Re: # 1

dont worry about affordability Sir,

we can also afford to kill hundreds of our own ourselves or let them be killed by the Americans in waziristan and Balochistan or make the impoverished suffer the burden of their existence in this country.

{``On October 8, 2005 we rudely awoke to our nightmare that killed 73,000 and rendered about 3.5 million homeless.``}

MiaN Sahib,
If we can afford to abandon 300,000 Pakistanis who are ``stranded`` in Bangladesh, then we can certainly afford to lose 73,000. Or, sir, are you more concerned about the ethnicity and quality of the Pakistanis involved?
