		<description><![CDATA[Canadian citizens of Pakistani descent are beginning to wonder whether it’s worth it to marry people from back home. A friend of mine, Najma, recently expressed her displeasure at the Canadian immigration system pertaining to spousal sponsorship. As a Canadian citizen of Pakistani descent, she was faced with two options that would allow her husband to live with her in Canada. He could either obtain a visit visa, which would prevent him from working there, or he could wait up to a year for his immigration to come through.

The Pakistani military through its own channels has shared evidence with the U.S. military about Indian support for terrorism in Pakistan&#8217;s tribal belt and Swat.
The evidence was embarrassing for the Americans because they have been defending Indian presence in Afghanistan and have also been defending the opening up of Indian consulates in areas close to the Pakistani border.
More embarrassing for the Americans is that besides some ...]]></description>

I ended last Sunday&#8217;s article, &#8220;Who killed Benazir?&#8221; with the promise that, &#8220;Perhaps I&#8217;ll continue with this next week because there&#8217;s so much to tell, unless something happens &#8211; which is well within the realm of possibility &#8211; that demands more attention.&#8221; Well something did happen, to wit President Obama&#8217;s seminal speech in Cairo to what is euphemistically called &#8216;the Muslim World&#8217;. It demands attention, but also requires consideration, not a knee-jerk article written in a couple of days just to show that I recognize the importance ...]]></description>

More than twice as many &#8212; 46 percent &#8212; have an unfavorable view.

Former prime minister of Pakistan Benazir Bhutto was assassinated on the orders of the special death squad formed by former US vice-president Dick Cheney, which had already killed the Lebanese Prime Minister Rafique Al Hariri and the army chief of that country.
The squad was headed by General Stanley McChrystal, the newly-appointed commander of US army in Afghanistan. It was disclosed by reputed US journalist Seymour Hersh while talking to an Arab TV in an interview.

Hersh said former US vice-president Cheney was the chief of the Joint Special Operation Command and ...]]></description>

A quick text message from your personal phone sends in a $5 donation. This is in addition to the $100-million U.S. government aid package Clinton went to the White House to announce on Tuesday.

America was never like this before but the problem is that new interests could be developed by the course of time.
At the Foreign Press Centre and the White House, Hillary Clinton said ‘it is fair to say that our policy towards Pakistan over the last 30 years has been incoherent. I don’t know any other ...]]></description>

&#8220;I don&#8217;t want to engage in hypothetical around Pakistan, other than to say we have confidence that Pakistan&#8217;s nuclear arsenal is safe; that the Pakistani military is equipped to prevent extremists from taking over those arsenals.

It indicates clearly how interested is America in our nuclear program and How desperately it is waiting for Taliban rule on Pakistan. This American dream has been shattered by Army operation called RAH-E-RAAST.
American intelligence sources say the military&#8217;s chief terrorist-hunting squad has units operating in Afghanistan on Pakistan&#8217;s western border and is working on a secondary mission to secure foreign ...]]></description>
