After 9/11 terror attacks on twin towers, when the US leadership decided to avenge the attacks by invading Afghanistan and also planned to rope in Pakistan, it rejected India’s offer of providing air bases and full military support. It also ignored India’s advice to tackle Afghanistan and Pakistan in a single swoop. In India’s reckoning, roots of terrorism could not be eliminated without taking on Click here to read Full Article

Hardly had Operation Rah-e-Rast in Malakand Division and Swat been over in July 2009 and the horizon was still echoing with thunderous chants of applause from all and sundry including traditional critics, eulogizing the seemingly impossible feat accomplished in less than two months that few odd voices were heard in August-September about extra judicial killings in Swat which disturbed the symphony Click here to read Full Article

During the period of Cold War, except for few hiccups, Pak-US relations by and large remained cordial. Eisenhower era in particular is remembered with fondness in Pakistan. Visits of Presidents/PMs of Pakistan to Washington and that of US Presidents to Islamabad were always big events. Situation took a downturn after the end of Cold War when USA emerged as the sole super power. It ditched its old Click here to read Full Article
 
Why so much hesitancy about Kandahar in operation? by Asif Haroon Raja
Posted By: Asif_Haroon_Raja On: 2/Nov/2010 Views:2132 Replies:0 
After failed operation in Marjah, talk of an operation in Kandahar gained currency. It was asserted that victory in Kandahar would break the back of Taliban and would render them fragile. Media hype was deliberately created to demoralize the militants. It was presumed that successful culmination of Operation Dragon Strike would provide much needed satisfaction and sense of moral ascendancy to the Click here to read Full Article

On taking over the reins of power in January 2009 as 44th President of USA, Barack Hussein Obama’s foremost priority should have been to clear the bloody mess created by his predecessor George W. Bush. The whole world at that time was stridently condemning policies of Bush concerning Muslims specific war on terror which had antagonized the Muslim world and had made Muslims born and bred in western Click here to read Full Article
 
Surgical operation to cure cancer by Asif Haroon Raja
Posted By: Asif_Haroon_Raja On: 27/Oct/2010 Views:1577 Replies:1 
The US is being asked to carryout a clean surgical operation in Pakistan to eradicate the cancer without killing the patient. There are some hitches in this otherwise well-sounding advice. It must be remembered that it was the US which had declared neighboring Afghanistan dangerous and had cut it into pieces with the promise that the surgeon will stitch it up again and make it more vibrant once th Click here to read Full Article
US aid is not proportionate to Pakistan’s sacrifices by Asif Haroon Raja
Posted By: Asif_Haroon_Raja On: 22/Oct/2010 Views:2258 Replies:3 
Under the guise of global war on terror to rid the world from the scourge of terrorism, Pakistan was coerced and roped in and made to fight a proxy war against its own people. So-called temporary reprieve which Gen Musharraf bought from USA proved too costly. The nation is paying for his sins for over nine years and is still suffering due to America’s high-handed tactics and meddlesome role in our Click here to read Full Article
 
Two-pronged efforts to pulverize Taliban by Asif Haroon Raja
Posted By: Asif_Haroon_Raja On: 22/Oct/2010 Views:1533 Replies:0 
War on terror in Afghanistan has entered the tenth year and still the end doesn’t seem in sight. The tenth year has however brought a significant change in the thinking of USA, which has now started talking of options other than use of force and is apparently keen to end the war. One of the reasons of this change in thinking is the failure of coalition forces to defeat Al-Qaeda and Taliban. Click here to read Full Article
America is afflicted with North Waziristan phobia by Asif Haroon Raja
Posted By: Asif_Haroon_Raja On: 17/Oct/2010 Views:2315 Replies:0 
White House egged on by Pentagon has expressed its sense of urgency and annoyance over Pakistan not doing enough against al-Qaeda and other militant groups. It has blatantly accused that Pakistan Army has been unwilling to take decisive action. The US has reminded Islamabad that if it fails to do what it is told to do, it may compel Washington to discontinue extending aid. Threat of aid cut is amo Click here to read Full Article
