		<description>Guys, Those who watch things from a distance do not appreciate what Pakistan is going through. It is very convenient to call it paranoia. Ask those who have to  experience bombs exploding around them in the market places, schools, public offices, on the road side, etc. Ask those whose family members and bread earners get blown up in these blasts. And who is doing this? It is the American, Indian and Israeli sponsored rouge militants out of the North West tribal area who are heavy paid and equipped to destabilize Pakistan. Don&#039;t think this is suspicion. There is solid evidence to this effect. Siddiqi is on the spot. This is all a part of the scheme to denuclearize Pakistan.

As for Alan&#039;s comments about aid, yes please keep your aid. We will be too happy without it. We will go through hardship but in the end we learn to stand on our own feet. Now people are convinced that Pakistan will fight its way out of the economic crises once this life support system, this aid addiction, is removed. And you know Alan why America borrows from Tom to give to Peter? To be able to create its political influence by buying out corrupt and incompetent politicians, which by the grace of God we have plenty. The biggest of them all being the current occupant of the presidency, whom I am ashamed to call Pakistan&#039;s president.  American aid comes with strings. It is not given out of love or concern for humanitarian causes. Don&#039;t forget America is a selfish, Jewish run capitalist country which would want to extract its pound of flesh for every penny it lends.

Please do not be naive. Understand underlying facts. Do not make simplistic statements without going deep into issues. Be real guys.</description>

		<description>Paranoia is Pakistan&#039;s real enemy.  
And religious fanaticism.
Both of these are enemies of progress.

Those are our true enemies.
They are much more dangerous than any external threats.

Our enemies can only destroy us if we continue with our paranoia and religious fanaticism.</description>

		<description>There are strong indications that the Indian security and intelligence establishment has finally launched the covert war in Pakistan that they have been planning for about a year. The Indian officials have been seething since last year because their inability to &quot;punish&quot; Pakistan following the Mubmai terrorist attacks that they blamed on Pakistan. They shelved the idea of lightning air strikes strategy dubbed &quot;Cold Start&quot; against Pakistan for fear of sparking a major war. But they have continued to talk about covert actions by Indian agents to destabilize and balkanize Pakistan. Former RAW chief B. Raman has argued that India appoint a covert ops specialist as the new head of RAW. He said last December that “at this critical time in the nation’s history, RAW has no covert action specialists at the top of its pyramid. Get a suitable officer from the IB or the Army. If necessary, make him the head of the organization.”

K.C. Verma, a former IB official and a RAW outsider, was appointed earlier this year as the new head of RAW. This choice appears to have been made at the suggestion of intelligence hawks like B. Raman to appoint an outsider, in spite of significant resistance from within the agency. Mr. Verma&#039;s has been tasked with rapidly building strong covert ops capabilities within RAW. It is not a coincidence that the terrorist attacks in Pakistan have dramatically increased since Verma took the reins of RAW.</description>
