‘Showing what it means to be brave in Pakistan’ — the reason why Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Sherry Rehman is on the Foreign Policy Top 100 Global Thinkers list. She is among the only two Pakistanis in the list and the only one in the top 50 (Rehman landed on number 47).

Foreign Policy magazine released a list of Top 100 Global Thinkers on November 28. The top 10 of the list went to Arab Revolutionaries from Libya, Egypt, Qatar, Yemen, Saudi Arabia etc.Sherry Rehman, who was appointed Pakistan’s Ambassador to the United States (US) after the Memogate scandal, makes it to the list for championing the cause of amending the country’s Blasphemy Laws.She refused to back down after the assassination of Governor Punjab Salmaan Taseer and minorities minister Shahbaz Bhatti, and criticism from religious parties.

Rehman says her ‘muse’ is Steve Jobs and she prefers stimulus over austerity. The newly appointed ambassador has picked China over the US in response to a question by the magazine. The ‘best idea’ according to Rehman is “talking to everyone, especially the enemy”, “trade without aid” is the worst.
Nuclear physicist and defence analyst, Pervez Hoodbhoy is the second Pakistani on the list (number 85), for his ‘bold secular defiance’.

Hoodbhoy also, like Rehman, picked China over the US. A US exit from Afghanistan is the best idea according to the nuclear physicist, a hasty exit would be a bad one.

Interestingly, Admiral (r) Mike Mullen also makes it to the list (number 38) for his ‘courageous final act’. Mullen, in a congressional testimony, had called the Haqqani network a “veritable arm” of the Inter-Services Intelligence agency (ISI), a statement which drew much criticism from Pakistan.

Former US Ambassador to Pakistan, Anne Patterson is also on the list, tied with four other American diplomats, for ‘writing the WikiLeaks cable that mattered’. In her 2009 cable, Patterson had said US policies towards Pakistan risked “destabilizing the Pakistani state, alienating both the civilian government and the military leadership, and provoking a broader governance crisis”.

Pervez Hoodbhoy being labeled as a 'Global Thinker' is like calling Obama a 'man of peace'. Pervez Hoodbhoy is a nuclear physicist, he's renowned in his work in nuclear physics, he is not a 'Global Thinker'.
 
Yes at number 94

These 'Roys' must be exiled out of India and air dropped into the jungles of Papua New Guinea. :D

Foreign policy disagrees with you.

Yes, the Nobel Prize committee that gave Obama the nobel prize disagreed with me as well.

Haha, we got Zhou Xiaochuan (Governor of the People's Bank of China) at number 10.

Ai Weiwei at number 18. Yu Keping and He Weifang at number 19.

Amy Chua at number 35... for writing a book on parenting of all things.
 
So Nuclear Physicists cannot think? That is another new line now. And said by a "thinking man."

He can think, but his expertise lies in nuclear physics, not in this. Have you even read a single book written by him, or heard of any of his books?

I don't dislike the guy, I think he's a sensible man, but his expertise is not this.
 
Funnily enough, the Indian guy "Arvind Subramanian" made it to the list, for writing the book titled: "Eclipse: Living in the Shadow of China's Economic Dominance."

The book in which he foolishly argues that China is already more powerful than America. :lol: Great scaremongering for the discerning crowd.
