#2 It's this brand of insanity that ensures Pakistan will remain one of the first-class shitholes on our planet for generations to come.

#6 funny how these guys get all riled up years after they're defeated in whatever war, (choose war here) and then try to explain away their own incompetence and subsequent military loss as being the inevitable outcome of conspiratorial forces beyond their control. I guess they need a new lesson in the old adage "live by the sword, die by the sword.

#9 Yeah the Soviet Union was helping out the Americans to screw Pakistan on behalf of Israel. That is a twisted little circle they've created. Much smarter if they had blamed an Indian/Burmese secret deal because Burma is in the proximity of East Pakistan and the government of Burma disappeared into the swamps of Myanmar making it impossible to truly prove conspiracy was made up.

#11 If you dropped LSD on a writer you couldn't get a more imagined piece then Tawriq's pen has brought forth.

#14 Because even Pakistani stupidity isn't quite stupid enough without some of its cleverer members helping the clever ones.

By Gawd, that's a quote we need to enshrine around here.

#15 I was just translating, Dr. Steve. I'm not clever enough to think of such things all on my ownsome.
