the image of pakistan is in tatters

2 attacks dude, you forgot the one in Karachi that did not get her, but really the security for someone at that high of a profile has to be super duper you know.

But yes there was something very wrong with this attack on srilanka bus, my view is that maybe people knew but did not want to do anything because of political currency it would get them. I cant believe that Taleban types paid them off, or even if it was an outside agency..that does not explain why the security was so lax. and backup not ready ASAP

that was a sarcastic 'top'

depends on your definition of rich because when you look at the real elite, they dont get in harms way much. But yeah the upper middle class types get robbed and kidnapped for ransom and all that jazz, happened in my family too.
