#1 One can't expect Musharraf to crack down on Lashkar, Sipah-e-Sahaba and the rest when dangerous terrorists like Mukhtar Mai are still loose and threatening the nation.

#2 Hi, Mr. Moloney, welcome back for your second coming here (hé!), after an another comment a little ago. I was always impressed by your extensive knowledge of the byzantine pakistani political maze, nice to have you back, if only shortly.
And, yes, what's happened and is happening to this woman is a shame, and a stain on Pakistan's honor. Oh, wait... did I say "honor"? I meant "feodalistic, primitive, repressed society".

#3 Thanks 'anonymous5089', I didn't actually go anywhere, I just don't have the opportunity to read the burg during the day so I usually end up skimming over the previous days posts at home.

#4 above all, hes presiding over a stunning eight percent economic growth.

(a) doctored statistics - Pak for instance claims imports of used cars as "industrial machinery imports"
(b) inflated by infusions of billions in American aid money
(c) "equal-equalitis" - the Pak need to be somehow the equal of India - in all spheres.
If India has >8% economic growth, so must Pakistan

#5 Well by dingy, Paul, we just have to fix that! :-)

As a sidenote, why can't we give Dr. Mai asylum in the U.S.?

#6 IIRC, we buckled to Pak gov't types the last time she was here. She was prevented from addressing the UN so she wouldn't embarass Perv.
