Nation of Pakistan-A message to my Country men.. · 01-10-2008, 09:00 PM

A cousin of mine wrote this really good article on Pakistan Times..
So i am sharing it with u guys..hope u all like it too..

How long before they realize they have killed 300000 for their 3000, and that too courtesy a charade they nearly pulled off and now its Marriott. Lets go down memory lane and see how others have been effected. Figures double to what I narrated. We still have hope, lets wake up. We could well be next, we are, they say it all day, we choose to ignore.

Try tallying all losses, civilian, three countries, and this number is less. And besides we live the 911 they experienced once. Our children aren’t safe, our families face the real heat. And unfortunately when buildings melt, transponders melt, we have never found a passport miraculously un-burnt that leads us to a war in some third country, from blood sucking vermin’s we enjoyed in Looney tunes, we dread the Oil sucking vermin’s that would go to any length to rape and victimize our nations, our generations all in the name of relief.

IT ALL STARTED FROM MY STATUS UPDATE ABOVE:
We elect, we re-elect, taken for a ride, memory spans trip like a counter every two years, new faces (revamped) new memories, new mistakes, new consequences, or is it? It’s a chain. We are the only nation that believes in refurbished leaders, sent packing courtesy contractual obligations, or self exile; they all end up at the same factory. Striking new deals, selling us long before selling their campaigns to us. Common man doesn’t know, nor will he, but why? For half the nation chooses not to make them selves heard. We hear the newly transplanted hair duo and third rated self acclaimed martyrs who have to sell out their fathers name to become a sellable commodity amidst the masses, make claims, of restoration of judiciary, electricity, food, shelter and you name it, they have a slogan for any problem, like FDA has a pill for every symptom. They keep on advertizing till you one day say, yeah I have that, I should go get it.

Common man, what does he do? Where does he go? Me, you, the people next door, or that distant bystander. Where does he go? Who does he go to? You choose not to support each other. Those I mention above throw the “160 million’s support” (Sola Crore Awam)slogan at you a dozen times a day and you believe it. Wake up. Half the nation doesn’t vote. That gives us a simple majority in the parliament if we were to stand for each other. The rest of the vote being divided amongst various parties, we would in fact have more than that.

How many more explosions do we need, how many more. Don’t look towards the west, don’t run there either. They are going down as the educated and privileged there are no less illiterate than us when it comes to policies, their leaders, their banks. The Federal Reserve Bank there isn’t owned by them. Its 16 people, wonder why the policies happen to be inclined towards one country. They themselves are hostages, how and why would they help? Can they? They have printed more bills than the gold required and are a century ahead of the deficit on the printing front. They suck Oil today for they need another collateral. FROM THE BLOOD SUCKING VERMINS WE ENJOYED FROM LOONEY TUNES, WE HAVE AN ALL NEW BREED OF OIL SUCKING VERMINS, MOLESTING AND VICTIMIZING OTHER NATIONS FOR THEIR (FAILED POLICIES) IN THE NAME OF RELIEF.

Claims of not negotiating with terrorists shall remain claims. They are a personal aide to the real terrorists, economic in nature or otherwise. Back in the day these were referred to as the middlemen for the fairer gender that were on the market. Today popular belief leads you to believe its some man wearing a velvet coat and driving a burgundy car with gold rims, but really it is who we see, telling us, trying to educate us, as to how badly we need their services to sort our misery.

So come to think of it we aren’t all that different from the majority there, so they would understand too if we rise today. They are as much hostages to their captive leaders as we are to ours. We have something in common. The mere difference being we are acquainted to grain and they are to waffles. They drive thru a franchise, it is thrown from planes here, 60kilo bag on a 40 kilo man. We are next.

Take a look below, visit the site as well. See what’s coming our way. Hell. Just tell me you are with me, lets stand, lets make our own fate, please, this time wont return. We are the only ones that stand a chance, if at all. We need each other, not these cancerous elements. Unite. Let’s show them we can rise above the divide they plant in the name of language, ethnicity, race, caste creed and religion.

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD. I PRAY THAT ALLAH HELPS US START SOMETHING. A CHANGE TAKES GENERATIONS, A REVOLUTION A GENERATION; TO EVOKE A REVOLUTION REQUIRES A SPARK. LET’S TRY AND DO OUR BIT. LET’S CREATE THAT SPARK AND SEE IF IT CATCHES FIRE. IF YOU ARE WORRIED TODAY WHO WOULD BELL THE CAT, WHO WOULD TAKE THEE BULLET, WHO WOULD TAKE A CHANCE ON BEING TORTURED, MY ANSWER IS, I WOULD. NOW WE HAVE ONE. I HAVE FOUND ONE BELIEVER IN ME, CAN YOU DO THE SAME.

U.S. and coalition authorities rarely provide any public estimates of Afghan or Iraqi troop or civilian casualties or injuries. In this absence of official data, we present the latest and lowest credible estimates we’ve found. Where a range is estimated (for example, 2,500-4,000), the lower figure is always cited.

• Afghan troops killed: Based on an unpublished November 2003 estimate by Mark Herold, Ph.D at the University of New Hampshire, augmented by Dr. Herold’s tracking of media reports since. See Dr. Herold’s website for more information.

• Afghan troops seriously injured: Posted number reflects our estimate, using a conservative, historically-based ratio of 3:1 (serious injuries to fatalities) for troops during wartime.

• Afghan civilians killed: Based on estimate and tracking by Dr. Herold through May 2003, and augmented from media accounts since then, as listed at Dr Herold’s website. Deaths since Dr Herold’s latest update (July 2004) are not included.

• Afghan civilians seriously injured: Posted number reflects our estimate, using a conservative, historically-based ratio of 1.8:1 (serious injuries to fatalities) for civilians during wartime.

• U.S. troops killed in Afghanistan: US military deaths in Afghanistan are announced by US Department of Defense and CENTCOM, and tallied at Wikipedia, which notes that “the American figure is for deaths ‘In and Around Afghanistan’ which, as defined by the U.S. Department of Defense, includes some deaths in Pakistan and Uzbekistan, the death of a DoD civilian employee, and the deaths of four CIA operatives.” According to Wikipedia, “As of September 3, 2008, there have been 884 coalition deaths in Afghanistan as part of ongoing coalition operations (Operation Enduring Freedom and International Security Assistance Force (ISAF)) since the U.S. invasion in 2001. In this total, the American figure is for deaths “In and Around Afghanistan” which, as defined by the U.S. Department of Defense, includes some deaths in Pakistan and Uzbekistan[1], the death of a DoD civilian employee, and the deaths of four CIA operatives; and the Italian figure includes the death of an intelligence agent. In addition to these deaths in Afghanistan, 62 Spanish soldiers returning from Afghanistan were killed in Turkey on May 26, 2003 when their plane crashed.”

• U.S. troops seriously injured in Afghanistan: To the best of our knowledge, this data is not publicly tracked (if you know a reliable source for this information, please let us know). Posted number reflects our estimate, using a conservative, historically-based ratio of 3:1 (serious injuries to fatalities) for troops.

• Other coalition troops killed in Afghanistan: Coalition military deaths in Afghanistan are announced by US Department of Defense and CENTCOM, and tallied at Wikipedia, which notes that “In addition to these deaths in Afghanistan, 62 Spanish soldiers returning from Afghanistan were killed in Turkey on May 26, 2003 when their plane crashed.” We have included these 62 dead.

• Other coalition troops seriously injured in Afghanistan: To the best of our knowledge, this data is not publicly tracked (if you know a reliable source for this information, please let us know). Posted number reflects our estimate, using a conservative, historically-based ratio of 3:1 (serious injuries to fatalities) for troops.

• Contractors killed in Afghanistan: Based on this July 2007 Reuters article, which cites US Department of Labor statistics obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request. The article reports that 75 private contractors had been killed in Afghanistan from the beginning of hostilities in 2001 through July 2007.

• Contractors seriously injured in Afghanistan: Based on the same article, 2,428 private contractors had been seriously wounded in Afghanistan from the beginning of hostilities in 2001 through July 2007.

• Journalists killed in Afghanistan: Based on numbers tracked by Wikipedia.

• Journalists seriously injured in Afghanistan: To the best of our knowledge, this data is not publicly tracked (if you know a reliable source for this information, please let us know).

• Iraqi troops killed: Based on an estimate of 30,000 deaths, offered by US Gen. Tommy Franks, cited by the Washington Post on Oct. 23, 2003. No estimate has been made publicly since that time.

• Iraqi troops seriously injured: Posted number reflects our estimate, using a conservative, historically-based ratio of 3:1 (serious injuries to fatalities) for troops during wartime.

• Iraqi civilians killed: Based on this study [pdf], published in the British medical journal The Lancet in October 2006. The study concluded that at least 392,979 Iraqi civilians had been killed in the occupation, in addition to deaths expected from Iraq’s normal death rate, through July 2006. The study’s mid-point estimate was 654,965, and its high estimate was 942,636. U.S. authorities, including President Bush himself, have loudly complained that the study is based on “flawed methodology” and “pretty well discredited,” but as often happens when Bush speaks, that’s simply untrue. The study was conducted by Johns Hopkins University, and used standard, widely accepted, peer-reviewed scientific methodology. Explained very briefly, Iraqi respondants in numerous randomly selected locations were asked about recent deaths in their households, and family members were able to show a death certificate to document 80% of the deaths they described. Results from these interviews were extrapolated nationwide, the same way political opinion polls extrapolate a few hundred interviews to reflect nationwide opinions. It’s the same method used by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control to estimate deaths from disease outbreak anywhere in the world, the same method routinely trusted by the U.S. and U.K. when counting deaths from warfare, civil unrest, or other situations anywhere in the world. From the study’s lowest estimate of 392,979 deaths occurring over the first 40 months of occupation, we have extended this rate of civilian deaths (9,824 deaths per month) over subsequent months of the occupation since the study was published.

• Iraqi civilians seriously injured: Posted number reflects our estimate, using a conservative, historically-based ratio of 1.8:1 (serious injuries to fatalities) for civilians during wartime.

• U.S. troops killed in Iraq: Based on numbers announced by US Department of Defense and CENTCOM, and tracked by the good folks at Iraq Coalition Casualty Count.

• U.S. troops seriously injured in Iraq: Based on numbers announced by US Department of Defense and CENTCOM, and tracked by the good folks at Iraq Coalition Casualty Count. (According to this article by Salon reporter Mark Benjamin, an additional 25,289 service members had been evacuated from Iraq and Afghanistan for injuries or illnesses, but not included in the official numbers and not included in the numbers presented on this page.)
