Thats right. And for why that is so, watch from third segment onwards
The end of every foreign war America has waged has resulted in an increase in recruitment for white supremacist and anti govt groups. Timothy mcveigh said his bombing of oklahoma was 'morally equivalent' to the US attack on Iraq.
One Vietnam veteran who shot suspected communists in the US said 'if its okay to kill commies in 'nam, why isn't it ok to kill commies at home.' Or something like that
The war always comes home. That's the cost of empire.

Even better, nab asked broadsheet to go after sherpao. Broadsheet found $3.5 million of his, told nab. Govt used that to get sherpao to join patriots. Told broadsheet to remove name. Broadsheet saw their 20% vanish and sued after contract ended.
Before the judge, nab said 'we never really intended to go after sherpao even though WE added his name to the list. Judge denied this as he pointed out that this is LITERALLY Nab's job and ruled in favour of broadsheet. Basically they tried to act with broadsheet the way they do
With a local SHO. And then too, badly and in a highly amateurish way.

'The art of losing isn’t hard to master;

so many things seem filled with the intent

to be lost that their loss is no disaster.
Lose something every day. Accept the fluster

of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.

The art of losing isn’t hard to master.
Then practice losing farther, losing faster:

places, and names, and where it was you meant

to travel. None of these will bring disaster.

Just heard the most horrific stories on @ZaraHatKay_Dawn from advocate Asiya Minur who has been fighting for rape victims in court for last 14 years. I feel cick just hearing the stories...of police saying 'Aap maaf kar dain, Allah hisaab lai ga' to judges leering at victims and
actually telling them in chambers that it is better to compromise. Of a little girl repeatedly raped by her close relative to the point that she lost her eye and bnroke her arm...and family made her forgive him so that relations would not be disturbed. And so much more.
The fact is, that these people then go back into society and rape again. Because they know they will not be punished. And our society enables this. Encourages it. THIS is what is known as Rape Culture.

Its funny how it works: repress and create dissent. Go after dissenters hard and you end up creating more dissenters and radicalising others, and then in reaction you crack down more and more in ridiculous ways. Best part is the cycle can continue indefinitely.
Until, eventually, there is no longer a contract between state and citizen. And that, boys and girls, is when things get really bad.
But you're too arrogant. Too stupid to see that.

The implementation of Article 140-A is crucial to the future of Pakistan. It states: "140A. Local Government. - (1) Each Province shall, by law, establish a local government system and devolve political, administrative and financial responsibility and authority to the
elected representatives of the local governments." Now there are issues of political will here and so, though am not a fan of judicial activism, here unfortunately the SC may well have to step in on the pending petition of Waseem Akhtar. And if, for example, Punjab implements it
It will add to the pressure on other provinces. Devolution of power to provincial level was a good start, in accordance with the letter of the 18th Amendment. However, the spirit of 18thA demands further devolution, and so does good governance. This should not be controversial.
