    It was unbelieveable and we were so far away.. it was hard to understand how so many died..
    We sent help along with many other countries but many of you hate us anyway.

  • Addressed to all

    Just as a reminder, Pakistan was the only country which really helped during the Afghanistan operation after 9/11. Some people just start shouting "You hate the US..." Blah blah blah. without rhyme or reason. Get out of your shells people! I'm a Pakistani, and a bearded one at that. I can be a hundred percent sure that if any of you guys saw me, you'll either want to run away or set the dogs on me. So stop being so discriminating.

    What happened was terrible, I live in Islamabad, a friend of mine and his family lost their lives in a building complex named "Margalla Towers". That complex was a couple of minutes walk from my home. Imagine how I felt when it happened. My family is OK.

    Show a little respect people. To the memories of all those who lost their lives during the quake and its aftermath. It's disasters like these that bring out the best and worst in humans. I thank all the people from other countries who came to our aid, be they from the US or elsewhere.

  • heavy hands

    so sad but it's hard for me to see us giving help to the same people who the majority repeatedly, even after getting asistance before, continue to show hatried for the U.S. to which there ideoliogy would compel them to hide terrorist and celebrate our twin towers disaster.
