I never refused to answer this. Infact I did answered that by saying the Pakistani government may have been invloved in this and other terrorist acts, but not yet proved.
Now regarding the antrax-laced letters mailed in the united states, this may have been mailed by terrorists currently slipped into USA who are supported by Bin Laden who is supported by Taleban in turn who is funded and supported by Pakistani government. Thus we reached to the dead end and thus probably to the very source of this terror. Again it's not yet proved but may be.
Trying to change the subject, eh? That's another time-honored propaganda technique, especially when you couple it as you have here with a demand that I prove a negative. You may think you're being slick here, but we've seen oodles of propaganda of varying quality over the years, and your stuff is definitely minor-league.
Again I have nothing to prove here. Everyone is expressing their own views here and so do I. But for some reason you want to question everyone why do they view so? What is the proof? Aren't we also in the same league? extra...extra.. Looks like you want to hear from me that we all should stop blaming each other on terrorism and just accept the almighty fate.
Wrong. You claimed this implicated first Pakistan, and then the Pakistani government. I said it did nothing of the sort, and you have refused to back off your claim.
Again I have nothing to prove here. Everyone is expressing their own views here and so do I. But for some reason you want to question everyone why do they view so? What is the proof? Aren't we also in the same league?
Ah, now the Kumbaya approach. And I don't question everyone for expressing their views - but folks here need to back up their viewpoints.
extra...extra.. Looks like you want to hear from me that we all should stop blaming each other on terrorism and just accept the almighty fate.
Another lame attempt to deflect the fact that your logic is more full of holes than Swiss cheese...
Please read the following abstract between Pakistan's Ambassador to the United Nations, Shamshad Ahmad and MARGARET WARNER from www.PBS.ORG
Internal policy on terrorism
MARGARET WARNER: Now, you spoke earlier about Pakistan and terrorism, and, as you know, the State Department and maybe other critics have in fact charged that Pakistan does harbor terrorists, that your intelligence service in fact armed and trained the Taliban, that you armed and trained Islamic fighters in Afghanistan, some fight with bin Laden, some fight up in Kashmir against India.
And my question is: Is Pakistan prepared to change any of those policies now as part of this global fight against terrorism?
SHAMSHAD AHMAD: Well, I think you are forgetting that Pakistan is itself a victim of terrorism.
We have been suffering from terrorism for years, almost every day there have been bomb blasts, explosions in Pakistan. It is another matter that these incidents of terrorism have never been publicized in the western media. But there have been heavy losses of innocent lives in Pakistan, and these acts of terrorism have been perpetrated from outside. And not only this -- we are located in a geography, which is a region which is volatile, and which has been scene of instability for the last more than two decades. So you cannot choose your geography, you cannot choose your neighbors.
We have been there, and we share a very long border with Afghanistan and a very long and hostile border with India in our East. So all these allegations about Pakistan's involvement in alleged terrorism, they are just baseless and preposterous allegations, which have been made by our enemies for their self-serving reasons.
And I must say here that the other day, I saw on this very program India's foreign minister answering your questions. While I do respect Mr. Jaswant Singh as the foreign minister of a neighboring country with which---despite our best efforts for the last 50 years---we have not been able to have good neighborly relations, although we are doing our best to resumption of a meaningful dialogue----but I must question a couple of claims --.
MARGARET WARNER: So you aren't prepared to say whether you know where bin Laden is?
SHAMSHAD AHMAD: Oh, he's not in Pakistan.
MARGARET WARNER: All right. Thank you, Mr. Ambassador, very much.
SHAMSHAD AHMAD: Thank you.

Clearly Pakistan's Ambassador to the United Nations, Shamshad Ahmad had no answer to Margaret Warner question and he deviated by saying Pakistan is also facing terrorism.
This is not a coincidence that pumacan and others on this post are trying to justify that may be Pakistan is involved. Well I say they are you fools.
When Pakistan's Ambassador to the United Nations, Shamshad Ahmad cannot justify Pakistani innocence. How can you expect pumacan to justify it.
