Good on you Tariq Ali. Economic terrorism is acceptable (EU austerity, The IMF and World Bank, the WTO etc) but a bunch of men who need to feed their families and have all the fish stocks stolen by Spanish trawlers so resort to piracy (Somali fishermen) are called pirates and a film with Tom Hanks is made... One example amongst many of men taking up arms as an absolute last resort when their right to live a decent life is trampled. I wish people could see this. I'd certainly become a resistance fighter if I had to (I live in south-west France which was under German occupation during the second world war and each year there is a ceremony in my small town in memory of the Jews who were betrayed and sent to their deaths). So to the murderous occupier I'd be a terrorist, for wanting to free my country. It's all spin: one person's terrorist is another's freedom fighter.
^^ Same-same. Same tune. The gloss voice of the Pakistani military-agri-nuclear industrial complex, your tax money at work. Tell us about topic # 1 Tariq: Do us all a favor, tell us your strategic insights into the vile and obnoxious nexus of Pakistan's elite with the terror business, no really? Never mind other things.
TheLoyalOfficer Both of you chinless idiots give credence to the speculation that the internet is filled with the dregs of society. Take your Islamophobia somewhere else please. Good day.
Brilliant presentation!
Tariq Ali, Brilliant as usual!

I can't seem to find Gen. Petraeus' remark about the unwinnable Afghan war, in what interview is it?
Very true
Arrest this man.
Mr Kurt, Absolutely wrong. Kashmir can be decided by bilateral agreement as agreed in Shimla pact. US and India and friend not allies.
Lost the theme of the topic. Blubbering away anything and everything
Try paying attention maybe?

His casualty figures on Iraq are way overblown.
Saumitra Debnath Well said. I wish others would realize the truth!

yonis gure So there is nothing to be afraid of with Islam?
I trust you're a Hindu.
Looking back at this comment is actually amazing. The death toll is much worse now . If anything Tariq Ali was being conservative.
Nice points though... You don't tell us what the alternatives would be in f.ex. Afghanistan & Japan
