China threatens retaliation over Taiwan leader’s Japan visit
"BEIJING: China Tuesday blasted Japan for allowing a visit by former Taiwan President Lee Teng-hui, threatening retaliation while bracing for new trouble in the form of a planned Japanese trip by Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama. Lee Teng-hui, who was president of Taiwan for 12 years until 2000, on Monday began a week-long visit to Japan despite protests by China which was furious that Tokyo allowed the trip by the pro-independence politician. “We are following the development of the situation closely and we reserve the option of taking further measures,” foreign ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao told a regular briefing in Beijing. When Lee last visited Japan in April 2001, Beijing reacted by cancelling a visit to Japan by its then-legislative chairman and former premier Li Peng. afp" Home Foreign

"Pakistan is still one of the countries with the lowest budgets in the world for health. It is also one of only six countries in the world that have not eradicated polio. Improvements regarding many other diseases (including HIV/AIDS) haven't been that great either.

There is much good news happening between Indo-Pak relations. Even within the individual countries, there is much happening. Why do we not hear of such things? Because they are good. There is no blood and guts. Do we care of such things? Of course we do, yet the MSM decides what we are allowed to know. I, for one, am glad they hate bloggers. We reveal what they are lacking and/or lying about. My, what a sad, sad shame, but you won't catch me shedding not even one tiny tear. It is their doom to hate America. The land that gives them the freedom to do so, and the land that absolutely adore. God bless everyone. Are you offended? Get over it. You have no right not to be offended. Now, everyone have a nice day, and play nicely. Hehehe.
