I do not like Radicals either but do donate when I can. This board is full of those who one day might wish they had not laughed.
Don't be naive, Western aide comes with many strings attached, they often try to push liberalism on those receiving the aide. That is what the Europeans are doing in Uganda, the Ugandans want to give the death penalty to faggots, but the Europeans said they will cut off aide if they pass the bill. There were loads of pedophiles, faggots, and sex traffickers flooding into Haiti along with the aide after the earthquake there some months back. This was after Haiti was screwed over by France, after they kicked the French out they had to pay them loads in reperations for years. The Western NGO's know they wont be able to have sex with little kids in Pakistan or pimp out the women like they have in Haiti, so they really aren't bothered to get involved, nothing for them to gain there.

Lets face it guys nobody give a fuk about Paki's they are the biggest bunch of ponces in the world bar none, what is it less than 5% of the population pay tax, when they come to the UK they still live like pigs
Look it's Allah's will, you can't expect the infidel to try and change that. If Allah wants a few hundred thousand of them to die of Cholera, who are we to argue with him or his paedophile prophet?
I respect their faith in Islam.
Absolutely, like Katrina was God's answer to the United States' sins.
In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, some religious conservatives have speculated that the storm was sent by God as an omen or as a punishment for America's alleged sins. Media Matters for America has documented such statements from three religious conservative media figures: Pat Robertson, Hal Lindsey, and Charles Colson.

The things we regret most is the things we didn't do
England have made a massive gesture to help Pakistan out of their depression and gloom, and give them hope.
They've kept Alistair Cook in the side.
I think in general the public are fed up donating 200 million dollars or pounds sterling,only to find out in 2/3 years time people will still be living in tents.As is the case in Haiti lots of cash raised but not much action on the ground except for tented cities.
Aid, and cash, does'nt get to the people who need it. It gets waylaid, and ends up in the pockets of the corrupt government, and to manufacture, and purchase arms,etc,etc,. BOLLUX TO THE LOT OF THEM.
That is it , all the money ends up in the hands of corrupt government officials, large land owners, warlords, and other type scum. Why should I pay for some scumbags gold plated faucets? Studies have shown aide usually does more harm then good, but it is a billion dollar industry.
If I were a generous world government, not one cent of my money would leave for Pakistan before I could be fairly certain that after reasonable overheads every cent ends up where it is needed.
If benefactors in the real world were to share the same ideals, Pakistan would be left to rot. As would most other countries after a major disaster.
It may be worth discussing the moral/economic/political rights and wrongs of lobbing money into a disaster area, knowing that most of it will end up in numbered accounts, but on the basis that some will reach those in need.
I was sitting watching the news last night and it was the usual shot of some kid covered in flys and I think to myself, yep another day another begging bowl, frankly I just do not give toss.
Let them drown.
Two teenagers carrying a cricket bag have been beaten to death by a mob in Pakistan who mistook them for thieves.Their deaths, watched by police who did nothing to intervene, were captured on video footage that has outraged the country.
It shows men taking turns savagely beating the two brothers with sticks, drawing blood before dragging and hanging their bodies from a nearby pole. None of the dozens of people watching tried to stop the attack.
The incident is a blow to the already-shoddy image of the government as it appeals for international aid to cope with disastrous floods.
"Is this what we are? Savages?" asked an editorial in The News, an English-language daily. "So utterly bereft of a speck of humanity that a crowd of ordinary men are passive spectators to public murder?"
The killings happened on August 15 in Sialkot, a town in eastern Punjab province. As details emerged, authorities appear increasingly confident the two boys - Moiz Butt, 17, and his brother Muneeb, 15 - were innocent.
The two went to play cricket after praying and eating breakfast, carrying a bag with them containing game equipment, said Mujahid Sherdil, a top government official in the district. They were sons of a middle-class man who deals in fabric for footballs. Moiz was honoured with the title "hafiz" for having memorised the Koran.
An armed robbery had taken place near the cricket field, so residents were on alert and police were nearby. Apparently, when the boys appeared with a bag, they were thought to be the robbers, Sherdil said.
The origins of the video are unknown and there are reports that multiple men in the crowd recorded the attack using phones. Stations blurred out some of the more graphic images of the boys' bloodied bodies, but several faces in the crowd are clearly identifiable, including police officers in uniform who watched.
Punjab province Police Chief Tariq Saleem said the government has ordered two separate inquiries into the killings. "This incident is highly condemnable, especially in the police presence," Saleem said after visiting the boys' family. "All accused, including police, will be arrested soon."
