Tariq Ali and more comments

Tariq Ali laments on why were the US, German and British forces in Afghanistan not mobilized to save lives after the earthquake

Pakistan will not forget

and more comments from home

'
Things are depressing in Pakistan, media is cashing in as its something new for them. We never really had these channels to cover anything in Pakistan and now we have 5 news channels on the earthquake 24/7. Every wannabe is on TV asking for donation and FM 89 is selling wrist bands to all the burger kids who weren’t already wearing one.

First time, I have seen people come together in Pakistan the way they have now but at the same time people in Karachi need entertainment and sadly all the relief camps are being used for entertainment and poondi. The last place you would expect a relief center to be would be Lecole School in Phase 8.


The Pak-jawans are sitting idle and are not involved in any activities at these camps in
Karachi as Pak-burgers have completely occupied the territory.

Anyway, I think I am being about things. People are really trying and getting together to help and that’s what really matters. We donated a bunch of water, dates, milk, blankets, etc. We hired a Suzuki to transport the stuff the second day of the quake, so the things were still a little saner. We volunteered to Pack medicines and stuff the initial two days, and then it just got too crowded and crazy.'
