Re: Top most dangerous destinations in the world
A western women went on a trip recently to Afghanistan and did a story for the AP. Sounds like it would be a interesting and fun trip.
“…Most people leave after seeing the Buddhas, but there are other sites worth seeing, including the lakes of Band-i-Amir, five pools of sapphire blue set amid desert canyons, and the ruins of the Red City and the City of Screams, which were built in the 12th century and razed by Genghis Khan a century later.”

Re: Top most dangerous destinations in the world

Re: Top most dangerous destinations in the world
The article doesn't say what makes Pakistan so dangerous.
Re: Top most dangerous destinations in the world
^ The fact that they said it should be enough for them to be qualified as authentic!
Re: Top most dangerous destinations in the world
It sounds like "if you are white-foreigner in those countries, be careful".
Re: Top most dangerous destinations in the world
If 150 people had been killed in any country where top security was being provided by the government for a major political rally, where the head of state had multiple assassination attempts, where the government is bombing its own citizens, where the border regions arguably hold some of the most wanted men in the world and where suicide bombings are becoming more common place every day... we, the Pakistanis, would say ... its not worth taking the risk to visit that country.
Just because that country happens to be our own Pakistan, this becomes a biased media propaganda. Well.... where there is smoke, there is generally fire too.
And to be quite honest, IMO, at this point, Pakistan has actual bigger problems to deal with than worry about a friggin' Forbes list. Lets keep our focus on the menace spreading in our motherland, and have ideas floating on how to combat that.
Re: Top most dangerous destinations in the world

He's rightfully mad.
We have an incapacitated puppet in power. Our nuclear secrets are being sold for personal gain. Foreign terrorists spend weekends sipping Chai in the hinterlands. Political parties send communique through suicide bombs. Municipal rivalries are settled through civil wars. What's our response? What are we going to do? We cant keep shoving it under the carpet.

What exactly are we to do while sitting on our arses here in the U.S living our American dreams? Define "Keeping focus."
This is an honest question so please keep it this way.
