Lal Masjid Siege Thread - Operation Silence (merged)

Re: Breaking News: Paramilitary Police clash with Lal Mosque idiots!

Well, yes, its obviously easier for people to relate to when it is shown on TV, thus it creates more discussion. This is why TV is the most popular medium of communication. So to point a supposed hypocrisy just because people are discussing this situation more than the one you cited is ridiculous. This is getting more attention because A) This is on TV B) It is inside the capital of the country C) It is more than just a terrorist attack and D) It has remained a top headline for over 5 days already. There is no hypocrisy here. I am, and I'm pretty sure others as well, are just as pissed about soldiers dying at the hands of these terrorists when it takes place near the Afghan border in the middle of nowhere as I am about soldiers dying inside the capital. There is no question about it. The main concern are the people who don't care at all and are actually supportive or apologetic towards these terrorists.
