You forgot to mention the security arangements provided to all the Mullahs, masjids, madressahs, foreign agencies, dignitaries, gas fields, pipelines, etc etc etc etc etc...

The post was to convey the message that I, as a Pakistani, find it insulting when people present Musharraf and his political coalition as the only competent and enlightened people in Pakistan.

Your anti-Mqm biases have been registered more than once, I guess u do this for a living or its become an obsession, whatever the case maybe its not healthy nor are u adding any value. In your defence, being anti-Mqm was and probably still is one of the most popular positions as propagated by previous govts. Now that the tides have turned, pakistan no longer supports Taliban (officially), moderate enlightenment is the newest fad, state of Pakistan needs new actors or reincarnated from the dead so to speak. This is called political expediency, to condemn its is the most easiest thing to do, we all are guilty of that crime. But, reality and state needs demand change of direction wich requires a change in oeadership, thus the reincarnation of Mqm. Leadership of Mqm like any other political party is also keenly aware of the current political scenario and wishes to re-establish itself as a major political entity and is being promoted by many local and international interests.

I'll try to keep it short. I have no political, military or sectarian affiliations. As a matter of fact, I'm getting tired of these discussions and will probably leave the place soon. Unlike some other posters my livelihood doesn't depend on politics.
I didn't clearly condemn this blast in this thread, but that doesn't mean I have a soft corner for the people who perpetrate these crimes. 'Deranged animals' is the term I use for such people who knowingly target innocent people. Calling someone animal is perhaps one of the strongest form of condemnation.
'MQM, Army, ISI' Pandora's box was not opened by me. If you read the other posts by some members, you'd see a clear pattern. I'm not anti-MQM, but I'm sorry to say that I have no respect for Iltaf, as I have no respect for other terrorists regardless of their political or secular motives. MQM as a political party has every right to operate freely. I can support many of the ideals they espouse. Nevertheless, MQM is not the only ones who are against terrorism (religious or secular). As a matter of principle, I'm against military controlling politics. I condemn some Generals for what they did in the past, but I'm certainly not anti-army person. It should've been clear to everyone by now.
The reason Iltaf features in every other thread is the poster who has positioned himself as the representative of Iltaf here. At least Imran Khan's representative can keep himself limited to his thread. IMHO, this place shouldn't be allowed to become a political war-zone for representative posters. You may have political leanings, but please don't turn every thread into 'our party' vs 'the opposition'/'the people our party hates' therad.

Today, Pakistan stands at the cross roads of talibanization which means total annihiltion, both literally and philosophically speaking. Elements that wish to impose their beliefs on the majority will not and have never spared anyone or anything, thus the targeted bombings, suicide attacks, attacks and political blackmail. For civil society to survive it must stand up for itself and be counted, other than that they should keep their peace and be ready for complete blackout.

I agree.
