Abstract
This paper argues that Pakistani government elements have not only done little to combat terrorists in Pakistan, but that Pakistan's intelligence service, ISI, directly gave support to the Taliban and is still providing logistical support to militants attacking U.S. troops in Afghanistan. Furthermore, the paper asserts that the bulk of al-Qaeda's operations are now being planned from Pakistan. The paper argues that while Pakistan may protest at its sovereignty being violated, the U.S. must meet its objectives of wiping out al-Qaeda and capturing Osama bin-Laden, thus Pakistan must be invaded as the country is a safe haven for these terror elements.

From the Paper
"Western powers have comprehensively agreed that al-Qaeda, recognized most visibly by its leader Osama bin Laden, is probably the main driving force behind the most publicized acts of terror in the world. Because of al-Qaeda's self declared war on the U.S, over 3,000 people died in the..."

Abstract
This paper discusses the possibility of a U.S. invasion of Pakistan. The case is made that too many incidents have occurred which implicate the involvement of Pakistanis of all sectors of society, including military and government elements in militant attacks on U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan. Furthermore, the Taliban, al-Qaeda, Osama bin Laden, and other terrorist support structures are widely believed by intelligence circles to exist in Pakistan. The paper argues that this overwhelming amount of information lends to supporting a U.S. led military campaign which strikes deep into the heart of Pakistan even if the course of action means conflict with the Pakistani military.

From the Paper
"The U.S. is embroiled in a multinational operation in Afghanistan to rout the Taliban, al- Qaeda, and other extremist militants. At the same time, Afghanistan is also a nation marked by regional bipolarity. Hamid Karzai is a former Unocal executive and a friend of Condoleeza Rice. His regime has been propped up as a de facto democratic face of a free Afghanistan."

Cultural Differences between Pakistanis and Indians
non-verbal Communication among Pakistani's

From the Paper
"The dispute over Kashmir began since the split and repeatedly brought the two sides into bloody confrontations (BBC, 2009). India accused that Pakistan refused to cooperate with police investigations on the November 2008 attacks on Mumbai. A peace process was attempted in 2004 during which Pakistani militants were blamed for the attacks. But the peace attempt was stalled right the following month. In May 1998, news that the two nations were conducting nuclear tests made the international community cringe with apprehension. The US quickly entered the scene and sanctioned India. More recently, the two countries were said to have improved their ties. They even agreed to share individual nuclear technology. At present, India launches its own satellite, the first one on the moon in 2008. It even runs a large and successful cinema industry, Bollywood, one of the most watched in the world. Yet widespread poverty continues to afflict its rural populace. The majority of its people remain illiterate and poor. They remain oppressed by the ancient Hindu caste system, which fixes the place of each person in society (BBC)."

Abstract
The paper relates that the most significant feature of Pakistan since its establishment as a Dominion within the British Commonwealth in 1947 has been political, economic, and social instability. The paper explains that this chronic instability is one of the most important things to understand about Pakistani history during the Cold War era, for it has consistently undermined Pakistan's internal development towards free market democracy while negatively shaping its relations with other countries in the world.

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that women throughout the world have long suffered at the hands of their husbands, fathers, and other male relatives. Critics of this practice, world wide, state very simple arguments against it: women aren't property, women have basic rights, crimes against women should be treated in the same manner as crimes against men. However, none of these are paid attention to by the majority of the people the arguments are intended to address or indeed even the nations in which they live. The writer presents a description of the problem of honor killings in Pakistan. The writer then looks at the history of such killings in Pakistan and also offers suggestions for the amelioration of the problem.

From the Paper
"Why would a father, husband, or brother kill his daughter, wife, or sister? In some parts of the world, including Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Brazil, Uganda, and many countries in the Middle East, when a woman's family believes that her behavior has threatened the "family honor," killing her is seen as the only alternative. The practice of "honor killing", which is the murder of a (generally) female relative who is perceived to have brought dishonor to the family (which can be defined in terms as broad as looking at a man in ..."

Abstract
In this article, the writer considers the state of the U.S. economy and the situations in Afghanistan and Pakistan. The writer takes the view that Obama is capable of fixing the situation that Bush messed up.

From the Paper
"When President Obama took office he inherited an economy in free fall and a convoluted foreign policy that resulted in negative views of the United States throughout the world. The country faced particularly challenging prospects in Afghanistan and Pakistan two countries which have links to the attacks of 9/11 and to terrorism. The Bush Administration's approval ratings were at all-time lows both at home and abroad and Obama rode the tide of change into office. President Obama just passed ..."

"India is a moderate-sized country with a huge population. Over-population is one of the problems facing India, and data on this subject can be found easily using an Internet search engine. One site that offers a good deal of data is known as Data & Statistics, a site offering data gathered by the World Bank on different countries, and with a specific section on Development Goals for India. The most current data on the site is for 2004. According to this site, the population of India reached 1.1 billion in 2003 and remained at that level in 2004, up from 1 billion in 2000. The growth rate has been slowing slightly, down to 1.4 percent in 2004 from 1.7 percent in 2000. For 2000, the last year with full data, the national poverty rate stood at 28.6 percent of the population."

A paper on the modern day conflict between India and Pakistan and its historical background with a tentative solution suggested.

Abstract
This paper discusses the struggling relationship between India and Pakistan, primarily over the region of Kashmir. It details the history of the problem including the nuclear aspect, briefly discusses other possible solutions, and formulates a unique multi-faceted solution.

From the Paper
"Ever since 1947, India and Pakistan have waged fierce war over a variety of issues. When India completed nuclear testing in May of 1998, and Pakistan shortly after, the issue was given unique attention. Because it s spread alongside India, Pakistan has a lack of strategic depth. The danger is that this means that any war would rapidly lead to the possibility of nuclear escalation. As a result, the task of avoiding conventional warfare between the neighbors assumes increased importance (Swarts 10). Strain between the two States is the effect of a diverse range of problems, including economic conditions, leadership clashes, and primarily religious diversity and territorial contention. The territorial dissension is based principally over the region of Kashmir, which both India and Pakistan claim full possession of. There are allegations that as many as one half of a million Indian troops and as many as a fourth of a million Pakistani troops are stationed in Kashmir. What can be done to prevent a nuclear conflict between India and Pakistan? This is a question that has absorbed more unbroken attention than almost any other news subject."
