Does it even matter whether Osama bin laden Exists!!!
Recently i have started alot of news reading, and the current situation in Pakistan makes me cry. It first started off with bombings in Rawalpindi, and then in Peshawar and just now, Lahore got hit as well...and now i wonder who's the next victim!!!
And apparently the news still reports that the West is still in the lookout for Al-Qaeda's leader, Osama Bin Laden's, whereabouts and i wonder, whether its even necessary. I mean, everyone knows its not a one-man show, whatever is happening, and whoever is involved behind all these attacks, its definitely a whole team, someone with a lot of power and money, and a lot of intelligence information to be able to carry out, not just all these attacks but also be able to infiltrate the Pakistan's government (Although, i'm not so surprised since the government is so corrupt and weak, that penetrating it would be like taking a stroll in the park.)
And in such a case as this, it doesn't really matter who is at the top, this reminds me of the movie spiderman 3, where there is this Sandman, and whatever part of his body you cut off, he still grows back. So eventually even if the West does get lucky in finding Osama Bin Laden, it still wouldn't matter, because even if they take away Osama, the apparent mind of their team, Taleban would still figure out a way to grow it back!!!

MY VOICE, a little tweaked
I thought writing to newspapers, subitting your letters, sending them your opinion which they so happily welcome and publish, is all part of freedom of speech, no one should trample on that, and Newspaper editors of all the people should be able to respect that and accept that.
But i guess i am wrong, well atleast about the newspapers in Dubai. I recently sent this letter regarding Obama's views on how he would handle terrorism in Pakistan, when and if he becomes the President. Anyway, i didnt really expect them to publish it if they found it offensive or angry [since i had written it when i was boiling with rage], but i definitely didn't expect them to change the whole letter and replace them all with their own words which sounded so much more tame and [unfortunately] proper.
Nevertheless the fact is whatever my letter was, and in whatever mood and language i had written it in, they definitely had no right transforming it to suit their needs!!!
Since i couldn't decide if my letter was really offensive or not, i copied both of them "My version" and "Newspaper version" below. So you guys decide if my letter really did need any altering...
"My version"
Obama-McCain Debate
I was just listening to Obama-McCain Debate right now on CNN, and I couldn't help reeling with anger at what i heard Obama saying, about his taking action against terrorists on Pakistani soil, without Pakistan's permission.
He believes Pakistan is "unwilling" to take action, what, is he blind? Doesn't he see that Pakistan is getting bombed up by those same people, who are spreading terrorism all over the world, and Pakistan is trying to combat them, to catch them and to eradicate them from its lands.
He has to be able to respect whatever strategies Pakistan employs in fighting terrorism, however different they may be from his own.
"Newspaper version"
Obama on Pakistan
The other day I was watching a debate on CNN in which Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said that he will move against Pakistan and hunt down terrorists in the country.I think Obama is far from reality on ground. In fact, Pakistan is itself a victim of terrorism and innocent people are being killed in the name of war on terror. Instead of taking action against Pakistan, Obama should see to the reasons that are resulting in terrorist activities.
Btw, i'm prepared for any sort of criticism

Is Pakistan better off without Musharraf?
im still wondering that...
i jus read a few articles and comments online from people discussing how democracy is important for pakistan, and although it might be true, but when faced with the choice of only zardari and nawaz-sharif, then i'd rather take the dictorship of musharraf anytime.
So I'm still wondering whether Musharraf's resignation will turn out for the better for Pakistan, or will it end up causing more chaos, particularly looking at the future with the possibility of Zardari at the head!!!
Before i leave, i came across this quote Musharraf cited in his book,
“Napoleon said that two-thirds of decision making is based on study, analysis, calculations, facts, and figures, but the other third is always a leap in the dark, based on one’s gut.”
