Greetings from Dearborn MI
A believer in world peace knows no borders.
Your “interference” in Pakistan is as welcome as that of Eqbal Ahmed in US, or Tariq Ali’s in UK.
When student in Canada on a Pakistan PP I relished working on McGovern 1972, and recently on Obama 2008 Campaigns.
Just as every American that I know of cares in his heart for the humanity at large, every Pakistani considers himself as an American, or Chinese, or African. Said the soul of Pakistan, Iqbal (ask a friend to translate)
Cheen-o-Arab hamara, Hindostan hamara
Muslim hain hum watan hay sara jahan hamara.
Best wishes

It is a great honor to be included on this list although there are many others much more worthy. For my part I feel that each Pakistani student and individual who has come to America has contributed to the better understandings between the people of Pakistan and the United States. I always tell them that although we cannot change the entire world we can change our corner in it. The students who have come on the Fulbright Scholarship (and many other scholarships) contribute greatly to the understanding between our cultures by sharing their lives and perspectives. Because of this program I have had the pleasure of getting to know many Pakistani’s and their families. It has changed my own perspectives and in doing so I hope I have helped change others. A few people can make a very big difference when they work together.

Congratulations to ” DAWN ” for recognizing TEN ” GOOD PEOPLE ” who care about others. Citizens of ALL countries should endeavour to rise above petty politics and give good deeds it’s due.
The ” DAWN ” and ALL Pakistani newspapers, should set up a new feature in their City page, recognizing, encouraging and motivating Pakistani Volunteers, who are involved in similar social projects in Pakistan.
Pakistani’s young and old, should immerse themselves in local volunteer work, thus contibuting to their communities. Please do not leave everything to the government.
A great example in Pakistan are the Ismaili, Christian and Parsi communities.

Mr.Kugleman, what about Pakistanis contribution to America or rest of the world ? Us Pakistanis are among the most intelligent people in world, not to mention our sinceriety stems from our strong belief in Islam. Where would NASA or IBM or Google be without Pakistani engineers ? Where would the aeronautics industry be in Europe without us ? Above all, don’t forget that some of the best doctors in west are Pakistanis, so the US and English healthcare industry would be nowhere without Pakistani doctors contribution.

I have nothing but respect and admiration for these gentlemen and women, working for Pakistan, whereas they could have done anything else..
However, what about the one hundred and eighty million Pakistanis and other hundreds of millions of people belonging to the third world who do the bidding with their life and blood for the Americans, just so that their Wallmarts, McDonald Douglases, JP Morgans, Chevrons and Unocals keep churning their billions… ???

Issue is not with the people of cross nation, its about the dirty politics that plays a vital role to demolish the bridges….I hope we all can understand and work together for the betterment of each others.
