Mr. Kamran Iqbal,

If what you send is true, and I am sure US policy is about American interests
and interest of its contituents, then still you must answer why is Islam in the
dark ages scince a thousand years... There were no US then, there was no British
Empire then and there definitely was no westeren conspiracy then. Btw, could
you tell us poor netters who you are, ie where from , and why do you blame outside forces, when the inside is ROTTING AND STINKING TO THE MARROW !! 

And in the end, please be just a teedsy bit more specific, regarding Pakistan,
ie ofcourse, if you are someone concerned about things Pakistani ?

Best Regards,
Shams Hasan.
