Meh, chucklish.
That's a mightily funny conversation. I want to be head of Sony, if it gives me the chance to be interviewed like that.
I dont really see the problem for Pakistan opening up the country for free trade can only do it good. However in the long term if it creates a class divide between say Pakistan and Afganistan then it may lead to more trouble. However as with all things this mess will take time to sort out, change will be gradual its just up to the UN to make sure everything progresses according to plan.
Agreed, but in relation to the lifting on trade embargo, how do you think this will affect Pakistan in the export sector?
Is there possible trouble with the sudden availability of a free market, whereas Pakistan has primarily been a closed market-sector dealing in local made goods?

Its not an ideal situation that the world is in at the moment, however as long as we can continue dialogue with these governments (even if theyre less than perfect) theres hope for a peacefull solution to the worlds problems.
The same applies to the cricket team going to Zimbabwe, it would be worse if they didnt go as it could make Zimbabwe isolationist and destroy dialogue creating a bigger mess.
Dialogue should always be the first response in these situations.

Didnt say they were, "In Europe"
Ok, I'll leave the humour and stick to socio-political discussions then.
So, what is the feeling of you all on the US Sanctions being lifted on Pakistan in return for their co-operation, despite their continued insistence that the US will not be allowed into their air-space.
A lifting of sanctions, despite the amount of US aid supplied to Afghanistan following their devestating bombing campaigns under the Reagan administration and continued through George Bush Snr's term at office?
