I’ll drain a cup of memory potion the next time I confuse Jalalluddin Haqqani with Husain Haqqani

Deep swig of warm, flat Bud Light every time Obama says “democracy”/ “freedom.” To repent for your sins.

Every time someone mentions nuclear weapons, eat some leftover bakra, in memory of our very own sacrificial mad goat, AQ Khan.

Apart from being or having been an instrument of Pakistan’s national security policy, how does the Pakistan Taliban differ from Afghan Taliban? (Even that distinction requires belief that the Afghan Taliban has not been an instrument of US national policy since sometime during the Clinton Administration.)

It’s a lot easier for me to count their similarities (youth suicide based terrorism, Saudi funded Salafist madrasseh training & recruitment tactics, anti Shia pogroms, etc.) than differences. Perhaps you can correct me.

Comment on Stranger to Wishmakers. by Agastya Ikshvaku

Go on, Annie, a penny for your thoughts. I’d love to know what a hysterical mind like yours, clearly full of Pakistani insecurities, considers good writing or ‘acerbic, trenchant’ criticism of Pakistan.

Besides, your explanation that the book is the tantrum of child trying to get his father’s attention is plainly ridiculous. Because Salman Taseer might be a big deal in the little world of Pakistan, but he certainly isn’t elsewhere. And in the dozen or so countries where Stranger to History is published, it is read not for the personal, but for how Taseer uses the personal to explain people like you, Annie.
