Irreconcilable Differences: Imran Khan and Jemima Reunited
2008-02-01 06:00:00 Adil NajamWell, not really.Headlines like that were in rage today and referred to the fact that Imran Khan and Jemima, now divorced, appeared together in a protest outside 10 Downing Street, London, where Gen. Pervaiz Musharraf was meeting British Prime Minister Gordon Brown. According to The News:The high profile divorced couple stood side by side in front of the prime minister?s office for some time, where a large number of overseas Pakistanis had gathered to protest the arrival of Musharraf in London and his ?anti-democratic? steps in Pakistan.Many believe here that this was one of the biggest rallies of overseas Pakistanis in the recent days who had gathered to protest against Musharraf?s policies. The protesters kept on chanting slogans against Musharraf for more than two hours without any break. The intensity of the slogans was so powerful that these could be heard from a long distance. The PPP and PML-N activists were also present there in a large number.The news about the pr...

Who Will be the Next Prime Minister Pakistan
2007-12-03 12:00:00 Adil NajamI found this full page ad in Dawn very interesting. And also very democratic. Maybe a national conversation does need to be held on who (or what qualities) makes for a good prime Minister? Do you have any ideas? Lets try to do this not on the basis of who can win, but who (or what qualities) should we want as our Prime Minister. At least as an intellectual exercise, and a national conversation, we should be able to get out of Benazir Bhutto v. Nawaz Sharif v. Pervaiz Elahi type of ?pragmatic? discussion into a discussion of what we really would like to see in a Prime Minister. Dawn?s set of criteria is a very good place to start.So, folks, give us your ideas but please please please do not again repeat the same old slogans and naaras about why you don?t like who you don?t like. Lets try to focus this on who you like, and why. And even this is someone who has no real chance of winning, lets at least think about what qualities makes you wish that this person would win.The ad...

Pakistan?s Generals
2007-11-25 19:17:00 There is, however, one big difference in the present situation. On May 28, 1998, Pakistan exploded a nuclear device in its desert areas and successfully test-fired a missile capable of delivering a nuclear warhead. This changed the picture in the region radically. Musharraf may not be the poster boy for democracy as the United States would wish but he appears to be someone who can deal forcefully with the extremists threatening to take over Pakistan. And if Musharraf should falter, another general, Lt. Gen. Ashfaq Kayani, the vice chief of the army, is waiting in the wings. It appears that it will take some time before civilian rule can be restored in Pakistan. {Link}

Petraeus Working to Keep Iraq Assessment Apolitical
2007-08-02 13:47:00 The top U.S. commander in Iraq today acknowledged high expectations for a September assessment of the situation in Iraq and said he would work to keep politics out of the process. Army Gen. David H. Petraeus, commander of Multinational Force Iraq, spoke to Diane Sawyer on ABC's "Good Morning America" program from his headquarters in Baghdad. He said that every time he gets a question about the assessment, "I feel another rock going into the rucksack, which is reasonably heavy at this point." Petraeus and U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Ryan C. Crocker will offer a comprehensive assessment of the status of Iraq during testimony before Congress in September. The general said it will be the ground truth. "We will be trying, frankly, to stay apolitical in this whole endeavor," he said. By then, Petraeus and other military commanders may have offered recommendations through the chain of command to the president. "We will also offer our views of various implications of ways ahead that may be und...
