    Pakistan

    Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Khan has been ousted from power after losing a no-confidence vote in his leadership. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-61055210 Thought I'd start a general Pakistan thread.

    Honor killing in Pakistan

    I just heard about this on the BBC World radios broadcast: A Pakistani couple murdered their 15 year-old daughter, burning her to death by pouring acid over her, even as she pleaded for mercy. Her crime? She looked at a boy as he rode past on a motorcycle. That's right. You didn't read it wrong...

    Kashmir hostage conspiracy theory

    Just came across this article in Bloomberg. It struck me as too diabolical to be true, but that's just a gut reaction. Does this seem plausible? Kashmir Is Killing India’s Military and Democracy Any thoughts?

    CNN has been speculating about a possible coup in Pakistan after an article about one of the defense ministers being prohibited from leaving the country: http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE5BG2T920091218 Pakistan is denying this, claiming the minister was being detained for a "corruption"...

    Pakistani Intelligence Behind Kabul Bombing of Indian Embassy?

    If this is true, it's going to be a very explosive situation. Heck, even if it's not true, the report itself is going to raise tensions.

    GAO: United States Lacks Comprehensive Plan to Eliminate AQ Safe Haven in Pakistan

    The actual report (pdf) is titled: I just can't understand it. We did get attacked by Al Qaeda on September 11, 2001, yes? And a few other times as well, right? And they've attacked a few more countries as well. And they were almost gone a year after the September 11th attack. And now...

    U.S. (Bush etc) Bamboozled by Pakistan

    Should we support a nuclear strike on Pakistan?

    I think the present government in Pakistan is illegal and needs to go. We need to remove ANY aid from them NOW. And we need to disable their nuclear capability at the same instant. And the only way to do that is one or two LARGE nuclear weapons on their stockpile and their production...

    Apparently you can't actually just shoot your mouth off in a way that sounds good on message boards in the real world, if you want to get elected. Or at least not without international, political ramifications.

    Homeopaths in Pakistan: Psychics too now!

    I was recently directed to a certain homeopathy forum in Pakistan where I was told a lot of the nutters and kooks we encountered on the NCH forum hang out. First time I go there, this is what shows on the page displayed: Now this is indicative to me of something rather tragic. Namely that the...

    Pakistan ISI and Atta

    This appears to be the biggest smoking gun in the whole 9/11 affair. The money man, Mahmood, was having a cosy meeting in Washington while thousands of people died in an operation he funded. He has never even been questioned by the FBI. Very tellingly, the 911 Commision claimed the funding...

    Just another in a long line of Bush's demonstrations of profound ignorance. So why note it? Because he's visiting there. You'd think he could bone up on the basics.

    I blame GW Bush for the lack of aid to these improverished people. Just another example of how out of touch he is with the rest of the world! Where's the Government, the Red Cross? Oh sure, he will fire someone to allay the blame, but this is the last straw. Where was the Federal Government in...
