India-Pakistan
America will disintegrate soon, Ch.Shujat Hussain
2003-04-14
NNI: President Pakistan Muslim League (Quaid-i-Azam) and parliamentary leader Ch.Shujat Husain has stressed all the political parties in the country to join hands for protecting the sovereignty of Pakistan in the wake of fast changing global scenario after war on Iraq.
"Really. It coulda been us..."
Addressing the stone laying ceremony of Native University at Kharak Azad Kashmir, he said in view of the global events the Kashmir issue has to be considered seriously. Speaking on the occasion Shujaat emphasized the need that PML (QA), Jamaat Islami, PPP, JUI and all other parties should unite themselves on Kashmir issue so that this issue could be resolved. He said the time has come that no one should play his own politics but come out of groupism. Referring to the US aggression on Iraq, the PML stalwart said "I do not accept USA as a super power as Allah almighty is the only super power of the world".
Then you won't mind if we pave your country, right?
He said the world is dividing into two blocks. France, Germany, China and Muslim countries are gathering in a block and the time is nearer when America will disintegrate.
"We're me-e-e-e-l-l-l-l-t-t-t-t-i-i-i-i-n-n-n-n-g-g-g
Ch. Shujat Hussain said the attack of US and its allies on Iraq did not reflect that the people of USA and Britain are against the Muslims. Had it been so there would not have been protests of 1.5 millions people in support of Iraq. The USA and British administration is using such tactics has jolted the civilized world
... and Pakistan, too...
but sooner they will be exposed. The PML leader said his party has been determined in difficult time to face big crisis but it did not accept any pressure whereas there have been talks that we should ask for facilities and get our loans written off. We get rid of the country from slaved mentality. He said he had already stated that USA and its allies will face the music. They had a plan to conquer Iraq in two days but on the expiry of 22 days they are still wondering in the desert. Inshallah the victory will be of the truth, he asserted.
They have a desert in downtown Baghdad?
Ch. Shujat Hussain said some politicians call General Pervez Musharraf as a dictator whereas in the past the military rulers have been in the power for ten years saying, "if General Pervez Musharraf wanted to do so then who could have stopped him. General Musharraf transferred power to the elected representatives on his own and now it is our responsibility to strengthen routs of democracy". He said, "if we did not learn a lesson from the past then the end will be identical as of the past. Our party has ensured cooperation to the MMA and other parties on the issue of LFO [Legal Framework Order]. I hope there will be progress in the dialogue but I will say there are some people who are dictated from abroad."
"It's them insidious furrin' conspiracies, Fatimah. Deep-laid plots agin' you 'n' me 'n' all our kin..."
Ch.Shujat Hussain has said that an agricultural revolution can lead the country on the path of development. He said the past government tried to bring an industrial revolution in the country the results of which are before us. He said he had asked Punjab Chief Minister Ch. Pervez Elahi that to give special attention to the agricultural sector and after it to the Education, health and other sectors.

INDIA
total population: 52%
male: 65.5%
female: 37.7% (1995 est.)

There is web access to the CIA world factbook. Here is the link:

http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/index.html

Old Patriot---India is not much better, as far as literacy goes. All of these countries in the area have a great mass of people that get very emotional but have no tempering of the emotions with judgement. There is just no or little connection. Then you have the religious fanatics that feed the fire with gas. Somehow one must start with good schooling, teaching rational and critical thinking. And who is gonna start that off in Iraq, Pakland, Syria? This will be the biggest nut to crack in straightening out the middle east. Maybe an analogy of the middle ages with the church and the scientists and the plagues. In the middle ages, the church held much of the power. But the plagues came and the church was helpless, so the heritic scientists and their art were allowed to do their thing. Maybe the middle east needs to really bottom out with ranting and jihad and Islamists before they can climb back up again. I sure do not see the moderate Muslims standing up and showing the way, most of the time.....

#6  This rant, plus several others I've read lately, prove unequvocally that there's a major problem in the Middle East. These people live in Cloud Cuckoo land. They really don't have a clue what the United States is about, what's going on in this nation, and how it all fits within our kind of government. They're making some pretty stupid decisions because they're being fed a bunch of propaganda from the Arab press, the "Arab street", and most of all, from the Muslim "leadership". That leaves 'em kinda hanging out to dry when they run across the REAL US.

The other side of the same problem is the lies they're told about their 'superiority'. After a few dozen years of that, they begin to believe it, regardless of the lack of any real success in anything other than killing one another.

It's gonna take a looooooonnnnnngggg time to get this bunch back to reality, I'm afraid.

#5  Paul, what does your book say about India? (out of which Pak sprung) The craphole you're referring to is really the whole subcontinent. There is less respect for human life (depending upon the caste) in India than Pak. Not exonerating Pak. If the state there is sponsoring terrorism, fry 'em.
But both countries are trying to emerge from centuries of cultural horror that their respective religions have caused. (when in India in '92, I had a bishop tell me that to this day, NO major public works project happens without a human sacrifice, a paper in Bombay said there were 700 unclaimed bodies in the railyards the last WEEK [probably suicides - next atavar or whatever] and both countries kill missionaries and converts regularly.
Like Paul Harvey says, "It's not one world".
I have a bit more grace for Pak than say Syria or Iran. They've both had significantly more civilization, we should expect better from them.

#4  *holds up card* 7.4 Link was not permanent, and so points were deducted due to inablity to verify if promising statements (responsibility to strengthen routs of democracy) were truly the work of the speaker and not due to incompetent translation or editing.

#1  Well, Mr. Hussain, you can rant and rave, but here is one of the main reasons your country is such a disfunctional shithole. Look at the different country's literacy rates, courtesy of the 2002 CIA World Factbook:

LITERACY: definition: age 15 and over can read and write
PAKISTAN
total population: 42.7%
male: 55.3%
female: 29% (1998)

IRAQ
definition: age 15 and over can read and write
total population: 58%
male: 70.7%
female: 45% (1995 est.)

TURKEY
total population: 85%
male: 94%
female: 77% (2000)

ISRAEL
total population: 95%
male: 97%
female: 93% (1992 est.)

USA
male: 97%
female: 97% (1979 est.)
total population: 97%

Less rantin' and more readin'---like me pap used to say...........
