No need to burn your nickers just because the good ole Dave said something unpleasant.
We just need to ask ourself simple questions.
Is Pakistan getting burned by the Pak-based terrorists?
Is Pakistan's good name getting destroyed overseas by nutz of 7/7 or time square.
If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then we should accept our halat and our reputation as it is and do something to improve it.
No need to lash out on the comments.
oh apologists for the west no need to get your nickers in a twist either by trying ot defend everything the gora sahib says.
The allies also need to ask themselves a few simple questions:
Why have they made no head way in afghanistan in 9 years except for increasing the drug trade under their watch
Why instead of fighting the taliban were they buying out various warlords and thought that would solve the problem
They cant either look both ways as well, they want Pakistan to go after the Haqqani group because they are incapable of fighting themselves yet supporting terrorists in Pakistan.
Cameron should have found another way to appease the Indians instead of sucking yo to them by criticising Pakistan and hoping in return they will give him a few contracts.
Mr Shamalany is a close ally of the British soldiers who patrol the dangerous roads around Lashkar Gah, the provincial capital 20 miles away. The Taliban sow fear in the villages, he said, but it is Pakistan that is the true enemy of Afghans like him.
“Yes, our Afghan village boys join the Taliban,” he conceded. "But only because they are scared by Taliban threats to their families.
“It is Pakistan that trains, funds and leads them. When we capture their fighters they confess that they are trained in Pakistan. The Pakistanis find religious boys, give them weapons, and send them across the border into **Afghanistan **to kill us, and to kill your British soldiers.”
Villagers grunted in agreement. “**Pakistan **is against Afghanistan, they want to destroy us,” said Mullah Yar Gul, 29, to approval.
They believed that many of the gunmen, who they were forbidden from talking to, were Pakistani fighters, speaking Pashtun with unfamiliar foreign accents.
^^^ Why don't they secure the border form the Afghan side? Its simple, don't let anyone in. In fact Pakistan suggested few years back that border be fenced and mined so no one could cross it except from official points, but Afghans rejected it.

Good ole Cam is sucking up to Indians in the hope for making more $$ for British factories.
How about our leaders and awam?
Are we sucking up to someone in the hope for making more $$ for pak factories, so that our masses have jobs, and health care, and could pay bills?
It is easy to criticize others,
while totally ignoring our own plight.
