I don't care what others here will think of what I have to say. Pakistan has issues with national identity, national cohesion, national security, and its role in the Muslim world.
Pakistan has squandered American military aid, even President Obama has mentioned from the White House podium that Pakistan is "obsessed with India" and turns a blind eye to the extremism that now stages attacks against Pakistani cities.
Pakistan has a secular middle-class, that have failed in my opinion to ensure an equitable distribution of wealth and opportunity to all Pakistanis.
My anti-Pakistan bias is based in Afghan/Pushtun nationalism, where the Durand Line is seen as an artificially-imposed border by the British Raj, a line that divides southern Afghanistan from Afghanistan proper.
However, despite the issues that confront Pakistan, Pakistan is no more guilty of committing human atrocities and violations than any other South Asian country. India does not have a stellar track record either.
If you want to come here and debate, fine. But seriously, your tired "Uncle Tom" comments are getting old.

Hate to say it, but you've got a point, Gustavo. As open-minded and generally easy-going as we are 'round these parts, Dr. Rao's audience isn't here, so he should go find it.
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that I disagree with you guys. The test of free speech isn't the unfettered expression of opinions in an echo chamber of like-minded people. Dr. Rao hasn't broken any community rules (really, there's only two and they're about as loose as they can be), so he's well within his rights to say what he wants - just as you are within yours to call him pompous, Gustavo.
Hey Gustavo,
Can't we stay calm and let Mr. Rao say whatever he want? Simply ignore him. We don't have to agree/respond to his blog/comments. I understand that his blogs are not worth reading and demonstrates his complete lack of sense. I don't spend my precious time to read his blog. As I understand that he is a retired Indian army personal and can not hold himself back and need some time pass activity. If I understood correctly this blog respects freedom of expression, doesn't matter whether everybody like or not.
I didn't mean that he has no right to say what he likes here- it's just that there's little point in expressing one's views on a site where none of the regular visitors are interested in them.
