Do you have a specific feel for each time you hear the national anthem, or one overarching experience for the song no matter where you hear it?

I suppose either way. The reason I ask is that it is an example of a standard tune with infinite iterations. Hearing it by a certain crowd versus a single singer, etc... I just wonder if each new rendition gives a new experience, or if the same tune means that each time he hears the song it affects him the same.

So, then, do the people who view the Taliban as resistance fighters against the US support their attacks on the Pakistani state? Do people see the Pakistani state as a US ally, as representative of the people, or somewhere in between?

I'm curious as to what the sentiment is towards the Pakistani government. The government fights insurgent groups when they threaten its rule but capitulates to them if they're just using Pakistan as a base to strike into Afghanistan. Is the Pakistani government seen as an enemy or an ally of the people of the Swat valley?
