[Pak Daily Times] We are living in the computer-age, which has increased the thinking capacity of our citizens. Now people from all walks of life are showing interest in all local and national activities. The past has been long forgotten when people only wanted to know about things like politics and education.
A question on the top of the list since last several months is why our law enforcement agencies have failed to stop terrorist activities, even after getting prior information, and who is responsible for this, law enforcers or politicians?
Now the masses are losing their patience and the world is watching incidents of brutality all over the country, case in point being the Sialkot killings and the blasts in Lahore, when people not only tortured policemen, but also burnt government as well as private property.
However, managing this situation peacefully and technically is the need of the hour. Our politicians must think about it, but surprisingly our politicians are doing totally different things, which could not only damage the country, but damage them too.
This is an open secret and everyone knows that Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif was very keen about top-to-bottom postings and transfers in the Punjab Police during each of his tenures. In this tenure, this duty has been transferred to Hamza Shahbaz and now he is deciding the postings and transfers of officials of the Punjab Police.
Sources in law enforcement agencies have said that basically the Punjab government is intentionally avoiding taking action on the information provided by the federal government. How interesting it is to know that the Punjab government prefers its own province over the whole country.
The incidents of two brothers in Sialkot being killed, the killing of a youngster in Shujaabad and killing of a man in Lahore were already question marks on the face of the Punjab Police. When the horrible terror attacks took place in Lahore, news reports and statements by the Lahore commissioner proved that all of Punjab's authorities concerned had prior information about the terrorist attack in Lahore, but they did nothing.
Amazingly, the worst situation started the next day of the incident when speculation started roaming in all corners concerned about massive-level transfers and postings in the Punjab Police. Then the high-ups who need to work on busting terrorist networks and their arrests leave all such positive efforts and start working to save their jobs.
Everyone knows that such types of officers were earlier deputed due to their strong links in the political circles. So now they are again using these links to save their jobs and interestingly, the rest of the officers who are waiting for deputation are also busy in searching links in the political circles for their postings.
However, this situation takes its toll on the citizens and some incidents proved that the public's emotions are at their dangerous peak. In this situation, they can do anything because now the Punjabi people are getting desperate. This scenario could also create problems for politicians who prefer to depute their loved ones on lucrative seats, especially in the Punjab Police Department.
On the other hand, the corners concerned are showing their apprehensions that the floods are not only damaging the country's economic situation, but could also damage the country's law and order situation.
The government's poor grip in the flood-affected areas regarding the law and order situation has already been proven, as several foreign social workers and representatives of foreign organisations returned from these areas after receiving threats by terrorist groups.

"but could also damage the country's law and order situation"
I'm curious - how do you damage something that doesn't exist?

From my reading of Pakistan, Punjab and Pashtun seem to be the most anti american element of Pak society and hence make up the majority of the PakArmy.
If we can encourage Balochistan and Sindh to establish independence from these two this would be the best way forward to create peace in South/Central Asia!This is what the Pak army fears most.

"...by the time I grow up there won't be any fish left in the sea. Rainforests and clean air will be a thing of the past...Entire countries will disappear. Life will change, in ways you can't even imagine. There could be famine, world-wide epidemics...life expectancy will be lower..."
News flash, kid. We got the same message when I was your age, almost forty years ago. So relax. And get off my lawn.

Take a Prozac. Or a Valium. Maybe both.
I guess your "educational facilitators" (formerly referred to as "teachers") never told you that America's actually cleaner than it was back before I hit puberty.
You aren't breathing in lead fumes from gasoline, many endangered animals have made a comeback, and even the crime rate has dropped.
Your "threats" make us laugh. We weren't bubble wrapped when we rode our bikes, like you and your fellow precious flowers...we deliberately jumped them off of rickety "ramps" for the fun of it. Our parents never strapped us in the car, we drank from the hose, and we ran around unsupervised for hours in the summer. Some of us even blew crap up on occasion. So, yeah, kid...can't wait for you and your sheltered playdate buddies to "bring it."
You think your pathetic little whining is gonna make an impact on generations that grew up thinking they were gonna get nuked before breakfast because someone in the White House or the Kremlin was having a very bad day and wanted to take everyone with them?
Now shaddup, you entitled little ugly brat, and go get me a beer. And some sushi while you're at it. I wanna enjoy some fish before it's all gone.
Chop-chop, pinhead, or I'll smack you with my cane.

No car for you. No droid for you. No laptop for you. No TV for you.
Ya wanna save the world, kid? Here's a tent, a shovel and a canteen. Go live in the yard, ya little prick.

The kids an actor guys. He's probably getting paid well to do this ad so he can afford a new IPOD and scooter. He could probably give a shit one way or the other just as long as he gets paid. Greenpeace on the other hand need to be dealt with...

A future red-green recruit since arrested adolescent development seems to be a socialized trait in them.

I'm now worried that the production studio had to stop the contrast adjustment at +98 instead of +100 for fear of turning their pitchboy into an albino jawa.

kinda feel sorry for the little actor brat. Every time he gets in a car, plane or turns on his electronic equipment, he will be marked as a sell out. Haha. Doesn't he stop to wonder how the world will be able to watch the video? Useful twit.

Wife sayz, "He's still just a rat in a cage, but can he fake it for one more show?"
American Thinker via Instapundit The money quote
...Make no mistake: Obama, Pelosi, Reid, et al. believe in nothing but power. They are not "socialists." There are no socialists in the world except those in mental institutions or very young children who have never seen modern political debate in action. The façade of socialism has always been the same -- a phony banner for the acquisition of power. Every brutal thug, every Hitler or Stalin wannabe, first champions the masses against the despised few who exploit them. It is almost impossible, in a free society, for anyone to exploit anyone else for very long. But the lust for power must be sated, and the fruits of freedom must be slandered and spat upon with invented words.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
