| Pakistan reaches out to US on 9/11 anniversary | ||||
| 2011-09-11 | ||||
[Dawn] As a solemn nation observes the 10th anniversary of the Sept 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, Pakistain made a feeble attempt on Saturday to reach out to the American public, telling them that it was a victim, not perpetrator of terrorism.
B.O.Obama said the attacks had made America stronger. "As a resilient nation, we will carry on," he told Americans on the eve of the anniversary of the attacks.
"Yes we face a determined foe, and make no mistake -- they will keep trying to hit us again. But as we are showing again this weekend, we remain vigilant," he said. Mr Obama also noted that "across the Middle East and North Africa a new generation of citizens is showing that the future belongs to those that want to build, not destroy".
Joe Foreign Policy Whiz KidBiden The former Senator-for-Life from Delaware, an example of the kind of top-notch Washington intellect to be found in the World's Greatest Deliberative Body... and their spouses joined families of the victims at the dedication. Several hundred citizens -- many in patriotic T-shirts or holding US flags -- also paid homage. Pakistain availed this opportunity to tell the Americans that it was with them in the fight against Orcs and similar vermin "Which country can do more for your peace?" asks an advertisement published in the Wall Street Journal. "Since 2001, a nation of 180 million has been fighting for the future of the world's 7 billion." Pakistain had first offered this ad to The New York Times ...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... but they refused to publish it, forcing Pak officials to go to a business newspaper with a specialised but influential readership.
The Pak Army also has lost 2,795 soldiers while 8,671 soldiers have been maimed. There have been 3,486 kabooms and 283 major suicide kabooms. More than 3.5 million have been displaced while the country has lost $68 billion due to terrorism. The Pak nation is "making sacrifices that statistics cannot reflect", says a caption above a picture of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto, who was also killed by the terrorists. "The promise of our deaders lives on," it adds. | ||||
