Re: Criticism and Rants.
Army is not an omniscient or omnipotent institution. They've done a commendable job in most trying circumstances. I remember discussing/questioning the level of preparedness of Pakistani institutions in the face of potential disaster a few days back here. However, I don't think that any country in the world can be fully prepared for such calamities of unseen proportions. It is said that the army man heading the relief operation has lost the only son he had. His wife is in a state of shock and, still, you don't find him allowing his personal loss getting in the way of him doing his job. Even if it's untrue, we know for sure that the civil administration in the northern areas totally collapsed after the quake. There was no infrastructure left not to mention the personal loss many of these civil administrators suffered.
There would be a time of introspection and retrospection. And there must be a time of retrospection. But at present people must refrain from negative criticism. If you can't help, don't make it worse for those who want to help with all those limited resources at their disposal. Positive suggestions are welcome. Trying to score points over army/civil admin/ or any other organization earnestly trying to help the victims is unfair, to put it mildly.
Please come forward with your positive suggestions and costructive criticism but let not your intrinsic hatred against any national institution blind you to the services that these people have rendered.
