Without a vision where justice is easily accessible, where a standardized school system will not disappoint, where basic health facilities are available, where peasants till their own land and the feudal lord has been decapitated, where men and women learn skills to become economically independent, where minds are taught to be progressive, to love and further knowledge, to make music, poetry, art, to create, without encouraging and establishing these ingredients and mechanisms, the war against barbaric Taliban terrorism cannot be won. 

With operation in Swat further intensifying and public opinion sharply swinging against the Talibans - thanks to Sufi Muhammad’s public statements against mainland Pakistani constitution – it seems like that all those who have a difference of opinion regarding military operation are dubbed as Taliban sympathizer. This is a perfect example of “Either you are with us, or against us”, a trademark of Bush administration. Imran Khan seems to be an obvious target here, with articles and letters constantly showing up against him with one assertion common in all of them – Imran Khan is a Taliban supporter.

It was hot – very hot – extremely hot. And even hotter for the people who have lived our their lives in the great cooler valley of Swat. I sat with them and talked to them informally having the edge of language – they loved it and they wanted to share more and more. A little girl aged 7, looking at the cup of team said this is not tea its water……she made everyone laugh there. All kids gathered around me and told me that they wanted to play as they used to play in their own land – yes they are landlords

After NS ( 55%) and Zardari (9%) IK is third at 5% among the leaders who can lead Pakistan effectively in current turmoil. PTI's popularity is 3% along with MQM while PML n is 62% and PPP 17%.

This poem to highlight the plight of our elders, our mothers and daughters and our childeren caught up in the conflict, designed in the corridors of Washington Hill DC and our own political failures through years of neglect and discrimination.

By displacing at least one million people, according to UN, killing hundreds & wounding thousands thru heavy bombardment, At last Ruling Elite has successfully established the writ of Government on the houses vacated by these millions of people. Bravo! Ruling Elite.

Ruling Elite committed one of the most barbaric inhuman sins in 80s when the Ruling Elite ill-groomed a generation for a false jihad to kill Red Army & rented out Pakistan’s territory to foreign elements in return of dollars from West & Middle East.

This poem on PTI Chairman,  Imran Khan, and those repeated bans upon him entering Karachi  and finally he will be there soon.

Ruling Elite is not scared of Imran Khan but they are scared of the symbol that Imran khan is carrying; what is this symbol? Let's dig into it.
