Harvard Law School thinks Mr. Iftikhar Chaudhry is as great as Nelson Mandela, and certainly better than Mr. M. A. Jinnah, the Founding Father of Pakistan. In a world where political motivations supersede everything, including morality, no one asks Harvard’s directors: If Mr. Chaudhry is so good, how come the great democracy of United States [...]

Someone in the Pakistani government should have snubbed Karzai’s foreign minister when he was in our capital while his forces killed Pakistani soldiers on the border. Here is an irony: Two diplomats – our U.N. envoy Munir Akram and our foreign secretary Riaz Khan – known for jealously guarding Pakistani interests, are shown the [...]

Media Bias: Jang and Geo
URDU JANG’S PRESSURE TACTICS
By Shafiq Khan
The blackmailing, dishonest and opportunist newspaper JANG of Jang Group is once again putting fuel on fire by printing a 30 days ‘countdown’ for the restoration of mazoor (retarded) judges. This is the same scenario when 30 years ago, the same Jang paper ran at the top of its front-page [...]

The Ways Of The Tongue…
Two days ago, my aunt and cousins came over to my house for my sister’s birthday. When it was all over, I drove them back home.
On the way back, one of my cousins was talking to me about Eid-ul-Azha and goats and cows, “…I’m thinking about getting a goat this Eid…blah…not a cow…blah…not healthy…blah…too expensive…blah…you [...]
Standing next to Pakistan’s rising geopolitical challenges, most Pakistani politicians appear pygmies. The federal sports minister boycotts the Olympic torch relay in Islamabad because he hates Musharraf. The new prime minister chooses the same ceremony to lecture on democracy. The Pakistani military is condemned for executing coups. But no one is bothered when ambitious [...]
Pakistan’s military and people cannot and should not allow democracy to turn into chaos. The issue of the restoration of the former chief justice is a farce that needs to be stopped. The return of a group of biased, politicized and vengeful judges is not necessary unless the only thing on the minds of the [...]
“All over the world, members of the judiciary think twice before encroaching on the powers of the government. In Pakistan’s case, judicial activism became a case of overreach. It was practically a coup. The ex-chief of the Supreme Court saw no limits to his authority. His ‘road-show campaign’ had definitely taken on [...]
While there was no expectation from the politicians to be truthful and take responsibility for lawyers violence, it was a pleasant surprise to see Mr. Aitazaz Ahsan show a sense of responsibility by resigning. However, barely 24 hours after the resignation, Mr. Ahsan has started to backtrack and use “conspiracy theories” and “invisible hands” and [...]
For all those who think elections are the immediate answer for Pakistan, here’s an eye-opener. We are not saying this. This is Wall Street Journal. Take the example of Syeda Abida Hussain. When reminded that Mr. Musharraf has denied such accusations - saying he doesn’t assassinate people because he is “not a feudal and not [...]

Who's SAWJ?
I am an Electrical Engineer-turned web developer-dreaming to be a Software Engineer guy living in the largest city of Pakistan, Karachi. I like wasting time on the internet(control your imagination!), watching tv and movies and, if I get time, reading books. I hate broccoli and politicians, specially those who get hair transplants.
