Since one is not aware of the Constitutional provisions relating to impeachment one cannot comment. My personal view is that impeachment is a very extreme step & must not be resorted to. Not because I like or dislike the Gen, just that such things do not bode well for a nation. Lastly...

Why don't we put an end to living in the past and stop exhuming the dead for one post mortem after another. Lets simply look thru the windshield chart a route to drive ahead instead of looking at the rear view mirror all the time.

How appreciative are you guys of anti Pak news & articles ?? As far as I am concerned by sending the kind of reply you have,you too join the league of " Gloat over you neighbors discomfiture " club in S Asia. What the hell .. are we ever going to raise ourselves above such petty jealousies...

Jolly good show !!

Wonder what could be the motive behind such articles ? Since I am not much into journalism , I cannot help wonder if such articles are written by journalists simply to remain relevant / on the pay rolls ? What could you say of an Editor who accepts & allows such articles to be printed ...

This is what I call a " doosra" !!

Why does this editorial from the Dawn smell of a case of " sour grapes" to me ? The fact despite the hurry & urgency alluded to by the author, India still stood up to the US in the WTO is a good sign. Indian Govts have a proven track record of keeping national interests above all ir...

AM, It is possible that what we refer to as errors made by those at the helm in '47 were a part of a deal / package that may have been agreed to by the parties involved. Lets just give the devil his due since he / they are not around to explain and move on. Moreover, what happened then is...

I think you have answered most of your questions. Politicians hardly ever learn from the past..as far as the future is concerned, they are only interested in their own future. There would have been no "Indian turmoil" then too.

[/B] I partially agree with you. Independence was not an option given to the princely states in ' 47. Since I am not aware of Ferozepur & Gurdaspur , I cannot comment. But then,the NWFP is connected with Pak , how much sway does Islamabad have there ? Development & education are...

Views, views...and more views. To each his own. The bottom line is that when it comes to an " apple to apple" comparison, with its population , land mass and diversity coupled with the kind of problems such assets carry... the fundamentals in India are surprisingly strong & in place when...

The problem in S Asia is that we have a " larger than life " image of ourselves. We are so full of ourselves that we have no room for others. Add to this the following : 1. Perpetual moaning & whining about the past. 2. In ability to accept the present. 3. Lamenting on what we should /...

Can someone educate me on the option of Musharraf not doing anything at all. Will the required Nos be garnered to impeach him ?
