World's worst airport!
Recently I was reading a survey report carried out by a website 'Sleeping at Airports' which classified 10 worst airports of the world having dirty bathrooms, large crowds, bad food, etc. The site's annual ranking was based on tourist surveys that asked about comfort and crowds at terminals, WiFi, food options, and overall cleanliness.
Pakistan's Benazir Bhutto International Airport has been rated as the world's worst airport while New York’s LaGuardia Airport ranked at number 10. Thanks heavens, our airport's name is not in the list of worst 101
In my view, an international airport of a country is a reflection of how developed and civilised a country is. 1 wonder why Pakistan is lagging behind even 67 years after its independence. ProfessorMZahidul Haque

Mysterious space plane
This refers to the report, "Mysterious US secret plane lands after 2-yr mission” (Oct. 19). The space plane flew over Pakistan, North Korea, Iran and China. Was it spying over terrorists and nuclear facilities of these nations? Is it a space fighter from which missiles can be launched at the desired nation on the earth? This possibility is strong, as nations like Russia and the US are reported to be developing space missiles. Is this US answer to Russia developing space missiles? Can it be used to capture space stations of other nations or block the movement of other nations' satellites?
Whatever may be the case, in future, satellites of other nations may not have smooth sailing in space and they can be monitored, tailed, or not allowed to move forward. Inter-continental nuclear-capable ballistic missiles will become outdated, if space weapons are developed as interplanetary missiles.

Are we to suffer forever?
The brave people of this nation have fought hard and made great sacrifices in earning the country's independence. We were oppressed by the British, then the Pakistanis, and we are still being repressed by our own rulers. How sad and tormenting it is for a nation! The atrocities committed by the cadres of political parties, lawlessness of law enforcing agencies and the tyranny of the administration are simply unbearable. When will we get rid of this vicious evil cycle?
