The move behind the outrage against Denmark over some illustrations published in a Danish newspaper, was not motivated because of some religious zeal - the reason had everything to do with dairy products. People who cannot place Denmark on the map leave alone read a map besides do not know how to read and write their own language - knowing what was written in Danish is out of the question. The milk and dairy cartel in Pakistan was forced to keep its prices at a reasonable level because Pakistan imports a great deal of milk and other dairy products from Denmark. This was done when this cartel tried to raise its prices way back in the 1970s. Now that Denmark is more or less out of the picture the local cartel can raise prices as it pleases. Australia offered meat at very low prices, around the range of Rs 3 per kilogramme, but this was not imported, although several Muslim countries import meat from Australia, after certifying that its halal. Here in Pakistan the price of meat is Rs...

The US started building systems to defend itself against nuclear weapons hitting the USA, during late President Reagan's tenure. It was a huge and expensive operation. The USA applauded itself for going ahead with this programme and calling it a success. However only recently China has successfully tested a missile capable of destroying satellites in space. The US was quick to condemn China for this. Which is ridiculous. The USA says it does not want militarise space when it was th4 one which started it. Commentators said the Chinese would be able to blind the USA by destroying its military satellites which are supposedly protecting the USA's armed forces. If the USA does not want to militarise space why does it have spy satellites and perhaps even missiles which are really orbitting missile launchers to destroy missiles or an enemy country before they are launched. So space has already been militarised by the USA, so if China has missiles which can destroy satellites and ...

The USA is presently at war with three countries - Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia and is threatening two countries Iran and Syria. When the additional soldiers were announced by the USA for Iraq, in the same speech Iran and Syria were were warned. This could possibly mean that the additional number of soldiers along with all the other stuff which is used in war is not really meant to control things in Iraq, it could very well mean that it would be a land-based invasion of Iran and Syria. The USA would be going to war against Iran and Syria at the same time. Now who did that in the last century? Of course now I remeber, when Hitler was running Germany. The Germans occupied much of Europe tremendous ease till Germany was defeated, of course the very territories Germans had occupied were under the control of the Soviet Union - who really won the war? The USA is seriously considering destroying North Korea just because it has nuclear weapons. What does the USA stand to gain from fight...

Way back when the USA was fighting the war in Vietnam, the Hippie movement started. The roamed the world as wandering minstrels, long hair with bandanas, in their torn jeans. They flowers in the hair. "Peace brother!" was what they use to say and would smoke charas. Essentially they were against the war their country was fighting. Wandering Americans - practically rebels, revolting against their governments war-mongering. In those days Hippies were tje friendly face of America, when most people did not know what an American was. The Hippies have vanished. Now Americans citizens are told not to go to a particular country because they may get killed, kidnapped etc. Whoever invented this, demolished the concept of the Americans who do not approve their government's policies to travel the world preaching their beliefs to a world which would be more receptive. Americans are now told that the world outside the USA is a very dangerous place. These are different times. Durin...
