WHOSE FAULT

Read suhailkassim's blog.He had said something about the killings in the world and had asked did we care?everyone said they did, but also i noticed taht they asked, what can we do?
u know what i am not surprised at the state of conditions in the world, not even these deaths shock me.look at ourselves, what are we doing, is BUSH stronger, or are WE weaker? answer is:WE are weaker, bush is not at all stronger than us.we, the people of the subcontinent,have been taught , and brainwashed to fight with one another, and ignore the rest of the world, leaving them to our supposed rulers, and when we see sufferings, we ask what can we do? is there really nothing we can do? we are supposed to be the citizzens of free nations aren't we? when the iraq war had commenced it wasnt the asians who had stood up and rallied out to put a stop to the war, it was the europeans.when people die in kashmir, we dont even know the true no., but we do know the exact no. of people who died on 9/11.we never stood to stop the attacks on afghanistan,pakistan couldnt have done anything because america would have then attacked her, and indians didnt do anything because the problem was of paksitan alone, why did anyone else has to interfere.was it really only pakistan's problem, and was really apksita in such grave dangers?do we really know the truth about the taliban.no becuase they dont have proper media. do you people know that they had caged in their women to stop the 90% of their population from prostitution. they were about to spend millions of dollars to bring french educationist to teach them, albiet their being locked up in strict 'purdah'.we know nothing. we didnt care about afghanistan because the talibans were wrong in our eyes, but we never stopped to think of the millions of other afghanis who weren't the talibans.it's all our fault. we are the losers and we deserve to bear what we are facing in the hands of these supposed super powers.by the way.who has made them super powers anyway? cant we stop being pakistanis, indians, nepalis, bangladeshis, etc. and for once become humans? cant we?well if no, then we have no right to observe these moments of silence and be shocked at the state of the present day world.

Nice post Shafaq.

The "What can we do?" comments on Suhail's post were sarcasm. And not literally indifference.

In any case, there is little we can do to directly affect the result of anything global. In the face of such helplessness, the dejected being says "What can I do alone?"

Anyways, good to see your thoughts. Continue writing. Maybe, this will have some influence to get more people thinking. And then, this would be my contribution of what all can be done.

Yes you are right there is a lot of interesting stuff on that channel but I usaually prefer to read than to 'hear' or 'watch'. Basically what I write is from the books that I read or from the Holy Quran. I have found that atleast to blog, I reaging. :)

Some of what you say makes sense. Defending the Taliban is immature. They are/were an uneducated/illeterate/fanatic lot. Now since you've raised the issue of Aghanistan, you may want to look at what's happening in your own Sindh.

In short, if you want to stop the formation of a Sindhudesh, you must give the governance of Sindh solely top Sindhis. Likewise for Pakistan-occupied Balochistan, FATA, and Pak-occupied Balwaristan(Gilgit-Baltistan)
