Gangsters Paradise

Karachi, the city where I am these days was turned into war zone by gun men from opposing political parties on Saturday. To be honest, I dont care who rules what in this country, I dont care about the politics. I am only concerned about the apparent worthless-ness of human life in this country. On Saturday, I saw pictures of dead bodies lying un-attended on of the usually busy roads of the city. In contrast when i switched over to the british news channel Sky, they were broadcasting the search for the 4-year old Madeleine McCann, who was abducted a week or two before. Now don't get me wrong I'm not implying that the british media should have been broadcasting the massacre in Karachi, No. Im just highlighting the difference , the difference between the worth of human life in the two countries. On one hand there this is 4 year who is not even dead and on the other hand dead bodies are lying on a main road.The point being that British know the worth human life, they know that if lost it won't ever come back. People compare countries like Britain and Pakistan by their GDP and the living standards but for me its the recognition of the importance of human life. God Bless!
When the crazy gunmen were roaming the streets of Karachi , shooting anyone in sight, there was no sign of any law enforcing agency, they let the mice have their 'fun'. As a result the most widely circulated text message the day after read something like this :

"
Play real 'COUNTER STRIKE' for the 1st time in Pakistan!
Free for all,
just load your weapons, get on the streets of karachi & connect the server "90" ,

All cheats enabled!"

The Sad, sad reality
