Well you never replied to happyhearts anwser and you will never do that simply because u know that you don’t have anwser at all.

Anyhow did you know the ratings of us in west is dropping dramaticly? Why do you only have to mention Pakistan? GS Forum allowes you to talk negatively about Pakistan surely does also surprise me because i thought its Pakistani forum and only thing you are doing is insulting Pakistan and humiliating Pakistanis.

I mentioned Pakistan because as it is my country of birth, it is also a country that still continues to shelter Islamic extremists who are also killing Pakistanis. I have a problem seeing Arab, Chechen, Uzbek, and Uighur men setting up shop in FATA and trying to create more problems in the country. If the government did not turn a blind eye to it, maybe the U.S. wouldn’t have any excuse to be in Pakistan to begin with. Pakistanis like to claim that there is absolutely nothing wrong with Pakistan, that Pakistanis are all blameless and that the recent terrorist attacks are all a plot by the Mossad to demonize Pakistan and Islam, while a village comes out in the thousands to honor one of the 7/7 bombers in Pakistan. Of course, that isn’t insulting to you, or happyheart. :rolleyes:

With America’s image declining in many parts of the world, favorability ratings for the United States continue to trail those of other major countries. In Europe, as well as predominantly Muslim countries, the U.S. is generally less popular than Germany, France, Japan, and China. However, the U.S. fares somewhat better in Asia; in fact, Indians rate the U.S. higher than Germany, France, or China and only slightly below Japan. However, America’s favorability rating has dropped 15 points in India since last year.

Won’t shut you up but its a food for a thought.

So you decide to post a report dated from 2006? Food for thought buddy, there was an election last year, which brought about much-needed change since then.

Ever read anything by Ahmed Rashid? Here’s what he said in his recent book ‘Descent into Chaos’:

Eight years after 9/11. Mullah Omar and the original Afghan Taliban Shura still live in Balochistan province. Afghan and Pakistani Taliban leaders continue to thrive in FATA where Al Qaeda also has a safe haven along with a plethora of Central Asian, European, and Arab extremist groups who are now expanding their reach into Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East.

I am simply just bringing up the points people like Rashid have been saying all along, but of course right-wingers in Pakistan will never get it. They think it is their God-given right to impose the Taliban on Afghanis even though Afghanis want neither the Taliban or the foreign occupation there.
