#1 Why don't we see the American ambassador ever opening schools for the poor or opening hospitals for the masses of Pakistan? Why don't they even attempt to win hearts by occasionally siding with the people of Pakistan rather than with our blood-sucking leaders?

Maybe its because you are a completely ignorant, zealous, piece of shit country that has contributed nothing to the world at large except the most extreme terrorism and stone age intelligence.

Cause the leaders are smart enough not to declare war against the United States and lose? [The Germans, Japanese, and now the Iraqis have learned that trick in getting the American ambassador opening schools for the poor or opening hospitals for the masses. The leaders of Vietnam and North Korea didn't learn that one, settling for a antebellum status.]

#3 How would the common man's lot be any worse than it already is?
One way to find out - let the taliban take over. Of course, then it's too late.

#5 Geneva Conventions?

I was unaware that the "nation of Palestine" was a signatory.

#7 Pakistan is a sovereign nation. The US can't simply go in there and build schools. We have to work through the Paki government too. Hence so many of our problems in Afghanistan.

But be careful when you start arguing that things can't possible get worse -- they always can.

#11 Why don't we see the American ambassador ever opening schools for the poor or opening hospitals for the masses of Pakistan?

Maybe because the Taliban considers truly educating and treating girls and women equally unIslamic and the Americqn taxpayers would abhor the idea of funding the madrassas?

#12 Sounds like a tough situation. Suggest you consider mass converting to Buddhism.

#13 Omar doesn't admit that Islam itself has kept Pakistan down but he does at least admit that the terrorists of Pakistan are muslim.

He doesn't acknowledge the terror and discrimination against Hindus that have reduced their numbers from about 15-20% of pakistan (actually w pakistan) at partition to less than 2% today.

#14 same old story. The rich rape the poor and a revolution is born.

Funny thing is that there is a solution out there to this problem. It is a brilliant, God given plan for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It worked well for about 200 years until the "liberals" and "progressives" decided to trash the whole system, just for kicks.

It's slightly different here in the US. The rich get greedy and force the middle class to work and then throw the fruits of their labor to the poor. What the rich always seem to forget is that, when all is said and done, they are grossly outnumbered.
