Everybody loves Dr Strangelove…

Pakistan to US: We have nukes, don’t mess with us.

India to Pakistan: We also have nukes, but we allow you to mess with us, don’t we?

China to world: Nukes gaye tel lene, we’ll mess with who we please.

Russia: We have thousands of nukes and nobody even notices us anymore.

Britain & France: What about us, we’re invisible nuclear powers too!

Israel, North Korea, Iran…: Me too! Me too!

US: Bachha log jhagadna band karo. We rule the world without using a single nuke.

(Hiroshima and Nagasaki happened in the last century).

Japan: Besharmo, ek nuke ka kya asar hota hai, koi hamse poochho!

Terrorists: Bhagwan ke naam pe ek nuke dede re baba.

Moral of the story: Everbody loves Dr Strangelove and they have learnt to stop worrying and love the bomb.

Decoding the Wall Street protests…

Styles of government…

∙ First there was Monarchial Dictatorship….

People revolted and that became a minority.

∙ Then there was Religious Dictatorship….

People shook that off too and its impact has lessened.

∙ Then came Ideological Dictatorships like Communism….

The sham was exposed and they’re on their way out too.

∙ Also on the decline are things like Military and Aristocratic Dictatorships…

∙ While a majority of countries in the world have democracy today (the Economist Democracy Index lists only about one-third of the countries of the world as authoritarian regimes)…

…there’s still Economic Dictatorship (another name for the way Capitalism is practiced today)…

The people have finally risen against that and best of luck to them!

The truth about the ISI…

If the ISI is declared a terrorist organization by the US…

ISI: But I report directly to the Pakistan Army Chief!

Pakistan Army Chief: But I report directly to the Pakistan President!

Pakistan President: But I report directly to the US President!

US President: Hey! But I report directly to… no-one!

Terrorism always comes to a full circle as the buck always stops at the desk of the US President…

The curious case of Pakistan…

When we were small, we learned that Pakistan was named in the following manner…

P-Punjab, A-Afghan Province or North-West Frontier Province, K-Kashmir, S-Sindh, and istan-Baluchistan.

But today Pakistan’s identity seems to be defined by…

P – Pakistan occupied Kashmir

A – Army

K – Kalashnikovs and terrorism

I – ISI

S – Secession of Bangladesh

T – Taliban

A – America

N – Nuclear threat
