US willing to fight with Pakistanis against Al-Qaeda: Gates
2008-01-25 09:44:00 CNews WASHINGTON: The United States is "ready, willing and able" to conduct joint combat operations with Pakistani troops against insurgents in Pakistan if Islamabad agrees, US Defense Secretary Robert Gates said. Gates said he was not aware that Pakistan has requested additional US military assistance but said it was part of an ongoing dialogue. "First of all, we remain ready, willing and able to assist the Pakistanis and to partner with them to provide additional training, to conduct joint operations, should they desire to do so," he said.

Bangladesh Turns 36: Bringing Stranded Pakistanis Home
2007-12-17 05:37:00 Owais Mughal 36 years ago, on December 16, 1971, then East Pakistan became Bangladesh. Last year Adil Najam had a very touching post on the same topic and I’ll strongly recommend a revisit to it here. Raza Rumi had also written a post after revisiting Dhaka recently. I belong to a generation which did not see those times. My knowledge about this significant event of our history comes from the books I’ve read, things I have heard on the media and from elders, and from Pakistani and Bengali friends I’ve talked to. A lot of water has passed under the bridges since then. Both nations have gone through a lot in these 36 tumultuous years. Whatever the past may have been - the good times and the bad - we at ATP pray for a bright future for both Pakistan and Bangladesh. We want to wish good luck to Bangladesh and its citizens for a bright future. (more…)
What Elections 2008 mean for Pakistanis

Whatever the lawyers, disposed judges, media, APDM and civil society says of boycotting the elections, the thing is that majority of our population, who lives in the villages and is illiterate and ill-informed is not boycotting.Elections are the times of fanfare and festivals. It is one of those rare times for these people to extract anything from their candidates. These candidates are normally the Chaudhary, Khan, Sardar or Wadera of that area, who do nothing but open a 'Lunger' on their 'deras' for the masses. People come there; eat lavish meals, and take tea, smoke for free, praise the candidate, and leave to comeback the next day to reiterate the short-lived saga.Besides of free food, people eagerly await the public meetings and processions and the ultimate day of election. As all these become a source of income for them. Candidates typically pay from Rs. 500 to Rs. 1000 t...
