(Dog Rescues Woman, 65, From Cranky Kangaroo", July 20th, page A8). The number is sufficient; no subjective (and to some, pejorative) interpretation of that number needs to be added.http://www.publishaletter.com/readletter.jsp?plid=2295Dear Editor: Pakistan, India and Balochistan have higher prevalence for malnutrition than certain other Asian countries and are likely to development by 2015.these three countries re the biggest states of South Asia but have yet failed to render even the basic necessities to their people, have yet failed to render the democratic system even once since their birth. What are the reasons for their failures when countries like china, Singapore and Malaysia have achieved the phenomenal progress in few years so why not they. The prosperity and dignity of a country depends upon two factors firstly 'The Sense Of Right Priority' which lies with the peoples to opt the right leader when they are given the opportunity and then follow him devotedly, secondly 'The Sense Of Pragmatism' which I think is the momentous factor of democracy. A leader should be pragmatic he must set some goals and objectives to bring prosperity and he must also know how attain them Now the question is why these three Malaysia, Singapore and China have done so well while the three Asian countries have done so badly. The difference lies in the quality of leadership. The first three found strong and dynamic leadership who possessed the essential traits for taking nation to the height of progress while the latter three lacks in this respect. The historical scenic of Pakistan, India and Bangladesh is analogous, their history starts hopefully but unhappily ends instead Pakistan has even more tragic. We (PAKISTANI) never negotiate to learn from our past rather we boldly reiterate the same mistakes. The present scenario of Pakistan resembles with 1953. After the fifty three years of dismissal of KHAWAJA NAZIMUDDIN Pakistan seem to be at square on a general rules the country while the Prime Minister is imported from abroad without any power base in the country, goes through the motions of the government. The mission of ms Benazir Bhutto was to provide 'bread and butter' and 'living' to the people for which she shed her last drop of blood happily but after her assassination (PPP) had overturned her mission. Pakistan is among those countries on the map of the world whose 75% of the land is fertile and is rich in natural resource but in spite we are facing escalating in prices of oil, electricity, gas and food items which is regrettable and profound too. Premier SYED YOUSUF RAZA GILLANI pledged the nation that his Govt will resolve all the issues within 100 days for which he got the highest votes because he was the last hope of the destitute and impoverished but as much days are being passed as much country is being deteriorated. Pakistan touched the record in petroleum prices, subsidy in economy and in may other factors. These censorious conditions and act of prudence on the part of Govt compels and contrives us to proclaim ' OUR PRESENT WAS BETTER THAN OUR PAST' But obviously those who have been ruling this country will never change into reformed leaders voluntarily. The people will have to do something BY:KASHIF ALI SHAIKHhttp://www.publishaletter.com/readletter.jsp?plid=2292Dear Editor: MPs, who deliberately abstained from voting on the Confidence motion moved by the Prime Minister , should be debarred from voting in the Lok Sabha during the remaining period of the present Lok Sabha. Those who have no view on a public issue do not deserve to represent the people in the Lok Sabha. This subject should be posted for national debate through the media. Non-functioning MPs are avoidable liability for the country.http://www.publishaletter.com/readletter.jsp?plid=2294Dear Editor: Who fights our Wars? With the military front and center in presidential politics, now may be the time to ask, "Who are the men and women fighting our wars?" As a veteran, I recently asked myself that question and found some interesting answers. For more than 35 years, the majority of men and women serving the nation during peace time and war are Republicans. Since the end of the draft in 1973, an overwhelming percentage of recruits and officers identify themselves as members of the Republican Party. Best estimates were 85% from ?74 to ?80; 82% from ?81 to ?90, and 77% from ?91 to 2000. Since 2001, the percentage has averaged 65%. Overall percentages are decreasing, but the fact remains: Republicans fills the ranks What is more, Republicans have been overrepresented in ?Combat Specialties,? military forces with the highest percentage of casualties (KIAs, WIAs, MIAs and POWs). This isn?t Republican propaganda, but straight from the treasurer of the Denver Democratic Party, Andrew Oh-Willeke*. Unfortunately, the report only heightens the 'anti-war' - 'anti-military' reputation enjoyed by Democrats. What does that mean for us? Consider this. According to the 2000 census, 26.4 million veterans represented .08% of the U.S. population. (By the way, 84% of those veterans (22.2 million) are registered to vote.) That translates into less than 1% of the population carrying the weight for the other 99%. Two things come to mind. First, most of the 1% are Republicans. Second, something seems very wrong here. As a society enjoying so many freedoms won by others, we should be appalled at the disparity between those who serve and those who don?t. Before you make your choice for president, you may want to ask: If less than 1% of the population is willing to serve the nation during a time of war, with a Republican in the White House, how does a Democratic president expect to fill military ranks? The draft, maybe? The prospects are scary. Who are the men and women fighting our wars? Republicans. Look into the issue for yourself. See what answers you find. *On-Willeke, Andrew. 11/01/2006.
