@saeed: The current problems all have to do with 10 years of mismanagement under the dictatorship of Musharraf. He sold the country for nothing because he had no insight into foreign policy and now Pakistan is paying the price. Afghanistan has always been a puppet state of India but now they seem to be even more brazen than before. On the one hand they send refugees to live in peace in Pakistan but at the same time they want to shell the country that gives them security. Pakistan should seal the border with Afghanistan by building a big fence with mines.
Dictator was so bad, did not stand up to US. What happened to our brave politicians? Now India and Afghan are both killing our people and we dont speak a single word? Where are big mouth anchors who never stopped talking Mush not doing anything against US?
kill everything in Waziristan
North Waziristan the epicenter of terrorism.
Is north waziristan part of Pakistan? But it is already in the hands of Haqani network.
Where are we heading????? Is there no value of our lives????? Why are we not asking these people who are killing us by drones, by bombs, by shelling??? Where are our so called leaders???????
when pakistan will stop infiltration into neighbors countries????
we try to match India on border clashes with them but don't we have anything to defend our citizens in Afghan border? If they do such stuff, bomb them.
Afghanistan that is not even a country, even they are firing on Pakistan, our leaders can't raise voice anywhere
Thanks to India... at least they are treating us with some respect.
Looks like Pakistan is being squeezed on both its east and west.
