@AJ Khan: The Afghan refugees in Pakistan are responsible for introducing the drug-running kalashnikov culture into that country. They completely destroyed the peaceful social fabric of Pakistan by infecting the country with their endless penchant for crime and terrorism. You Afghans are in no position to lecture Pakistanis on "honor."
@A J Khan:
The Afghans are the honorable people currently in Pakistan. Once they're gone you won't know what the word means anymore.
Vienna,September 26,2012 Hope it is not for the founding initiatives of a United Nations without the symbol of failure. The Organization of Islamic Cooperation, OIC can easily be a substitute to the United Nations considering geography,population mass and of course the determination for success is concerned. But there numerous factors beyond the control of the faithful.Let us wait and watch how Pakistan´s double diplomacy on Afghanistan works.
