"The world" isn't concerned with anything unless the blame can be put on the U.S. or Israel.

Seems like it.

But Pakistanis are human beings too. And they didn't start it, the Taliban did.

I'm surprised the US hasn't been blamed for this yet, at least not to my knowledge. It's only a matter of time though.

As long as Obama is President no civilian deaths in any conflict the US are involved in will be your fault.

...

obama was saying that we must root out taliban from pakistan, and that since the pakistany government is not cooprerating, we should just do it anyways and if needed invade pakistan ourselfs to root out the taliban.. Go rewatch the third debate.

So from promises of going to war with pakistan just to root out the taliban within its borders, to not aiding them against such an invasion is a really large and far reaching step. Damn that guy is such a failure as a president.

PS. to be frank, i consider it another broken promise by obama. A quite major one at that. I was hoping he will not start a war with pakistan to root out the taliban, but now the taliban are out in the open trying to take over the country and he isn't assisting them.

I hope "the World" (aka the US, UK, and Australia), are prepared to do something if a nuclear Pakistan falls to the Taliban and Al Quada.

don't worry, they have prepared a firm statement and a story that somehow blames this on bush.

oh who am i kidding, they will celebrate it as a great move towards "equality" and demand / declare further disarmaments of the western powers.

I just think it's interesting to observe the different reactions of the world.

When Gaza starts a war with Israel and Israel fires back, the world is upset and sends billion of dollars to rebuild Gaza.

But when Pakistan starts a war with the Taliban and the Taliban overruns Pakistan, the world is silent.

Nobody cares about Pakistan. They are not Arabs. The world only cares about Arabs. Why?

because all cultures are equal, therefore the failure of islam can only come about through their explotation, through the bigotry of others, and through their oppression.

Their failures and evil is positive proof that they are being oppressed and exploited.

To liberals that is, which are most of the western world. The rest of the world... well, if someone came and started preaching about veganism, would you try to explain basic biology to them or would you just roll your eyes and keep quiet?

Then you have the minority in the western world of intelligent and responsible people who care... and they are labeled potential terrorists by their governments (any gun owner in britain, any republican in the USA accord to napoliatano, the head of the department of homeland security) and are not exactly seen as the voice of the people.

We care leuki, and we are the ONLY ones who cares.

It's funny because the left used to be all about some cultures being better than others.

In the old days your left-winger was convinced that 1. some societies are better than others, 2. socialism is a better society, and 3. all societies should become socialist. That MEANT something back then.

Interesting you rush to racism as the cause, but I don't think that's the reason. If you declare Pakistan a failed state, you basically say India is right. Remember both governments hate each other and both are nuclear armed. It's not a matter of an alleged bully state (as Israel is sometimes perceived) but two massive brawlers, one of whom is dying quickly and might just reach for the red button in its death throes.

In addition Pakistan was encouraged to harbour terrorists in its northern reaches in the 1980s, for various geopolitical reasons that no doubt seemed completely valid at the time. Now that it's coming back to bite the non-communist world I'd say there's a fair bit of embarrassment about talking about it at all.

In summary, it doesn't get as much press because a) Pakistan is a serious nuclear war risk and b ) everyone knows who's a contributory factor here and no one wants to admit any amount of responsibility by speaking out about the problems there.

Why is this specifically Australia's problem? The US and the UK are major causes of the current Pakistan situation, so I can understand them having a major role to play, but I don't see why Australia has any responsibility. We're over there because our larger, more powerful allies are incapable of thinking further than the next election and our government sees slavish obedience to US foreign policy as a must for ensuring Australian sovereignty.

Caring is doing, taltamir. What have you done for Pakistan's forgotten millions recently?

EDIT: Can I just say how annoying it is that b ) is a smiley? What does this actually add to anything?

I am not declaring Pakistan a failed state. I am merely declaring it a forgotten state.

And India has nothing to do with this.

Gaza harboured terrorists too. But that doesn't stop the world from crying and paying when something happens to the poor people there.

I'm also not sure if the Mujahedeen were strictly "terrorists". They did fight the Russian military after all. I don't know enough about that conflict to judge strategies.
