		<description>All of us indulged in trying to imposing our own  viewpoints on others and expecting others to believ blindly in these must realise that the spy agencies, no matter where and for whom they work for, are always meant for destructive and maLicious purpose. It's not a question who did what and who didn't. The question is that these agencies are always incorporated with a rougue idea of inflicting damage to others we think our opponents.</description>

		<description>Myra, Americans aspire - and pretend to be - world cops, but unless it begins to burn their own fingers and other parts of their anatomy, people killed by  shady organizations like ISI in other parts of the world - such as the remote India of snake charmers and rope trick -  makes no difference to them. Like dirty cops on the take they look the other way.
And now you are asking why they are looking the right way now!Well,simply because their own families are in danger now and the dirty money doesn't count for much!</description>

		<description>Dear Friends

I would like to add that the politicians in the White house require us to think that ISI is to be blamed for all that has gone wrong in Iraq and Afghanistan.

I would like to pose a question but don want an answer. I just want people to think about this within themselves.

DIDI YOU REALLY EXPECT THE WARR IN IRAQ OR AFGHANISTAN TO BE SMOOTH AND SUCCESSFULL?

In the time of election the parties need an escape goat but dont worry I am quite sure that another message from so alled terrorist (al qaeda) would help to swing the voters into certain direction as per some require in the white house. 

This happend whilst Bush was running for presidency in his second phase as a President and just a day ago a helpful message for Pervaz Musharaff and in future as Amercia and allies required.

Anyways the only way o end this activities semms to be to reslolve major problems such as Killig of kashmiris by India in their controlled land is not relaistic and should not be able to happen in todays wold.

		<description>[...] A spate of allegationsthat Pakistan’s powerful spy agency, the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI),  was involved in the bombing has forced India-Pakistan rivalry back onto centre-stage. This is not just about India and Pakistan, or so the argument goes. Their rivalry is undermining U.S. efforts to defeat al Qaeda and the Taliban since the ISI is maintaining links with Islamist militants to counter Indian influence in the region. And Pakistan’s denial of involvement in the embassy attack has done little to quell the speculation. [...]</description>

		<description>They have chosen this time because it is ripe now. There could never have been a better time. Its all about taking control of Pakistan's atomic program. It was impossible that the US forces packed back from Iraq and Afghanistan without settling the core issue of Pakistan's nuclear program. So the time has come, fortunately for the US, the public opinion against the Pakistan Army is touching the lowest level in the country. The scenario may have been articulately created where President Musharraf was reassured again and again by the US only serving to drop his, and the Military's, popularity to an extent where a strike against ISI, and thus the nuclear assets of Pakistan, was possible. It should be kept in mind that the total control of Pakistan's nuclear program is in the hands of Military or more precisely ISI.</description>

		<description>Hey Sanjay 
Its my turn to confront you now. Ok, so what democracy are you talking about? What India did in 1971 by imposing a war and flaming conflict in East Pakistan was totally undemocratic. RAW has been widely involved in the terrorist activities in Pakistan, I guess RAW being answerable to the Indian Govt, so RAW terrorism in Pakistan might be authorized by the Indian democratic govt? Do you have a say?
India is widely hated in Sri Lanka that is because of meddling in internal affairs of that country by India.
Nepal can never assert its soverignity over India, its such a small country. Its only Pakistan in the whole region that has always remained a challenge for India.  
The question arises, why does India need half a dozen consulates in Afghanistan? Simply because RAW wants to destabalize the NWFP and Baluchistan region of Pakistan using these consulates as a shield. ISI is an intelligence agency, and cannot allow India to establish spy centres in its neighbourhood. Fact is, ISI remains a force to be reckoned with. You put your own house in order first, your corrupt law enforcement agencies lacking professionalism have failed to protect your people. Why blame ISI, RAW is your culprit. Ask  RAW why is it sleeping while local Indian terrorist groups create mayhem in your cities.</description>

		<description>Moody, why don't you tell me which embassy of Pakistan's has been blown up by India? Is Pakistan's embassy in Nepal in flames or rubble? India often complains that Pakistan's embassy there is involved in sponsoring militancy. While you want to play a game of moral equivalency between the 2 countries -- obviously you don't care one iota that India is the democracy out of the 2 countries -- to ignore the long difference in their track records. Which Indian security agency isn't accountable to the Indian parliament? Which military coup has India had? Which military dictatorship has India been ruled by? You seem to think that democracies and military dictatorships are morally equivalent, but they're not. Democracies behave more responsibly and more maturely, in case you're not aware. I'm so sorry that I have to spell out the obvious for you. Your comments say more about you than about the subject you're commenting upon.</description>

		<description>although i do not support an invasion of Pakistan, i support any action which will curtail the ISI's abilities...it will go a long way in reducing terrorism within the Subcontinent and bringing true democracy within pakistan...RAW has been responsible for troubles within pakistan but it was retaliatory action...not that i justify killing of pakistani civilians but in da shadowy world of espionage there's no room for morals....we all know who gave a start to  this cloak and dagger game which began in 1947</description>
