I have noted a recurring theme to comments to my articles and others on this site. Comments often say something like "Oh, yes, that's a fine idea, but in the end, we are powerless, because America is controlling the government of Pakistan, anyway - they are merely puppets." In this article, I will discuss my view, from an American perspective, of the degree to which America controls other nations, and I will discuss larger issues of how, and how much, any entity controls any other entity

Pakistan is a poor country. Here millions of people are forced to live below the poverty line. Daily many people die because of hunger, cold and many commit suicide due to the rough life. Price hikes, hoarding, corruption, injustice has broken the back of the society. There is no democracy and there is no safety for the people. But all is not lost. But all is not that gloomy and bleak.

Ian Bell insists England are focused on their own game in spite of the fuss around Muttiah Muralitharan's quest to break the Test wicket record.

Pakistan's ignominious defeats on Indian soil amidst a hostile crowd and a highly talented adversary has also got some silver linings. Like they say that every defeat and every stumble is an opportunity, so it's high time that Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) shouldn't get panicked and starts taking desperate actions.

Power.... something which the elite crave for and the masses know nothing about. They say nothing corrupts like power and our politicians are perhaps the best example of this sort of corruption. They say it was power that was Alexanders undoing in the end. As mere military conquest was not enough for this great general, he wanted to rule the world. The same with Hitler, Mussolini, Nixon, Lenin, Zia Ul Haq, etc etc etc

ISLAMABAD, Nov 29: A new executive jet has been acquired for use by President Pervez Musharraf, raising the number of aircraft in the VVIP fleet to 14. The 10-seater Learjet is one of the three planes whose procurement was approved by former prime minister Shaukat Aziz. "American pilots, who brought the jet here a few days ago, have started training their Pakistani counterparts," a source said, adding that the training would take two months. The country's VVIP fleet includes G-IV, Cessna Citation V, Cessna Citation Excel, Learjet 35, Learjet 45 XR, Raytheon Hawker 400, Falcon 20, Cessna Conquest II, Bell 412 helicopters (3) and an MI-17 helicopter. "Two other jets ordered may land here after the elections. These jets are for personal use of president and prime minister," the source said. He said the value of the new luxury jet was about $60million.
