is coming and is hungry for the you know whats ....and running scared is just a aprt of the picture.

the jihadis and other assorted wannabe heros are punch drunk, and they do know from where it is all falling or coming.

September Morning ijaz: you say “America succeeded in entrenching itself on both the extreme western and extreme eastern shores of the great Eurasian continent. The defence of these continental bridgeheads (epitomised on the Western front by the Berlin blockade and the Eastern by the Korean War was the first strategic test of what came to be known as cold war”.
Brezinski


So was this NATO, or US enterprise?

If this was a NATO enterprise - where does

(a) the EURO trade in oil first started/mooted by Saddam and later taken up by Ahmedinajjaad (Iran) come?

(b) the attempt at under-mining the Dollar through electronic fraud and Caribbean faceless banking system by the Nkoreans feature.

The jihadis can never beat the American militarily - that is almost impossible today - something the likes of our friend Zeemax forget. These guys are so drunk on their little victories, and high on their piety they forget reality. Indeed even without soldiers on the ground....the Americans can beat the jihadis or their sympathisers (so there goes the Mahaan theory).

The Kings in question - are active participants of the Saul Cohen school of thought (ironic isnt it - that the keepers follow a jewish priest!!!), and are active gatekeepers in the Shatterbelt of the world. Cohen, gives a much better picture of the view, than the clash of civilisations man.

End of the day - the strategic importance of the pivot area is diffeent today than from days gone by - it is resources, and resources only. No one wants the unwashed peoples in their houses or in their compounds (you see examples of this in the cities in Pakistan and India).

Similarly, the view the American take (voiced by Bush the other day), we take the war to them, to their lands, not in out lands.

After a point, peoples have to realise that they have to be participants in the "world-economy, the global-economy". They cannot be (and will not be) allowed to piss from outside into the inside, all the while benefiting from this economy. If you do not acquiesce to this, you will be made to do it. So it is in the interests of others to be a (and become) an integral part - and no pissing from inside and outside.

September Morning Re: # 52 iajz sahib, i meant in the context of the spellings ...for a moment there I was left wondering who Mckinder was....(apologetic icon)....perhaps I should have been more explicit in my ribbing. (peace icon).

What yousay is correct. For those people who ask why Iraq this should be eye opener. Essentially, the US has got exactly what it wanted. It has doen two things: the encirclement and reduction of powerful regional countries into smaller entities (iraq trifurcated) (this trifurcation is in tune with Saul Cohen views).
Clash Civilisations appears to have been a distraction for the others.....

September Morning actually, I do not like this "determinism" and "geographic predestiny. "........we have examples for the negation on a grand scale in the last century, and on smaller scale in the South Asian neighbourhood.

That is why whenever someone from Pakistan talks of the "geo-political" location of the country, I cringe at the very thought. Nothing is predestined, pre-ordained. Actually to tell the truth, there is something Chaltahai's writings - comepeting interests which is interesting.

September Morning Re: # 48 Précisez, mon cher, précisez

September Morning So you are saying that what the where the goths, the vandals and huns stopped the great Ceasars; where the great Holy Roman Catholic Emprerors and others crumbled, and where the Magnifisant (sp?????0 600 rode to their death; where Napolean stopped and could not accomplish, which Hitler tried to emmulate and failed miserably with his Nazi theories; George Bush and the Neo-Cons have gone and accomplished.

Ijaz; what root have been eating; and which smoke filled room are you sitting in these days ;)

September Morning "Who rules East Europe commands the Heartland; Who rules the heartland commands the World Island; Who rules the World Island commands the World" - Mackinder
