Screenshot from today’s BBCUrdu.com. BBC’s South Asia section doesn’t have any of these news pieces. Here’s a very functional, uninteresting translation.
- 52 die in 3 suicide attacks – in Hangu, Kohat and Hub
- The family of Maulana Abdul Aziz [killed in the Lal Masjid operation] released on parole.
- Protective measures: danger of suicide attacks, police station gates closed
- Lal Masjid [Red Mosque] will be repainted a different colour
- Inquiries continue into the Islamabad [suicide] bomb [at a rally for the chief justice]
What counts as a civil war? Collective action of one self-declared cohesive body over another? Or is that something that comes later, when we write the histories?
Hell. Hand basket. All that.
Stumble it!

I am afraid for Pakistan. They never seem to learn from History.
in 1971 they made the same mistake, trying to usurp land and deny East Pakistanis their proper place in the union, and look where it got them. You can’t use might to oppress people indefinitely.
