"Unsubstantiated ranting about "a review of human misery" does not prove anything."
Hardly a rant. Nor does my judgement of Pakistan's condition need rely upon western media influence/consensus. However, your "insider" knowledge suggests I have it wrong. As such, I congratulate your fellow citizens and you for building a nation and society worthy of emulation right under the rest of the world's un-seeing eyes. How could the rest of us be so wrong?
Oh well. Thanks for setting me straight.
"As currently configured" you have given zero reasoning for the arguments you have made."
Not sure that I need to. Pakistan continues daily to argue my position better than I could possibly do myself, "as currently configured".
"The majority of the violent instability in Pakistan leads right into Afghanistan, where the weapons, drugs and refuge for both the Taliban and Baluch militants reside."
Uh-huh. Sure. You're writing to a former American army officer. Our troops absolutely see the reverse condition prevailing. In fact, about 3200mils differently. I guarantee that the Taliban find no refuge on the Afghan side of the border. I equally guarantee that Afghan opium finds itself magically transformed to heroin in your processing labs along the border. You know that. Guns? Who are you kidding?
