OK, it's bad
by kalaresh
It took two professional journalists, filing this report from Pakistan, undoubtedly at great expense to some news organization and at great physical risk to the reporters, to tell us that a suicide bomber attacking the UN's World Food Program is abhorrent? Can't we get a little more background here as to the attitude from the Pakistani Arab street? Can we get some information about the effectiveness of the program -- is food really going to the most deserving, is there some corrupt local politics going on that is compromising the distribution process (as often happens in Africa)? Is the Pakistani resentment of foreign occupation so intense that this is a way of saying that their national pride is more important than food? This article could have been written by anyone with access to a map of Pakistan and a few minutes of reading info on the UN web page. Come on -- if we wanted easily shared opinions, we read the fray. Let's get some real journalism and information going here so we can understand the situation better.

Oh, that would be very unpatriotic...it would harm the troops in the field, dontcha know...telling the world the truth, even in a micro way like you advocate, is a totally unpatriotic act.

America is PERFECT, absolutely PURRRFECT, and anyone who points out any problem is a fascist commie.

Got it? They bombed the UN because they are EVIL, and we are GOOD, because they are Muslims and we are Christians, so you better be a Christian or you are an unpatriot scumbag.

Yarite.

candoxx, you are obviously so anti American you can't stand it. Are you a muslim extremist? I am thinking that must be the case. When are you going to stap on your dynamite vest and set yourself off at your local mall?
