I can just imagine the job recruiters showing up at the madrassas, vainly searching for someone who speaks english. As if Westerners would feel very comfortable with having their credit card information processed in Pakistan. Pakistan already does quite a lot of outsourcing. Anytime Bin Laden or Mullah Omar require someone to do work for them, they call Pakistan.

Shirazi: thank you! yes, thank you for showing tolerance for views that maybe diametrically opposite yours...tolerance (and education) is what we need for bridge building... what i wrote (and fervently believe in) is my perception of truth...while Truth is uni-dimensional and universal...truth (with a small t) can be 'personal'...my calling...(for truth) tells me to be critical of myself first....before i can go and criticse others...if at all! it is in this belief that i feel compelled to criticse the rape and plunder of the occupying army....and i feel no remorse or compunction when i go on to bare the modibhais here...the mullahhindus here...the insecuristas hope you understand ..bridge building begins with a tolerant, open and clean heart

"The world economy has always been international." :D Its like Bush saying 'Most of our imports are from outside US". Do I see a president in the making? ;)

Indeed question the message, not the messenger But important questions indeed - if the terror chiefs spent their efforts in employing the jehadis in call centers, perhaps we'd get some real transformation going there Hi, Thank you for calling 1-800-Terror, How may I direct your call? I'm sorry to hear that your virgins didn't work as promised. No - you only get 72, and no you cannot take credit for someone else's actions

Temporal: I thought we are trying to build a bridge here. You are entitled to your opinion, but I don't accept what you say. Rather, I protest.

Shirazi: i will say it kindly...please pay special attention to how you organise your thought flow in places it appears as if you are mixing up out-sourcing with colonisation...khair that is small potatoes as compared with this: Pakistan has always been a frontline state to fight terrorism but ironically the image of the country in the world media is not very helpful either. at the risk of perhaps shocking you and a few other gentle souls let me say this: Pakistan has not always been a frontline state to fight terrorism but.... also a direct and indirect exporter of terrorism ... and ..not only that but the state directly and indirectly employs terrorism against its own population...(i can furnish a list if you want) yes, serious charges, but is there another way to confront the shenanigans of the occupying army and then you say this: ironically the image of the country in the world media is not very helpful either. may i suggest another word instead of 'ironically'?...how about 'understandably'?
