Dear Readers,
While All Things Pakistan has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since June 11, 2011 - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was time to move on. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on ATP. While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful.
We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your Pakistaniat. - Editors

Its always common man and the ordinary soldier who pays the price for the follies of politicians and generals. Did nobody in ISI realize throughout 80’s and 90’s that all these “mujahideen” being trained could become a liability one day? Pakistani generals are strategically incompetent.
Pakistan needs to recognize that our society is plagued with the venom of religious extremism. Unless we come to terms with this harsh reality and let go of bizarre conspiracy theories there is little room for improvement. When terrorists such as Ghazi Abdul-Rasheed are labeled Shaeed it brings shame to the souls of our brave jawans such as Capt.Najam who gave died while fighting these terrorists
Terrorism has engulfed the nation in a trauma, for a 3 year old can decipher what a suicide attack is! We need to highlight the positive achievements of our nation which are quite a few. So we can either go in a state of denial or mourn the past or we could stand firm and support this war against extremism. Hero’s such as Capt.Najam who died while protecting their nation need to be acknowledged and we remain indebted
The sacrifices these young men are making, will not be wasted inshAllah. We are proud of our Shaheeds and their brave families. Yes our hope still exists as there are plenty of Pakistanis like Captain Najam (Shaheed) who are truly devoted with this country.
