    Sad! because its my city?

    Allowing embassies and schools and offices in residential areas was always condemned but who cares

    perhaps security is something that can’t be left solely on security personnel!

    i think islamabad & pindi ppl should be ready for more blasts……

    i still can’t figure out 1 thing……. whenever mush is weak, there is a blast, if u trace the history

    the pindi blast where AMC general died, the lahore blast of FIA,… every incident, when there is a ray of hope for ppl that Mushy is going to hell away from pak….. there is a blast……….

    i m not sure, but i strongly suspect, US & Paki intelligence agencies doing all this, hiring poor tribal men for such act……. so that they can hit 2 birds with 1 shot……. making ppl afraid & keep them @ inside their homes sencondly justify actions in FATA & waziristan…….

    so………. i think, once Mush goes……. everything will go…………

    Mr. Zardari must do a sacrifice……… nation can forget his corruption if he helps the nation getting rid of mush & bringing the judiciary back!!! but i hav a strong feeling that he wont do this………. CUZ, he aint a leader… its just badluck for PPP & Pakistan that bibi died & left this curse on nation.

    @manfromamic

    you may be right…but if you are then it also means that removing Musharraf (though it must be done) will not change much…
    Mush represents US interests…everytime it is threatened, an attack comes..
    If Mush is removed, someone else will become that representative…

    the key is to regain our self-respect as a nation and stop the over-arching policy of being subservient to the US establishment

    i think it is the reaction of a incident happened few days back… when denmark embassy’s car involved in road accident. in which a man was died..

    no investigation held after that even though the info ministry stop the ticker on GEO tv as well.

    How can we expect a revival of economy of our country? Deinvestment is at its peak and with such regular blasts there is no hope of investment in future as well. That shameful dirty Mush will be drinking in his palace as media will be focused more on the blast now than his exit.. God bless Pakistan..

    Musharraf condemned terrorists and took action against them, but Pakistanis complained. Now reap what you have sown.

    These bomb blast are being done by America. Such acts are part of their strategy of creating unrest in pakistan and also for justifying the actions in waziristan and FATA.

    There’s an old saying that if you want to finish off a nation deprive it of a leader. Thats what america has been doing to us since a long time. Everytime we found a leader they killed him be it Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto or Benazir. If she were alive, the situation would have been different.She for the first was talking about things that were in the interest of Pakistan which were NOT in the interest of america. America can’t stand a muslim nuclear state,She needs touts like musharraf to sit in pakistan and work for them. if Benazir were alive, we wouldn’t have had to rely on bookies and black-marketer to guide us.

    I feel we pakistanis are such talented people. Even in adversities, we have been able to produce such great talent. We’re just unclucky for some strange reason. Unlucky because despite having everything, we have never found a true leader who could guide us or a ruler who was sincere with us. I don’t blame the people if they curse their politicians, because they deserve it. they’re minnows. We deserve better than that.

    Mush is probably by far the most donkey minded creature I have seen. He and his comrades are so stubborn that they have lost all sensibility.
    They are willing to drag Pakistan further down as if it has not reached a far too level already. What a pity that we have such leaders who are
    willing to kill and destroy to prove themselves “right”. Most probably these blasts are made by GHQ and meant for the western audience to let them believe that a weakened Musharraf is the direct road to terrorism.

    Why choose the Danish embassy? because of the cartoon crisis and to show the “ugly” face of “Islamic extremism”. Clearly it is an attempt
    to fool people and especially the western audience. If the extremists wanted to attack the danish embassy it would have been done a long ago. Why now? because it fit’s in Musharraf’s plan to gather support from his foreign masters. So that he can have a violent clamp down on all
    forces who opposes him. By these forces I mean the lawyers movement, APDM, PML-N, the media and the civil society. PPP-Q is not amongst the positive forces since they are no threat to Musharraf and thus they can roam “freely”.

    What a low character Musharraf and his gang members have and what a pity that we have so low class leaders, who are not afraid of taking innocent lives to “prove” their point :-(

    @Saqib: I tend to agree with your analysis. Zardari is going to get shot in the face by the ‘establishment’ …

    This is totally for the consumption of the western audiences. Cue pro-musharraf programs on all the “free world’s media”.

    We will stay cursed with these shackles until we rip them apart by force of arms.

    Mushe, Amerika, Israel, Aliens from planet Mars did it….
    Yes, but ofcourse the true followers of a great religion who claim to be the “rakhwalas” of that religion could never do it. Because they are peaceful and god loving. If others can prophecize, i think i can say that this is God’s wrath on people who seem to think that the world is out to get them and they can’t seem to get through their thick heads that there are people around them who are very capable of doing such things…

    All prophocies aside, blame should not be cast until an investigation..Oops, i am talking about Pakistan here….Let me rephrase; All prophocies aside, we should blame the predetermined master mind nexus of Amerika, Israel and Mushe for the blasts…..

    Also, Mushe was involved in the drawing of the Danish cartoons…Long live NS..

    I believe Rehman Malik has a role in this..

    Imagine another blast before 10th June in Islamabad and whole city will be sealed in the name of security. No lawyers/masses allowed into the city or maybe even 188 implicated to counter lawyers movements….No worries for Mush and Az government.

    I may be wrong but………

    I can’t help but wonder how naive most comments are. The easiest thing to do these days is to simply put everything on musharraf. We don’t know for sure who is involved in this heinous crime, but I know one thing for sure that our dear indians would have some part to play.

    Do you people really think and believe that our ‘beloved’ indians are sitting back and relaxing while Pakistan is going through a crisis ?
    I am pretty sure that they must be playing their ugly role as always.
    Now is a perfect opportunity for them to do such ugly crimes and create unrest in our country and scare aware the investors .

    what happen in Denish embessy and in Liaqat Bagh my personal opinion is that its all been done by the Fanatic Barbaric Mullahs of LAL MASJID.

    This LAL MASJID is the source of all the evils what we are seening today.

    in your eye all those saints who preached love of humanity above the spectrum of the religon must be kasffir as well.

    your definition of muslims only include MMA, Mullah omer, Sipah-e-shabah, Jammat-e-islami, Lashker-e-toyba, Jaish-e-mohammad, Al-qaeda, Tablighi Jammat and so on so forth.

    sorry then i dnt include in your definition of ‘Muslims’ then!

    Soon after 911, there were blasts all over the world, such as the Bali bombing. How come there have been no such blasts since then?

    The Bali bombing was a big explosion involving serious amount of complex explosives. Why is it that an organisation was able to pull off such a big attack then but nothing ever since?

    911 and all subsequent bombings such as Bali bombing were part of the same campaign of tarnishing Islam and defaming and criminalising practicing Muslims.

    These blast could well be as a result of Moshe’s policy but in light of CIA’s war on terror they seem to point to prime suspects such as RAW, MOSAD, KHAD or CIA themselves.

    Clearly these blasts will increase the rift between Pakistan and the West. They will have an adverse effect on economy and contribute towards destabilisation.
    They will make it easy for PPPP to retract from talks with groups in tribal areas and enforce American agenda of suppression.
    They will further polarise Islam in the west.

    These so-called terrorist or Taliban are not stupid nor are they anti-Pakistan. Such blasts benefit their enemy America only. Yet no one is exploring this possibility and everyone is intent on blaming this on so called terrorists.

    What is really annoying is that even the so-called free press is not exploring the broad spectrum of possible suspects and beneficiaries of the blasts.

    A lot of people are saying and rightly so, that blasts are not the answer to the issue of blasphemous cartoons but what is?

    Clearly, if not at OIC level, at least at domestic level there should have been a boycott or a demand of a law gains such hate spreading the least. But no Muslim country took any concrete measures since they lack courage so such a reaction is only natural. Although I have doubts against Muslim extremists being behind these blasts

    I strongly condemn the blasts because in essence who have died - only innocent people of Pakistan. Thats not the fair way of protesting against what Denmark has done against Islam.

    We can easily teach these guys are lesson by hitting them where it hurts them most - and that is economically.

    Boycott all Danish goods and that would bring them to knees. But for God sake dont do these blasts because in the end its the Muslims who suffer because of it.

    Yes we can do one more thing - Get this Musharraf out - by whatever means.

    These blasts were done by Indian RAW, Isreali Mossad and American CIA - no doubt about that - and is an attempt to destabilize Pakistan and to make PPP stop from negogiating with these tribal leaders.
