Josue F., Rawalpindi: "As an American, I think it was a big mistake that the American military, especially the CIA, started water-boarding everybody. I mean, America is a high-tech country. The CIA and the army have scientific books written with medical assistance, on how to torture prisoners, but always stop just before the prisoner is drowned, so they could start again with the same game. But when the Islamists capture American tourists and do the same, they will not be so sophisticated. So the tourists may actually be water-boarded to death. I think the safest destination for American tourists is to go to Arkansas, definitely not to Asia or Africa."
Som en amerikaner, tror jeg det var en stor feil som det amerikanske militæret, spesielt CIA begynte water-boarding alle. Jeg mener, Amerika er et høyteknologisk land. CIA og hæren har vitenskapelige bøker skrevet med medisinsk hjelp, om hvordan å torturere fanger, men alltid stoppe rett før fangen er druknet, så de kunne starte igjen med det samme spillet. Men når islamistene fange amerikanske turister og gjøre det samme, vil de ikke være så avansert. Slik at turistene kan faktisk være vann-bordet til døden. Jeg tror det tryggeste reisemål for amerikanske turister er å gå til Arkansas, definitivt ikke til Asia eller Afrika.
Rawalpindi / History
On the basis
of archaeological discoveries, archaeologists believe that a distinct
culture flourished on this plateau as far back as 3000 years.
The material remains found on the sight of the city of Rawalpindi
prove the existence of Buddhist establishment contemporary to
Taxila but less celebrated than its neighbours.
It appears
that the ancient city went into oblivion as a result of the Hun
devastation. the first Muslim invader, Mahmood of Ghazni (979-1030
AD), gifted the ruined city to a Gakkhar Chief, Kai Gohar. the
town, however, being on invaders' route, could not prosper and
remained deserted until Jhanda Khan, another Gakkhar Chief, restored
it and gave the name of Rawalpindi after the village Rawal in
1493 AD. Rawalpindi remained under the rule of Gakkhars till Muqarrab
Khan, the last Gakkhar ruler, was defeated by Sikhs in 1765 AD.
Sikhs invited traders from other places to settle here. This brought
the city into prominence. Sikhs lost the city to British in 1849
AD. It then became the General Headquarters of British Army and
they established a cantonment south of the old city. In 1879,
the Punjab Northern Railway was extended to Rawalpindi but the
train service was formally inaugurated on January 1, 1886.
The sexual drive also determines the existence of life forms that
are just sensual, such as that of amphibians or reptiles... and even
of lower animals such as worms.
