During my stay in Pakistan—my first in five years—there were undeniable signs that militancy and the influence of fundamentalist Islam had grown. In the past, military officers, politicians, and journalists routinely served Johnnie Walker Black during our talks, and drank it themselves. This time, even the most senior retired Army generals offered only juice or tea, even in their own homes.

I guess he didn't visit the Maulanas then like all the US politicians and diplomats do. Our generals are just ignorant infidels, they don't know that all it takes for years of good Johnny Walking and playing the sandwich is a Hajj - which rids one of all sins like a newborn baby!~ Disgusting.

"In school, there could be no criticism of course or subject matter, let alone of the ruling powers in the state. Unconditional faith in the authority of the school was required. It never even occurred to us to doubt the order of things, for as students we were subjected to the dictates of a virtually absolutist system. Moreover, there were no subjects such as sociology, which might have sharpened our political judgments...It seems to me essential to point out these lacks, as a result of which a whole generation was without defenses when exposed to the new techniques for influencing opinion." - Albert Speer (1905-1981).
