The US desire to make India a bulwark against China by Asif Haroon Raja
Posted By: Asif_Haroon_Raja Created On: 27/Jan/2011 Views: 1878 Replies: 1 
The US dream of converting India into an effective bulwark against China had been perceived sometime in the late 1990s when India had got itself fully aligned with USA after the demise of its earlier patron USSR. No other country in Asia was prepared to undertake this role since none have the military capability to do so. Moreover, China’s foreign policy is peaceful and its military strategy is Click here to read Full Article

America’s desire to play a great game in Afghanistan by Asif Haroon Raja

War on terror has entered tenth year but the US is still clueless when and how it will terminate the war. One of the reasons for its lack of progress is that in its given set of priorities, Afghanistan was accorded lower priority since it was considered an almost accomplished affair. Another reason for prevalent confusion is that rather than keeping its allies friendly and regional countries frien Click here to read Full Article
The US Must Solve Kashmir Tangle Before Departure by Asif Haroon Raja

Soon after occupying Afghanistan in end 2001, the US instead of putting things in order in the occupied country started wasting its energies on Pakistan and kept nudging it roughly to do more against foreign militants and those providing them shelter in the northwestern tribal belt of Pakistan. It kept its gaze fixed on Pakistan only and held it responsible for providing safe sanctuaries and allow Click here to read Full Article
 
Review Of War On Terror In December 2010 by Asif Haroon Raja

The Republicans under George W Bush had taken the credit of stabilizing Iraq and gradually handing over provinces in Iraq to Iraqi forces. Gen David Petraeus and Gen Stanley McChrystal were pronounced as heroes. Claims made and acclaims received were far from truth since Iraq is still as volatile as it was in earlier years of its occupation. Obama riding over the crest of popular votes also though Click here to read Full Article
Sharpening secular-Islamic divide in Pakistan by Asif Haroon Raja

Out of six billion and 90 crore world population, one billion and 57 crore are Muslims. Every sixth person in the world is Muslim. There are 57 Muslim countries on world map and Muslim population is one billion fifty seven crores. 52 Muslim countries are secular while Sharia is practiced in Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Iran, Nigeria and Afghanistan (at least till October 2001 under Taliban). Iraq also had Click here to read Full Article
 
Errors made by USA in Afghanistan by Asif Haroon Raja
Posted By: Asif_Haroon_Raja On: 8/Jan/2011 Views:2199 Replies:1 
With the kind of extraordinary troop buildup and array of destructive weapons amassed for Operation Enduring Freedom in September 2001, and taking into account negligible defensive capability available with the Taliban, the outcome was a foregone conclusion. While US led coalition forces succeeded in toppling and pushing out Taliban regime in one month time, very little work was done during holdin Click here to read Full Article
India’s military leaders are far detached from reality by Asif Haroon Raja

The Brahman Hindu of today wishes to re-establish the ancient grandeur of the old order in the light of which he basks for he is a child of that culture. The Hindus contemptuously dismiss historic factuality and instead cling to self created myths and legends. The nostalgia for a mythical past acts as a distorting mirror. They strongly believe that Mahabharata extended over an area from including Click here to read Full Article
 
Rejoinder to Farooq Sulehria by Asif Haroon Raja
Posted By: Asif_Haroon_Raja On: 24/Dec/2010 Views:2509 Replies:1 
Articles of Farooq Sulehria appear occasionally in ‘The News’. He writes sensibly but at times his liberal bent of mind overtakes rationality and fair-mindedness. In his recent article titled ‘Swat video from Sudan’, which appeared in the News on 23 December, he has forcefully condemned lashing incident in Sudan and has also replayed the Swat video of lashing incident in early 2009. He is feeling Click here to read Full Article
India’s true face has been exposed by Asif Haroon Raja

9/11 dramatically converted Pakistan from an international outcast under a military dictator aligned with extremist Taliban regime in Kabul to become a key strategic partner of America’s war on terror. This change in status brought about by USA did not occur out of the blue but under a well conceived design. While Afghanistan was already on the hit list of USA since 1997, 9/11 gave a ready made ex Click here to read Full Article
 
India’s mythical beliefs and Pakistan forces war preparedness by Asif Haroon Raja
Posted By: Asif_Haroon_Raja On: 20/Dec/2010 Views:2332 Replies:1 
Indians believe a lot in myth making. They derive pleasure in pretending what they are not. Governed by the yearning desire to be called a big power, they have been making strenuous efforts to fulfill their dream. After achieving a so-called military victory in former East Pakistan in 1971 with the help of former Soviet Union and Mukti Bahini, the Indians started imagining that India had become Click here to read Full Article
Petraeus is further spoiling the messy situation by Asif Haroon Raja
Posted By: Asif_Haroon_Raja On: 16/Dec/2010 Views:1774 Replies:0 
Despite our estranged relations with USA from 1990 till 2001, our leaders continued to vie for US friendship. The two PPP tenures in the 1990s in particular struck secret arrangements with Washington to attain power. However, the US influence was kept within permissible limits and none could dare openly espouse the cause of USA or promote US interests at the cost of national interests. This was am Click here to read Full Article
