Pwwwhahaha - is this what passes for independent comment ? It is complete, verbatim US government BS.
Headley worked for the DEA and was no doubt working for US security in the Mumbai operation - which was so obviously not run by the Pakistani tools who did the dirty end. US false-flag operation - again.

I feel obliged to point out the obvious - Pakistan is a Sovereign Nation. The differences in development, culture and the specifics of regional politics, mean it would be very surprising if their security policy meshed well with US security priorities at all, I would have thought :)

The US has bought some Pakistani politicians and bribed/threatened a military and overwhelming security presence there - however, that does not translate into unity of purpose between Pakistan and the US - how could it ? Nor does it mean that the Pakistani people feel anything but hatred and resentment towards the US - well you will keep killing them from a safe height and distance. Funny how people don`t like that….

Good grief; do wake up and see the real world.

THE attack on Pakistan Navy base at Mehran in Karachi has proved once again that Pakistan is facing a self-created monster which is now eating into its vitals bit by bit. The non-state actors who were, unfortunately, promoted by ISI czars for bleeding the supposed enemies to death have turned against their own creators.

Whatever were the intentions of using those private armies at the time of creation, it is very much clear now that the state of Pakistan itself is in danger of evaporating if Pakistan continues to have a soft corner for those marauders.

Pakistan Army, ISI and the nation needs a clean-up. They need to redefine the roles of Pakistan’s major power centres and decision-makers. Their whole attitude towards the security issue and its solution needs revamping. For starters, their foreign policy should be formulated by their civilian leadership and the foreign office and not by military establishment.

The Pakistani civilian leadership needs to take the driving seat in those matters as other arrangements so far have proved an unmitigated disaster. Today Pakistan is like a multi-headed hydra, with several power centers like ISI, the Army and civilian administration. These multiple power centers work independently of each other. The civilian administration is denied any involvement in matters related to nuclear assets, terrorist support, covert operations against neighbors, foreign policies related to neighbors, etc. The ISI and Pakistan Army should be brought under civilian control. This is a difficult thing to do, but essential first step as earlier attempts to bring the ISI under civilian control were rejected by the Army and the civilian government was humiliated by the military etablishment in this attempt. Pakistan is an isolated country in the world today. The Pakistanis are shunned by almost everyone, including their apparent friends. The reason is Pakistan’s constant double-speak and double games on all important security and counter-terrorism issues faced by the world.

Our government, in most part, serves the interest of corporate America. We, the people, just would get lip service. We have been halping dictators one after another in Pakistan since 1952, and the creation of CENTO Treaty, the military pact between US, Iran ( prior to 1979), Pakistan and Turkey. The intent was to creat a huge Moslem buffer zone aganist then the Soviet Union. This Moslem Shield, as it was known to the people of the region as “Kamar bande Eslami), was the brain child of Mr. Brezhinsky, the former National Security Advisor who sold his doctoral dissertation, Moslem Shield against the Soviets, to Ike Eisenhower, has proved to be deadly not only for innocent Pakistanis, but all others as well. The vicious cycle will continue…


The Radioactive Dictatorship of Silvio Berlusconi

 Italy is the only G8 country that does not produce nuclear energy. It has been free of functioning nuclear power plants since 1990 but does receive around 10% of its electricity from nuclear energy generated in France and Germany. Citizens successfully passed a referendum in 1987, one year after the catastrophic Chernobyl accident, that called for the phasing out and suspension of nuclear energy production. In 1987 Italy had two operating nuclear plants and has had four operational reactors in its history. In 2007 while campaigning for his third election, Berlusconi announced his intentions to return to nuclear energy production in Italy as a strategic part of a national energy policy.
