The dispute between the Pakistan government and the Army is constantly widening and the government is denying the face off. As soon as the news came that the government wants to remove Army chief and ISI chief, an immediate narration came from Prime Minister Gilani stating rumors are being spread to destabilize the government. If the government’s intensions were the same then it would not have provided General Kyani and Lt. General Ahmed Pasha a service extension, he added.

The power has moved from one hand to another. Earlier the ruler was Hosni Mubarak and now it’s the Army Chief. Few days back, women activist was stripped, dragged and beaten senseless by the Egyptian soldiers. Footage and stills of the woman being beaten to the ground, kicked and stamped on as her hijab was torn off in Tahrir Square have made front page news around the world. Islam which respects women, how can such incident be tolerated.

Pakistan and America relations are turning sour in taste. US president Barak Obama showed his condolence on the Pakistani soldiers who were killed in NATO attacks. But, despite taking any responsibility he blamed NATO. As a result, the Pak government stopped all the supplies to Afghanistan through Pak route, also emptied the Shamsi airport. However, America has not commented on the bitter taste in US Pak relations. USA still consider Pakistan`s support as most important in the fight against terrorism.

After the dissolution of Soviet Union, It was considered that the cold war is over. Also, communist alliance was getting weaker. Russia was strategically strong but was not capable to expand communism globally because of its weaker economic condition. USA became the strongest. But, just 20 years later, the fear of cold war is emerging again and now China is at the place of Russia. Most interestingly, there is no clash between communism and capitalism this time, but a struggle to prove superiority. This struggle is between America and China.

India is putting a high gear to execute its Look East Policy. Recently, India has made an attempt to strengthen its ties with many East Asian countries.

Vietnam`s oil firm Petro Vietnam has signed a deal with India`s ONGC Videsh Limited (OVL), under which OVL will help in oil exploration and extraction in the South China Sea.

In Greece, the birthplace of democracy, the first blow fell last week. The democratically elected Prime Minister George Papandreou, son and grandson of Prime Ministers, leader of PASOK, the Greek Socialist Party, was forced to resign. His sin was to have proposed a referendum in which the people of Greece would be consulted about the severity of the debt repayment schedule which Greece had to agree to.

Hoopla in the US Parliament where the confusion and fear of death loomed so very large that lion hearted leaders of the world were seen pushing, nudging and throwing each other to just get out of the building that controls the world.

Pakistan’s shallow diplomacy has received a major setback. Now, America is all set to review its approach towards Pakistan. Indeed, America has decided to cut off its economic aid to Pakistan. Moreover, America has increased drone attacks to hit tribal regions adjoining Afghanistan. This act has infuriated people against America.

Libya is still in trouble. Indeed Muammar Gaddafi who lost the faith of people is not ready to step down; on the other hand the rebels are fighting for change. Amidst this the armed forces of NATO have joined hands with rebels to fight against Gaddafi. This is indeed exemplary. The biggest question is raised over how much0 military aid by NATO is valid. There are lot of people who think that jehadis have joined anti-Gadaffi rebels and are cunningly manipulating this situation trying to implant radicalism and terrorism in Libya. First nothing such has been seen in Libya and the citizens have defeated the evil intentions of Gaddafi. Second, Gaddafi himself was behind many terrorist acts including Lockerbie Bombing and attack on Israeli contingent in Munich Olympics.
