My hope is that the Fourth of July becomes a celebration less of the might of nations, and more of the possibility for freedom and friendship for which men and women who sacrifice their energy and sometimes their lives.
I also pray for peace and friendship between India and Pakistan and also all over the world. When will we learn that violence and conflict only breeds more violence and conflict.
It is times like these that test our conviction. Everyone talks of comittment to peace when things are going well, it is those who can stand by that conviction in bad times too who should be admired. Thank you Adil Najam for stressing that it is in these pressing times that our commitment to peace is most important. We can remain commited to peace without compromising on principles of justice, and that is what you have done.
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

@ Akshaye,
Two wrongs do not make it right. As others have stated, lets pray for peace and better understanding. Dialogue is a start and I have hope.
