1. Congratulations. You have gmail!

2. I find nothing wrong with this Pakistani Activity. I have no complaints. It is just Farhan Bokhari – an eminent Pakistani Commentator – who is voicing the frustrations of the Millions upon Millions of Pakistanis complaining about lack of Education, Health, Welfare etc.

Farhan Bokhari is complaining about Pakistan’s Defence Budget having risen to USD 4.2 Billion. This is Balderdash, Cobblers and Piffle Paffle. Pakistan’s <b>Real Defence Budget in 2001 was Pakistani Rupees 400 Billion (Per Dr. Ayesha Siddiqa – Ex. Director of Naval Research, Pakistan Navy)</b> and with an annual average 15% increase for the FY 2006-2007 it should be around the USD 12-13 Billion Mark – if not more.

I, for one, would want Pakistan to spend as much as India in terms of Defence so that Pakistan Bankrupts itself. The only detriment to India is that once Pakistan becomes Unstable 40-60 Million Pakistanis will “Rush” into India and with the Government of India’s Policies the next wave will double the Pakistani Immigration into India.

This is the only reason for my wanting Pakistan to be a Stable Country.
