Some of the reasons postulated for this are the United States' abandonment of Pakistan and Afghanistan at the end of the Cold War, the failure to resolve regional conflicts, the influence of religious radicalism on underdeveloped societies, and the negative aspects of globalization.

 Will the General retreat?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
This is the question which is being raised both within Pakistan and outside, especially after two former Prime Ministers, Benazir Bhutto and Nawaz Sharif, decided to bury their hatchets, sit across a table in a London hotel and agree on a Charter of Democracy last month.
It is in the second context that the Charter of Democracy, an eight-page document, signed by the former Prime Ministers on May 14, assumes added significance.
The trouble with the charter is that it seeks to challenge the supremacy of military and, thus, attempts to redefine the present civil-military relations.

 A.Q. Khan
Pakistan's nuclear weapons program is a source of extreme national pride, and, as its father, A.Q. Khan -- who headed Pakistan's nuclear program for some 25 years -- is considered a national hero.
Moreover, Khan and colleagues of his had published numerous scientific papers internationally on the making and testing of uranium centrifuges, including one dated from 1991 which detailed the methodology to be followed in ecthing grooves on the bottom of a centrifuge to aid the flow of lubricants and thus aid in the centrifuge's spinning speed.
Still, the government of Pakistan is likely not to be eager to give the United States any more information than it has to as to the whereabouts and/or security arrangements of its nuclear arsenal.

 Ministers on ECL - PakDef Forums   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
The ministers are Aftab Ahmed Khan Sherpao, Makhdoom Faisal Saleh Hayat, Liaquat Ali Jatoi and Sheikh Rashid Ahmed.
These ministers obviously command no respect in the eyes of the public and their official decisions have no moral effect, as names are included in the ECL, inter alia, on the basis of white collar crimes or crimes of moral turpitude.
Jamali is nothing more then a ceremonial Prime Minister, he has no authority nor competence to make any decisions, other then taking PIA under his direct control to facilitate the "bherti" of the "jialas", though he was convinced of otherwise......It would have been a great disaster had the proper authorities not intervened.

 Spy vs Spy: Look who is watching
It has been reported that it was Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz who sanctioned a register of attendance of parliamentarians be maintained but Sher Afgan, the federal parliamentary affairs minister, emphasised that his junior minister acted alone in passing on the information to the intelligence agencies.
Again, the real issue here is not whether the premier was not privy to this act -- and therefore exonerated of guilt -- but whether the prime minister and the cabinet have held the minister and the intelligence agencies accountable for passing on and receiving information that is none of their business.
If at all, the parliamentary minister should be spying on the intelligence agencies to determine whether they are transgressing their limits by spying on people's elected representatives.

In Pakistan's military stronghold, Rawalpindi, ISI interference in seating a preapproved candidate was so blatant that the nonpolitical but highly compliant chamber of commerce president was "elected" mayor against better-known political stalwarts.
Pakistan has played crucial roles in two of the main victories of our era--those over communism and terrorism.
And the poor people of Pakistan, in defense of whom the ISI and Gen. Musharraf have made their last stand, may once again lose whatever is left of a country that can still be great.

And, not surprisingly, their biradari tops the list of those political families of Pakistan who have been the main beneficiaries of all military regimes.
After the birth of Pakistan, he bought a textile mill and, in the early 1950s, entered local politics with the support of a local influential, Chaudhry Fazl Elahi, who became president of the country when Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was prime minister.

Formally speaking, of course, Pakistan is a frontline partner in the terror war.
President Bush has even characterized Pakistan's president, Gen. Pervez Musharraf, as the last bulwark against a radical Islamist takeover, praising the general for his commitment to "banning the groups that practice terror." Thus the U.S., otherwise pledged to promoting democracy around the world, finds itself in an awkward embrace with a military ruler.
He thus shows that Pakistan's creeping Islamization predates the rule of Gen. Zia ul-Haq (1977-88), the man widely held responsible for giving Islam a major role in all aspects of Pakistani life.
