There are different kinds of democracies....there is the Jeffersonian Democracy which is in USA...and there is parliamentary democracy which is practiced by England and most of the British commonwealth....
Democracy can work in Afghanistan provided that there is a weak central government and most of the power is wielded by the provinces
I can understand why as a Pakistani democracy may seem like an alien concept to you.
Just for ur info, as others may know, there are countries and people live in those countries other than USA and UK, that first
secondly, if this is what u get from democracy, ( above million are already dead) what we have in Iraq and Afghanistan, then other form of govts are ten time better, it would be good for UK and USA to mind their own business and does not enforce their models on different countrie...
That is basically what the Pakistani media wants you to believe. India has moved on. India cares more about developing its economy and why would it risk that in a war with Pakistan. Do you really think that India gains with a Pakistan in turmoil? The chaos will spillover to India.
India prefers a stable Pakistan which is an economic partner rather than an adversary.
That is like USA preferring that Mexico is in chaos over a stable mexico. The mexican drug cartel is spilling over to USA.
This typical reply of urs does give the indication that you actually do not have any glimpse of reality about the relationship of India and Pakistan and their respective media, their main stream news channel continously bash Pakistan as if it is their religious duty, ever watched an Indian channel??? and please keep this your non-sense of THIS IS WHAT PAKISTANI CHANNEL WANTS YOU TO BELIEVE crap, in cases where Indian involvement is obvious, Pakistan channels and minister calls it foriegn involvement and not Indian involvment....but i guess you have no idea what media means as you do not watch tv channels, in that case, how can you comment on one, oh yes i know how, this is typical american mentalliy to show that we know everything and infact they know nothing
And focus on what exactly on Pakistan...please elaborate
according to Indians and Indian media, anything goes wrong in the world, and in India it is Pakistan who did it... if this does not elaborate it then, google it kiddo!
How so?
The whole world when they talk about rising economies...they say China and India....
When they talk about global competitors...they say China and India....
Even the well received book, The World is Flat...talks about the rise of China and India....
yes they did call it, BRIC is being discussed every now and then, but Indians with all this rise in economical boom are still living the narrow world, where the only country which exists in Pakistan, may be it is their politicians who want to build their vote bank on politics of hatred or may be it is in their psychology to hate and work continously to de-stablize Pakistan.. whatever the case is, India if continued they way it is, it will soon be out of the race of rising economies... I still believe that if India & Pakistan learns to live like a peaceful neighbours, then this region will become the center fo economy and trade but the condition is tough specially for our Indian counter parts
So you much rather prefer a friendly dictatorship which brutalizes its people over a democracy which is not taking its marching orders from Islamabad?
And do you have any proof that India is funding all these attacks or you just can't comprehend that there are muslims extremists who are launching these attacks and you just use India as a typical excuse to explain the failures of Pakistan
i don't care what they have in Afghanistan as long as it is not a threat to Pakistan, democracy or no democracy, my focus is the land of Afghanistan sholdn't be used against Pakistan, and if Afghans do not know how to control their land then obviously there will be somebody influencing them, I would like a Pakistan influenced govt in Afghanistan...
ok....and while you are trying....most of Pakistan's resources are being wasted on this pointless struggle and the country is not being developed.....brilliant strategy....and then you blame India for pakistan's failures....wow...blame anyone but yourself
again u r not aware of the importance of Kashmir, just for ur info, the land is water rich, many of the main rivers of Pakistan are from Kashmir.. in this scenario, no matter what recources are spent, Pakistan should not giveup its claim on Kashmiri land
so the taliban were an afghan creation? didn't pakistan create them in 1992 and use them to take over Afghanistan to create strategic depth?
I just read a poll in which 90% of people of Afghanistan are against the Taliban...thats why they seek refuge in Pakistan and cannot hide in Afghan cities because they do not enjoy local support....
Afghan people do not support the Taliban...whether you mr.hanibal like it or not.
Taliban was a joint production of ISI and CIA, ISI's interest was to get rid of Indian backed govt, and CIA had its own interest, Pakistan cannot be blamed for the creation of Taliban alone, anyway, doesn't matter what Afghan people want or what American or people of any nation want, what happens is what the powerful group of a particular nation wants... Taliban are conrolling almost 70%+ area of Afghanistan and this is after 8/9 years of Nato presence and immense use of fire power... what is next...
The solution of Afghan problem is simple, and Zardari and said it all, please google if you are interested..
