Most Pakistanis seem to like Senator Barack Obama , the Democratic Party candidate for President. However, for most, Senator Obama’s “Pakistan Connections” were limited to (a) his rather strong words about Pakistan , including about sending troops into Pakistan, and (b) his choice of Senator Joeseph Biden , who has a long and deep interest in foreign affairs, including Pakistan. Most Pakistanis are not very fond of the first of these connections. The second connection they like, especially because Senator Biden has been the key architect of a new, very generous and quite sensible support package for Pakistan .
It turns out, however, that Barack Obama may have slightly deeper and more personal connections to Pakistan . But, frankly, only very slightly deeper and only very slightly personal.
First, there is the story circulating around that Barak Obama’s mother lived in Pakistan for five years. It is quite cle...

From a reader:
While some are looking for confirmation whether Mrs. Jopek had asked Senator Obama to stop wearing (or using it) her son's wristband, what all are ignoring is Sergeant Jopek supported the mission in Iraq and died supporting a cause he believed in. That is Obama's greatest shame, that he has always failed to say that SGT Jopek gave all in a cause he believed in.
Yet that is just like what the liberal media failed to say when they propped up Cindy Sheehan. No... more
Fact Checking the Debate
by Mike Krumboltz
Last night’s debate provided viewers the chance to see the two presidential candidates talk turkey on a variety of issues. It also gave voters the opportunity to see if Senators Obama and McCain knew the difference between fact and fiction. A slew of sources within the Buzz examine whether what each candidate said was actually, well, true.

Make no mistake, the election of Barak Obama as 44th president of the United States represents the counterbalance that threatens to capsize the West and cast us all into the murkiness of, as Churchill might call it, a new Dark Age. Not only does his inexperience pose a serious and ominous threat to the safety of the citizenry, but his naivet portends to embolden and energize the adversary that threatens our gates. Even his most ardent of supporters stand in bewildering silence when pressed to ... more

I am a strong believer in the saying that a photo is equal to thousand words. Over the past 2 weeks I saw following 4 photos in Dawn which I want to share. They all amused me or affected me in a different way. I would love to hear your opinion on these.

October 8 will mark the one-year anniversary of the horrific earthquake that hit Pakistan and parts of India and Afghanistan in 2005. Much has changed in that year. But not enough.
We at ATP have written a few times about the need not to forget what happened on that day and, more importantly, to not neglect what still needs to be done ( here and here ). We should have done more. Whenever I look at this picture, this child’s eyes seem to be saying to me: ... more
