    7 Deadly Scenerios Analysis

    In his book, 7 Deadly Scenerios, Andrew Krepinevich, explores a wide range of non-conventional sources of threat to United States security. Of these, threats he dedicates a chapter to Pakistan’s political and socioeconomic failures. Pakistan, reeling from the assassination of its president on Feb. 24, 2013, faced a week economy, strained relations with India, sectarian conflict, and a fragile democracy. As the government slowly lost its credibility and control on its people, the Loyalist army leaders attempted to impose control and order per their orders. This time they faced a problem – “they had to contend with Islamist elements within the armed forces, led by a clique of young colonels and a few junior generals, who command perhaps a third…

    Nixon And Kissinger-Partners In Power Case Study

    The tilt towards Pakistan in the Indo-Pakistan war was yet another foreign policy blunder. Seeing the conflict as more an extension of the cold war, with Pakistan and China pitted against India and Russia, than a regional conflict, the White House lined up with the Pakistanis and Chinese as a means to foster the opening to China and inhibit Moscow’s reach for hegemony in…

    Taliban Argumentative Essay

    By the fourth year of President Obama’s presidency, he wanted to negotiate with the Taliban. There was no other way that the United States could prevent from Afghanistan going back to a civil war without negotiating. However, one individual didn’t think that a stable Afghanistan was essential. Richard Holbrooke believed that a stable Pakistan was essential. He believed that Afghanistan could fall to the Taliban and that would be a black mark on American diplomacy and the military similar to the fall of Saigon in 1975 during the Vietnam War (Sanger, 132). Strategically, Holbrooke believed, that this would mean very little. However, if Pakistan fell to the Taliban, the nuclear weapons would be possessed by them and this would be a huge problem…

    Methods to Counter Terrorism

    The U.S. government says democracy is necessary to inoculate Iraq and Afghanistan against the return of dangerous regimes that oppress their people, support terrorism and threaten peace. At the same time, Taliban and al-Qaida forces displaced from Afghanistan are finding refuge and a place to regroup in neighboring countries, which sided with the United States after the Sept. 11 attacks. Especially, for the last two decades and aftermath of 9/11 tragedy, the major challenges are in the form of deteriorating law and order, ethnicity, religious extremism, sectarianism, weaponisation and economic degeneration. There is a dire need to address this menace so that we can stand as a country that is trouble free and respected in the world. The increasingly unstable situation in Pakistan demonstrates that terrorism will continue to flourish until serious democratic reforms are undertaken there as well.…

    Drone Attacks

    The ‘analysis’ about the ‘wiping out’ of al Qaeda and the sharp diminution in its ability to target America and Europe is based on the number of al Qaeda terrorists killed by the drones inside Pakistan. As if to confirm this, a meeting took place between an al Qaeda leader and Mullah Umar in the presence of other commanders in which the al Qaeda representative was quoted as appealing for help for more attacks by allies in Pakistan. Pakistan’s wrath against the CIA after the Raymond Davis case in Lahore early 2011 had brought the US-Pakistan quarrel to a boiling point. Since then, and since the May 2 attack that killed Osama bin Laden, the relationship has been hurtling downhill, ending in Pakistan’s decision not to attend the Bonn conference on Afghanistan. This would then lead to many arguing that with this all as a backdrop, how Pakistan could possibly be cooperating with the US on the drone…

    Afghanistan: Who Is to Blame? (Editorial Analysis)

    The turmoil in Afghanistan is getting worse with each passing day. Terrorists control many parts of the country. As a result, the Afghani people live in constant fear. In efforts to assist this struggling nation, the US and NATO have tried to strengthen the Afghani national forces. Unfortunately, very little real progress has been made toward securing a solid Afghani government.…

    Examples Of Political Constraints Between Pakistan And Afghanistan

    Relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan are hostage to the legacy of historical discord on the, “Durand Line ” drawn in 1896 by the then British Government and was inherited by Pakistan as a border between the two countries. This had not been accepted as permanent border by many factions in Afghanistan and the issue has been inherited by Pakistan. The relations between the countries had been marred by distrust over the geographical divide. Pakistan had been apprehending that many successive Afghan Governments had been fueling the sentiment of forming a greater Pakhtunkhwa state amalgamating the territory on Pakistan side. On the other hand Afghan governments had been fearing that Pakistan was trying to destabilize successive Afghan governments to install favourable governments. During Russian invasion from December 1979 to February 1989, Pakistan provided all the support that was needed by Afghanistan and allies to thwart Russian invasion and also hosted over 3 million refugees. This resulted in good will with the Taliban Government which followed the end of Russian invasion but the situation changed after 9/11. This situation, however, did not last long. The present situation is that once again the relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan are…

    Corruption a Social Problem in Hindi

    Over the past week, the anti-corruption movement led by Anna Hazare has spread spontaneously and captured the attention of a cross section of people globally. While the supporters run in hundreds of thousands, there is no dearth of critics of the movement as well. One of the most bizarre arguments against it is that the movement could damage the democratic fabric of the country. How a democratically sanctioned form of protest could damage the democratic fabric is beyond me. Not to mention the personal character attacks that even the Manmohan Singh government could not resist launching. For many cautious supporters-cum-critics the movement is a massive display of hypocrisy. The very people who are party to corruption (mostly as bribe givers) are today out on the streets supporting Anna Hazare and protesting corruption rampant in Indian politics and governance. Those touting the hypocrisy argument seem to overlook that a person being party to a particular immoral action, does not necessarily imply complete voluntary approval of the action. Would one argue that a prostitute does not have the right to protest against sex trade as he/she is party to it? Most likely not, as the underlying duress that brings these women to the trade is well recognized . The Indian version of corruption, so deeply imbibed in the functioning of the society that many fail to…

    Pakistan's War on Terror Up to and Beyond 2014

    BACKGROUND: The September 11 terrorist attacks on the U.S. in which thousands of innocent lives were lost led Pakistan to join the U.S.-led global war against international terrorism in which Pakistan has over the years made an invaluable contribution. However, with the passage of time, Washington increasingly came to view Islamabad as part of the problem rather than the solution. Most U.S. and European policy makers believe that Pakistan is providing a safe haven for the Taliban and Al-Qaeda. Western media is full of stories about a presence of the Taliban leadership in Pakistan, including of Mullah Omar’s alleged base in Quetta. Since the summer of 2008, U.S. military and intelligence agencies are sharing minimal intelligence with its Pakistani counterparts, instead focusing on drone attacks against suspected terrorist movements and hideouts.…
