Pakistan ‘created, nurtured’ terrorism: Zardari | Sindh Today - Online News

Check out this website I found at sindhtoday.net

This is a crucial admission and an important point in democratic Pakistani governance, if only because of it'll help build a national conversation about homegrown terrorists.

Zardari: “The terrorists of today were the heroes of yesteryear until 9/11 brought things into a new light,” Zardari said in what he called “a candid admission of the realities” in an interactive meeting with former bureaucrats Tuesday night at the presidency.

“Let us be truthful to ourselves and make a candid admission of the realities… Militancy and extremism emerged on the national scene and challenged the state not because the civil bureaucracy was weakened and demoralised, but because they were deliberately created and nurtured as a policy to achieve some short-term tactical objectives,” he said.

Protest

It's been a while since I walked out of a movie. So long, in fact, that I can't remember when it last happened (although i'm fairly certain I've done it before.)

But now, Akki, Bebo and their annoyingly loud piece of trash (putting it rather lightly), Kambakkht Ishq has done it.

Warning: DO.NOT.WATCH.

A free-lance prototype: multimedia and entrepreneurial

Now this looks like the sort of thing I would want to do right out of college. Work as an international correspondent, wherever they send you, for just enough money that it costs you to travel and live there. Imagine that.

You have to free-lance, and be ready to live with the uncertainty that comes from that, but otherwise, I'm already somewhat of a multimedia journalist, and I'm prepared to go anywhere for pretty cheap, as long as the stories are interesting (and usually, if it's not London, Washington or New York, those cheap stories have to be interesting.

McSweeney's Internet Tendency: Create Your Own Thomas Friedman Op-Ed Column

"Last week's events in [country in the news] were truly historic, although we may not know for years or even decades what their final meaning is. What's important, however, is that we focus on what these events mean [on the ground/in the street/to the citizens themselves]. The [media/current administration] seems too caught up in [worrying about/dissecting/spinning] the macro-level situation to pay attention to the important effects on daily life. Just call it missing the [desert for the sand/fields for the wheat/battle for the bullets]."
