Re: Terrorists storm Peshawar school, Scores of students killed
The attack on the Army Public School in Peshawar is one of the deadliest attacks ever by the Taliban in Pakistan. The terrorists have been attempting to destabilize the nation of Pakistan for over a decade. Unfortunately, we have witnessed hundreds of attacks throughout Pakistan in the last decade, and thousands of people have been laid to rest due to the acts of terror. It would take nothing less than a heartless human being to target innocent little school children. This attack presents a new low and clearly proves that the terrorists continue to surpass all lines in their bid spread fear and chaos.
Our deepest and heartfelt condolences go out to all those who are affected by this tragedy. We hope that the families and especially parents find the strength to deal with this heartbreak.This is what the U.S. President Barack Obama said after the attack: “The United States condemns in the strongest possible terms today’s horrific attack on the Army Public School in Peshawar, Pakistan. Our heart and prayers go out to the victims, their families, and loved ones. By targeting students and teachers in this heinous attack, terrorists have once again shown their depravity. We stand with the people of Pakistan, and reiterate the commitment of the United States to support the government of Pakistan in its efforts to combat terrorism and extremism and to promote peace and stability in the region”.
The seriousness of the situation requires our nations to combine our strength against those who pose a threat to the safety of our nations. We are witnessing how these repeat offenders continue to resurface with their deadly agenda, and it serves us no good to indulge in conspiracy theories that shift the advantage in our common enemies favor.We stand with the nation of Pakistan during this tragedy, and pray and hope that day is not far when peace is restored throughout the country.

For Pakistan, it would have made more sense to stay neutral in Afghan American war but because we were and still are dependent on American aid, we were compelled to take American side and the consequences followed. Thank you for your condolences though. Pakistan used to be a very safe and peaceful country prior to American Invasion of Afghanistan.
