February’s B-side goes beyond the constant headache of Afghanistan and brings into focus Pakistan-India relations. Kashmir is king in the B-side as it should be more often. False accusations that border on deliberate lies against Pakistan are tackled too, and tackled head-on with February 2010’s B-side contents including:

January’s B-side is the first of a new year and of a new decade, yet its focus remains on issues historical, issues that have plagued Pakistan for decades. The two A’s of America and Afghanistan remain the key focus for Pakistan as we enter 2010, a year in which the Obama surge is expected to [...]

August’s B-side includes an alternative look at Afghanistan by narrating the story of an Afghan heroine, one Malalai Joya.

The final article looks at Pakistan’s power and energy problems [...]
July’s B-side includes an article by David ‘Pakistan will fall in six months’ Kilcullen and focuses on his prescription for solving Afghanistan.

June’s B-side continues in the same vein as those of April and May with its twin focus on US-Pakistan relations albeit in a new context looking at Uncle Sam’s fascination with our nuclear arsenal. The second focus remains Lucifer’s litter namely the Taliban and their evil.
