The film is totally sympathetic to the Moslems and ignores the slow purge of the Serbs. I wish she could have seen what I saw there before agreeing to this script.

Her appeal is easy to understand, she has an uncanny ability to fill the characters she portrays with seductive danger. Oh, and as a younger woman she was fantastically beautiful. Now she has come slightly back to earth and is merely very beautiful.
That attraction to both beauty and danger, rather than just beauty is what put so many women's knickers in a twist when Brad Pitt dumped Jennifer Aniston for her. To have it demonstrated so clearly that beauty is not enough to keep what they have was deeply unsettling to beautiful women everywhere.

She is an UN Ambassador of Good Will, or some crap like that, so she isn't just any ol' hollywood twit, like the gal who wore the communist star shirt to Peru (?) during the shining path activities.

..the one who said during the Surge[tm] that we needed to stay and finish the job while the rest of the Hollyweird crowd were too busy being sockpuppets for the Donks.
[Dawn] ACCORDING to a recent report, the Afghan Taliban have reached an agreement with the Karzai government that will end their attacks on schools and teachers.
In return, the education department will have the curriculum vetted and approved by the bad turban group that will also have a say in the selection of teachers.
The Pak Taliban have a much simpler education policy: they just blow up school buildings, paying especial attention to girls' schools and colleges. To further discourage parents from trying to educate their kids, these zealots kill and kidnap them at every opportunity.
These are the people we are supposed to negotiate with, according to large sections of our political class and right-wing media.
But whenever reports of talks between the Taliban and the government do the rounds, they are firmly repudiated by the faceless myrmidons who repeat their mantra of no talks until their interpretation of Sharia law is imposed across the whole country.
So basically, they are demanding that we surrender before any negotiations can take place. According to their calculus, by constantly slaughtering unarmed civilians and attacking state institutions, they will weaken the will of the government as well as the population to resist.
Thus far, their estimation of the establishment's stomach for the struggle has not been far wrong: witness the abject position our politicians and administration took when they handed over Swat ...a valley and an administrative district in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province of Pakistain, located 99 mi from Islamabad. It is inhabited mostly by Pashto speakers. The place has gone steadily downhill since the days when Babe Ruth was the Sultan of Swat... to the terrorist group headed by Maulana Fazlullah. Had not these criminals overreached, they might still have been terrorising Swat.
The reason for the Taliban's rejection of all modern education is that they want to drag us down to their level of ignorance.
The violent Nigerian group Boku Haram stands for a similar degree of backwardness. They shroud their demands for a retreat to the distant past by claiming that they want to restore the golden era of early Islam. But the real reason is that these holy warriors have been brainwashed into believing that everything modern and scientific is 'un-Islamic'. In reality, they feel bypassed and inadequate in the globalised world of the 21st century.
We must never lose sight of the fact that religion has nothing to do with the ongoing struggle: the fight is, and always has been, about power. It is also true that most Moslem countries have failed to put forward a consistent counter-narrative by their generally shambolic performance. This absence of good governance has given the gunnies greater appeal than they deserve.
Having said this, let us not forget what a disaster the Taliban were when they were in power in Afghanistan. They not only isolated their country by their stone-age approach to government, they gave religion a bad name by their brutal treatment of women and the non-Pashtun minorities.
In Pakistain, we have the example of the alliance of the Islamic parties who governed the then NWFP province under Musharraf's regime, having come to power with his help. Widely seen as corrupt and ineffective, they opened the doors to further extremism.
More than anything else, we should deplore the Taliban's benighted attitude towards education. By banning girls from going to school, and imposing their barbaric worldview on learning, they wish to consign future generations to the same ignorance they revel in. Politicians like Imran Khan ... aka Taliban Khan, who ain't the sharpest bulb on the national tree... should ask themselves if they would like their children to grow up and be educated under a Taliban dispensation.
Despite their ignorance, they understand that to exercise total control over a subject population, you have to control what the younger generation absorb. In the mediaeval era, the Church recognised this truth and staffed schools with priests. Only the arrival of the Enlightenment wrested control of learning from the papacy.
Among so much else, children educated in madressahs are denied any knowledge about the wonders of the universe. Who, for instance, will teach them about the implications of the possible discovery of the Higgs boson, recently announced by the director of the Large Hadron Collider at Cern?
To convey the excitement the increasing probability of a breakthrough has generated in the scientific community, here is Lawrence M Krauss, cosmologist at the Arizona State University, quoted in the New York Times ...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...
"If the Higgs is discovered, it will represent perhaps one of the greatest triumphs of the human intellect in recent memory, vindicating 50 years of the building of one of the greatest theoretical edifices in all of science, and requiring the building of the most complicated machine that has ever been built."
One of those who contributed significantly to the building of this 'theoretical edifice' was Prof Abdus Salam, the Pak physicist who was honoured for his work with a Nobel Prize. In Pakistain, he was largely ignored by a reactionary
establishment that was rabidly hostile towards his Ahmadi belief.
How could one discuss the discovery of the Earth-like planet 600 light-years away with a graduate of a madressah?
Kepler-22b is the most likely candidate for a world that might sustain life found so far. This has been a fruitful year for scientists searching the skies for extra-terrestrial planets, and over 1,000 have now been identified.
But for me, the most exciting scientific possibility of the year has been the report that certain particles might have travelled faster than light. The controversial experiment has been repeated with similar results, and should it be confirmed, it will have enormous implications for the tested theory of relativity and our view of how the universe is constructed.
One of the fundamentals of the theory postulates that nothing can travel faster than light. And thus far, all research and experience seemed to confirm this law of physics. But researchers who reported their findings recently might force a re-valuation of what has been taken as gospel for decades.
One possible explanation for this aberration is that these neutrinos might have jumped into another dimension through which the path to the point of observation is shorter giving the illusion of supra-light travel.
Sadly, all these wonders will be denied to children brought up and educated under the Taliban and their ilk. Those who want us to share power with them need to think again.

Much as I personally care about the Higgs Boson (Dear Husband has spent 30 years helping to look for it), why is this author bringing it up? These kids don't know the basic mechanics of the world they stand on. They need to know how weather and soil and basic geology work.
In the medieval era, the Church recognized this truth and staffed schools with priests. Only the arrival of the Enlightenment wrested control of learning from the papacy.
Horsefeathers. It is true that the papacy was full of bureaucrats who were men of politics rather than men of God, and that they got hung up on some details, like refusing to let go of Galen and Ptolemy. However, the Renaissance and Reformation went a long way toward liberating thought long before the Enlightenment. And the Enlightenment, while it produced a lot of good, also brought forth the ridiculous credo that "man is by nature good; it is society that makes him corrupt."* Got that? Perfect human begins are corrupted by the society of other perfect human beings. But that's the theoretical foundation of so much of the claptrap that passes for intellectual activity, discussed elsewhere on this site at great length.
*If Jean Jaques Rousseau had bothered to raise his five kids, instead of dumping them off with the nuns so he could sit around and theorize, the Enlightenment might actually have been more enlightening. Anybody who has dealt with the Terrible Twos, and who has brought teenagers to adulthood without losing his or her marbles, knows that "Mankind is not basically good."

He mentions the Higgs boson so that the reader is made aware of his worldly knowledge, mom. He probably gets the New YorknTimes online for the purpose.
[Dawn] IT is probably for the first time that concrete details of the conflict in Kurram Agency ...home of an intricately interconnected web of poverty, ignorance, and religious fanaticism, where the laws of cause and effect are assumed to be suspended, conveniently located adjacent to Tora Bora... have emerged following an in-camera briefing by officials of the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa ... formerly NWFP, still Terrorism Central... administration and intelligence operatives to the National Assembly`s Standing Committee on Human Rights. The committee was told that nearly 1,100 people have been killed in the area over the last five years while hundreds of houses have been torched. Though sectarian tensions in Kurram are not new, matters deteriorated significantly with the arrival of Talibs over the last few years. While the area`s elected representatives reportedly told the meeting that the situation had improved since the arterial Thall-Parachinar road was reopened on Oct 30, it remains to be seen if it will remain safe for travel. True, only a few minor incidents are said to have occurred since then in contrast to the past when gunnies brazenly attacked convoys, killing or kidnapping passengers. However, ars longa, vita brevis... there are signs that the effects of the conflict are far-reaching, as indicated by the kidnapping of members of the Turi tribe from the Rawalpindi-Islamabad area in the recent past.
Safe passage on the Thall-Parachinar road is one of the key elements to ensuring peace in the region. The road is Kurram`s link to the rest of the country. Several peace deals have been signed in the past but none have managed to permanently end the Taliban blockade of the road or ensure an end to tribal hostilities. The army has repeatedly said it will open the road but this has not happened. An indefinite closure of the road only adds to the woes of the local people. Clearing Kurram of thugs, ensuring safe passage for goods and people on the Thall-Parachinar road and clamping down on troublemakers who foment sectarian violence should top the military`s agenda in the area. Central to all these goals is making sure `non-local` gunnies don`t have the freedom to rampage through the area and open and close roads at will. Unless the army permanently opens the road, its claim of gaining the upper hand over gunnies will ring hollow.

[Pak Daily Times] Forty years ago this week Dhaka fell. Laying down arms by the Pakistain Army to the Indian Lieutenant-General Jagjit Singh Aurora was the biggest military surrender in post-Second World War history. It was in the period when a revolutionary storm swept across the planet in the years 1967-74. After 24 years of its creation, Pakistain was in the throes of a revolutionary ferment. At that time it had two wings, West and East Pakistain. This was the first time the Pak people had united in a common cause against exploitation and suffering. From Beautiful Downtown Peshawar to Chittagong there was one slogan echoing in the streets: Socialism!
The movement that began with a student revolt in November 1968 and was later joined by workers and peasants not only threatened the military dictatorship of General Ayub Khan but the whole edifice of the capitalist state and socioeconomic system was being challenged. The imperialists and the ruling classes of the subcontinent were in utter disarray. Initially they used the elections as a distraction but when the revolt, especially in East Bengal, refused to subside, they resorted to a mass genocide and another war between India and Pakistain.
However, nothing needs reforming like other people's bad habits... when the largest Left party in the eastern wing led by Maulana Abdul Hamid Khan Bhashani abandoned the movement, the masses were diverted from the struggle that had erupted on a class basis into that of national emancipation led by a bourgeois demagogue Sheikh Mujibur Rehman. Ayub had cordial relations with China and hence the leaders of the pro-Peking Left insisted that his regime had "certain anti-imperialist features". Bhashani had a substantial social base in East Bengal. His boycott of the 1970 elections left the masses devoid of a revolutionary leadership and Mujibur Rehman's Awami League was given a free rein, resulting in a sweeping victory with 167 out of the total 169 National Assembly seats in East Pakistain. The Awami League was a secular, bourgeois and conservative party with its support mainly in the petty bourgeoisie. It tapped deep into Bengali resentment and alienation at the hands of the Pak military and capitalist elite. Mujib successfully raised the rhetoric of Bengali nationalism as a bargaining chip against the West Pak ruling elite. The imperialists and the Indian elite kept him on a leash to preserve the rule of capitalism. However, nothing needs reforming like other people's bad habits... with belligerent military rule, decades of subjugation and an enraged movement, the eastern wing was pushed more and more toward secession. National exploitation played a critical role in this revolt. Between 1948 and 1951, 130 million were sanctioned for development. Of this only 22 percent were allocated to East Pakistain with more than half the population. For more than 20 years West Pak capital extracted Rs 3 billion annually from the east. The failure of the army to provide flood relief during the devastating cyclone in 1970 in which more than 200,000 Bengalis perished further stoked the flames of hatred. As the repression increased, the guerrilla outfits emerged as forces of armed resistance going beyond the control of the Awami League. Even in the army cantonments the tension was deeply felt. Bengali cooks, laundrymen and servants left. Vendors refused to sell any food to the soldiers in the markets.
The military action, code named 'Operation Blitz', began on March 25, 1971. A brutal campaign of mass murder was unleashed. Rape on a massive scale became a weapon of harrowing repression. This massive brutality was conducted in the traditions of the colonial masters who had set up the army. The Pak regiments engaged in the Bengal genocide once practised their trade under General Gracey in Vietnam. General Tikka Khan who became notorious as the 'Butcher of Bengal' was a veteran of Montgomery's army in the North African campaign. General 'Tiger' Niazi who signed the act of surrender wrote with pride in his memoirs, "Nick name Tiger was given to me by Brigadier Warren, Commander 161 Infantry Brigade, for my exploits in Burma during world War II." The main force that assisted the Pakistain Army in Operation Blitz were the vigilantes of the Jamaat-e-Islami ...The Islamic Society, founded in 1941 in Lahore by Maulana Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi, aka The Great Apostosizer. The Jamaat opposed the independence of Bangladesh but has operated an independent branch there since 1975. It close ties with international Mohammedan groups such as the Moslem Brotherhood. The Jamaat's objectives are the establishment of a pure Islamic state, governed by Sharia law. It is distinguished by its xenophobia, and its opposition to Westernization, capitalism, socialism, secularism, and liberalist social mores... organised in semi-fascist organizations, Al-Badar and Al-Shams, bred and sponsored by the CIA. General Hakeem Arshad Qureshi writes in his book, "Maulana Tufail Mohammad (Amir) of the Jamaat-e-Islami visited us after the military action. The Maulana was particularly concerned about the performance of the Razakars (volunteers) belonging to his party." However, nothing needs reforming like other people's bad habits... no army -- how mighty it may be -- can ever defeat a people who have arisen in mass revolt. It is a myth that the Pakistain Army was defeated by the Indian military aggression. It was already paralysed by the mass uprising, general strikes and the armed struggle of the Mukti Bahini and left-wing groups. The Indian invasion was primarily aimed to crush the workers and peasants' councils or soviets that mushroomed and had taken over the administrative and judicial control in the areas that had been liberated from the Pakistain state.
It soon became clear to Indira Gandhi that a protracted struggle here could have critical repercussions inside India, particularly West Bengal where the Communist Party already had a mass base, with peasants' struggles and social unrest raging. The Indian ruling classes were horrified. Peter Hazlehurst of the Times commented, "Red Bengal would alarm Delhi even more than Islamabad." A united Socialist Bengal could have triggered a revolutionary storm throughout the South Asian subcontinent. It was due to this fear of such a revolutionary outcome that the Americans sent the Seventh Fleet into the Bay of Bengal in case the Indians failed to crush the revolt. But it was primarily the absence of a revolutionary party with a bold Leninist leadership that led to the revolution being lost. Forty years of bourgeois independence in Bangladesh has only given the Bengali masses misery and poverty. In some respects they are even worse off than they were under West Pak colonialism. The conditions of the toiling masses in India are appalling. The people of Pakistain are suffering grievously. But the real lessons of 1971 are that a revolution in one part of the region immediately has deep repercussions in the whole region. It is a relationship of a common history, geography, social conditions and culture. The revolutions from Afghanistan to Burma are interconnected. Real SAARC can only be created in the form of a voluntary Socialist Federation of South Asia. Yet again mass revolts impend in the whole region. The real problems of poverty, hunger, disease, illiteracy, unemployment, price hike, infrastructure, religious bigotry, deprivation, violence and exploitation are the same. How can solutions be any different?

Yeah, when the walls fell. That was on Star Trek.
one slogan echoing in the streets: Socialism!
It sounds like such a great idea at first. Pity it takes 50 years to work thru to the consequences.
The imperialists and the ruling classes of the subcontinent were in utter disarray
...a condition which is now uniformly distributed in a sort of Hobbesian all-against-all. Welcome to Pakistain. Mind your luggage!

Can a woman marry on her own?
Quoted in Express Ahle Hadith scholar and leader Ibtisam Elahi Zaheer said in Lahore that no woman could marry on her own without the consent of her guardian. A marriage solemnised only with the consent of the bride could be annulled by the guardian. Another religious scholar Abdul Qawi said that a woman was free to marry on her own accord and that any marriage contracted without her consent could be annulled.
Air Force dropped 10,000 bombs on Taliban
Daily Nawa-e-Waqt quoted Pakistan Air Force Chief as saying that Air Force had dropped 10,000 bombs on the Taliban in 5,500 sorties, which solved only 15 percent of the problem.
But the next 10,000 bombs will be more accurate, and now the plowing is done.
He said however that to win the hearts of the people growth and economic prosperity was essential.
Shah Mehmood and Senator Kerry
According to Hamid Mir in Jang Shah Mehmood Qureshi enjoyed good relations with US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Senator John Kerry which will be used by Imran Khan to restart relations with the US after he comes to power.
By the time Mr. Khan comes to power, Clinton and Kerry will matter to no one except their immediate relations.
Imran to eliminate jihadis on Indian TV
Quoted in Nawa-e-Waqt Imran Khan told an Indian TV channel that he would not name organisations like Lashkar Taiba and Jaish Muhammad among the militant organisations he will eliminate after coming to power because the environment in Pakistan was polarised and people could get killed like the Governor of Punjab.
He also supported trade with India on which a number of religious and political elements raised serious objections, calling him 'bharat-nawaz'.
Balochistan smugglers' paradise
Daily Jang reported that in Balochistan everything from cigarettes, medicine, clothes to oil was smuggled and nothing came from Pakistan. Oil was being smuggled from Iran through secret tanks fitted into buses and trucks. Shila Bagh was the centre of this smuggling.
Haqqani soldier of fortune
Writing in Express Javed Chaudhry wrote that Husain Haqqani first got together with Jamaat Islami but when the Jamaat got in the way he left it and joined Nawaz Sharif in 1988 and was very intimate with him and was behind the rumour that Zardari was spending millions on horses in Islamabad while Benazir ruled. In 1992 he was made ambassador in Sri Lanka by Nawaz Sharif. After that Nawaz got in the way and Haqqani joined Benazir who put him in charge of information ministry and then sent him to House Building Corporation in 1995. When Musharraf came Haqqani tried to get back into Information ministry and even conspired to kick Javed Jabbar out of the ministry but was ousted by General Rashid Qureshi.
Shah Mehmood versus Zardari
Writing in Jang Hamid Mir wrote that during the CIA agent Raymond Davis crisis President Zardari was willing to treat the agent as a diplomat but Shah Mehmood Qureshi as foreign minister was not willing to allow it. After Zardari got the army Chief Kayani to agree that the agent be given diplomatic status even then Qureshi would not budge upon which he was made minister water & power but he refused and preferred to resign.
Reema's many loves
Reported in Nai Baat film star Reema was married to a very rich and talented Pakistani doctor in the US named Shahab who had started his career in Jamaat Islami.
Pass the word to the FBI!
Reema had many loves before she got married. The list included: Actror Shan, Actor Babar Ali, Cricketer Inzimanul Haq, Humayun Butt, Daulat (sic!) Khan, and Sindhi politician Jam Mashooq Ali. She was reported to have married also industrialist Saqib Saleem of Sialkot and a newspaper owner in Lahore.
Sardar Atique against trade with India
Azad Kashmir leader Sardar Atique told Express that starting free trade with India would be the murder of Pakistan's economy. His statement is considered significant as he is often thought to reflect the view of important institutions.
"He didn't engage in retail thinking, but got his ideas in wholesale lots from the corner news shop."
MI also infected by al Qaeda agents
Reported in Nawa-e-Waqt the Military Intelligence officers had attacked terrorists hiding in the Pir Chanbal hills near Pind Dadan Khan. The attack was secretly planned and only the MI insiders knew about it. But the terrorists were informed about their approach as a result of which they were captured and killed before the terrorists escaped. There was a great worry in MI that there could be enemy agents inside the organisation.
Ya think?
'My king lives in Gujjar Khan!'
Famous columnist Haroon Rasheed wrote in Jang that although he supported kaptaan Imran Khan his king was not Imran Khan but someone else living in Gujjar Khan. He was referring to the saint Prof Rafeeq Akhtar jointly adopted by kaptaan and Haroon Rasheed.
Nation addicted to TV channels
According to a survey in Jang out of the total population of Pakistan 68 percent had access to TV. People of Pakistan looked to the TV channels in Urdu for information. Almost 95 percent watched the TV channels for news.
Zamzam performs miracle!
It's been a while since Zamzam water made the news...
Reported in daily Pakistan one named Khalid was given to a life of drinking and dancing but was made to drink a glass of Muslim holy water called zamzam. He drank it and went straight home where he kept in his bed for many days. When his pain ended he found that he was a changed man and did not feel like drinking wine and watching dance.
Ijaz Shah more powerful than ISI
Reported in Nawa-e-Waqt Gen (Retd) Ziauddin said that America was the magar-machch (crocodile) of the river and it was not wise to be unfriendly with America.
Chomp chomp!
He pointed to Ijaz Shah an ex-ISI officer who was home secretary in Lahore during crises and was named by Benazir as her probable killer. The paper reported that Ijaz Shah was more powerful than the ISI.
New BCCP boss in 'trubbel'
Reported in Nai Baat new Cricket Board chairman Zaka Ashraf had come under inquiry in the Agricultural Bank which he headed because his unfair appointments had caused a loss of Rs 18 crore to the Bank. He had appointed Farrukh Suhail the son of PPP minister Nazar Gondal as assistant vice president although the boy had done only BA. He had thus fvoured 33 people.
Haqqani and Afia Siddiqi
Columnist Javed Chaudhry wrote in Express that he was within earshot when foreign minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said that he had sent two million dollars to ambassador Husain Haqqani in Washington for the legal defence of Afia Siddiqui but this money simply disappeared and was mot accounted for. Haqqani was taken on board by PPP in 2004. Under President Zardari he was even poised to replace prime minister Gilani but after the Raymond Davis case his relations with the ISI had soured.
Fehmida Mirza as prime minister
Daily Nai Baat reported that in a national government to be formed ousting President Zardari and Gilani government a new caretaker system will be started with Naek as temporary president and Fehmida Mirza as prime minister while other political party members will be in the cabinet. It will last till the next election.

However, Clintons speech did not address similar sensitivities in the United States, where cooperating progressives and Islamists frequently say Islams critics are mentally ill, and typically refuse to debate the context and meaning of their own religious texts.
Then we get several paragraphs supporting that position - No, YOU refuse to debate! Besides, how can I debate with you - you are mentally ill!
