Pakistanis still have not learnt lessons from Lahore Attacks

[putrevus]

One one year anniversary of horrific incidents in Lahore, comments coming from Pakistani camp shows still they don't know, how to accept responsibility.Look at comments from their people. "It was tragic and shook our cricket," Wasim Bari, the PCB's chief operating officer Rameez Raja "Pakistan is suffering not only in cricket but also in other sports as we have not been able to host any international sporting event since then," Most of them are worrying about how to get their cricket back but not on why those lapses occurred and why no one has been brought to justice,even after one year these morons are simply worried about themselves.Nobody has still accepted the blame for lapse in security and are shamelessly were fighting with Chris Broad over security issues. Nobody has commented on how sorry they are for not getting any results for getting justice and show the world that they live a world where crimes are punished. They are ready to shout from roof top over exclusion from IPL or go to court against ICC for removing them as hosts, can you blame ICC.But when it comes to action everybody is silent this is just pathetic. They were commentating on how India was also in same boat so why it should be hosting the world cup.These morons were happy to lose their world cup matches as long as India also was losing it, but jumped to take the money from ICC as a compensation.

[achilles]

Agree with the sentiment that Pakistan has done little to bring the perpetrators of this crime to justice.

[vvvslaxman]

Pakistan supporters are so delusional that they often equate Pakistan's political situation to India's situation and try to make a case that India is just as bad. India has completed hosting 3 test series and 4 ODI series in succession without any incident. In Pakistan whoever they offered presidential security got attacked. Bhutto and SL players. They just made a mockery of their promise and dared to point fingers at the victims. So far no steps were taken to catch them. Pakistan is as dangerous as somalia.

[achilles]

And also that they've been wasting time on needless issues like IPL participation, instead of giving their nation the boost it deserves. I feel sad for the average Pakistani, who has done nothing to deserve this.

[zen]

Many in Pak have the tendency to point fingers at others to justify to themselves that if they are bad then others are bad too. They have justification for most things be it promoting terrorism, tempering the ball, etc. I am sure they would be feeling that others are biased to tour India and not Pak despite terrorist threats in Ind What they often ignore is that teams like SL did tour Pak despite the threats but Pak's security failed to protect them. In fact one of the policemen just lied on the floor pretending to be dead when shooting was going on! They ignore such facts. And to take it further assume that security level and threat level (even probability) are constant for both Ind and Pak! In short, they look for reasons to solace themselves mainly by pointing fingers at others and cry (by assuming that they have been hard done for e.g if someone from Pak tries explodes a bomb and he is shot in the process the anger would be on why was he shot 4 times when someone else trying to explode a bomb was shot only twice. What a conspiracy! ) rather than standing up and improving things to make a positive difference

Don't just blurt out things, that statement is the furthest thing from the truth and I'm not saying that in a " head under the sand " kind of way, I know it from first-hand experience. I agree that something should be done to nab the perpetrators but maybe you should look at some of the recent gains by the army against these retards.

Well Pakistan has been having issues since 2001 due to America's 'War of Terror' in its neighboring country, but they were able to successfully host almost all the series uptil 2009. It does anger me knowing that culprits of SL team attack have not been caught yet, but sadly our juridical system is as incompetent as PCB and outside forces have always played some sort of a role, so its hard to catch people. And no for goodness sake Pakistan is nothing like you are trying to make out here and what you see on CNN or Aaj tak. Yes, there have been occasional bombings due to all political mess caused by enemies of Pakistan (both Pakistani and non-Pakistani), but it doesn't happen on daily basis or what media tries to make out of it. I was there few months ago and have been there numerous times since '01. Everyone seemed happy and everything was normal in all major cities I visited. Wouldn't say the same thing for NWFP region, but it was normal few years ago. I went there back in '06 for a trip. Its was honestly one of the most beautiful places on earth with lakes, mountains and rivers all around. Hopefully peace will soon return there and all over Pakistan.

[Laaloo]

A year later, nothing has changed? The same Heera Lals and Amar Singhs that were using the SL players and umpires as target practice while the pakistani team was back at the hotel sipping chai and munching samosas, haven't been caught. Not even one? How can it be ****ing possible? In broad daylight, terrorists (god knows how many were there) in a busy area, comes shoots at international players and just leaves? And these morons from across the border still wants to host international matches :headshake:

Yeah, it's hard to "catch" terrorists in broad daylight in a busy city! Give me a ****ing break! And you're supposed to be the educated ones? You need to stop listening to Zaid Hamid.

For Pakistan cricket, everything changed a year ago. The men running the game in the strife-ridden country are working hard to reverse those changes, but the terror attack on the Sri Lankan team, which left several players with bullet or shrapnel wounds, has brought tours to Pakistan to a grinding halt. Former Pakistan leggie and selector Abdul Qadir looks back at the year that was. A year on from the horrors of Lahore, how has Pakistan sustained its cricket? Pakistan was rendered helpless as far as cricket is concerned after the Lahore attacks. And with the present situation, we can’t blame anyone for not touring Pakistan. We have accepted the truth and thus have learnt to adjust. We have to start looking for other venues where we can host matches, and, that’s what the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is doing at the moment. While such steps are depleting our funds, it’s the only way now to keep cricket alive. Do you see cricket returning to Pakistan any time soon? I would not want a guest at my place if I am not secure myself. Therefore, it would be silly to put a time frame. Who wouldn’t want a Tendulkar, Dravid or Dhoni to come and play an innings of a lifetime in Pakistan? But we have to wait and we don’t know how long. The Karachi Champions League (KCL) seems to be a huge success. How do you see such tournaments reviving cricket in Pakistan? I must congratulate the organisers of the event. Such tournaments are an escape from thoughts of rejection. And prize money of Rs 10 million is unprecedented in a small club-level tournament in Pakistan. Such tournaments are needed. Your thoughts on the IPL auction fiasco? It was a bad gesture, as in this time of crisis all Asian countries must stand together. Our cricketers have done no harm. They just want to play cricket, that’s all. You were playing when Sachin Tendulkar made his debut in 1989. What difference did you see in him when he scored the ODI double-hundred? I noticed the same Sachin, whom I saw 21 years back. His youthful exuberance is still there. He showed the same appetite for runs. He is getting younger with time. Please watch him steal a single or push for a two when he is playing next time.

Qadir says Pakistan isn't safe for the locals... figure that.

The whole country believes India was responsible .. what action do u expect? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/pakistan/4939509/Pakistan-blames-India-for-Lahore-cricket-terror-plot.html

"CCTV images show two of the attackers running from the scene to collect motorbikes and make their escape. There was no evidence that they were being pursued by police, fuelling suspicion that policing was either inadequate or conspicuous by its absence. Muttiah Muralitharan, the Sri Lankan spin bowler, raised the chilling prospect that the terrorists might have received inside information on the team's movements. "Somehow in this incident there were no police with guns on the bus," he said. He added that the team was not accompanied with its usual strength of security escort and that the Pakistani team bus had left the hotel they shared five minutes after the Sri Lankans." Kinda proves my point BTW Presidental Level Security :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical:

[Mamu]

Let me tell you a small story: between 2002 and 2005 I used to work for a bank and I used to sit in the same room with a Bangladeshi and two Americans. One American was a CowBoy -- who probably wouldn't even know the Capital of Canada, let alone anything about Pakistan. Another guy Jim was quite unlike normal American interested in World Politics etc etc. His knowledge about world was quite good if not extraordinary and would always get into good debate with me. I used to constantly harp about how bad of a place Pakistan is and how it was probably the most dangerous country in the world and he would constantly shoot me down saying "You Indians -- of course you guys hate the Pakis and you always consider them low". I tried to convince him otherwise (mind you this was just about the time Iraq war was going on ) but he would not listen. I told him -- "Mark My Worlds -- Unless Things change dramatically in that country -- This country is going to the Shyte Hole". He would just give me a wry smile -- as if to say -- "Yeah Right". We have moved on since then and six years since -- he talks to me on the phone and whenever that conversation comes up -- tells me -- "Dude you were so right about Pakistan. That is one God Awful Place". I had predicted this situation in fact 10 years ago--and I had even had arguments on the Indian Express Forum where the Pakis would come in **** load (because there was no registration). It is all for everybody to see 10 years since. Point I am trying to make here -- People are bloody stupid to be thinking Pakistan is a Dangerous Place Just because the attacks on cricketers took place. I laugh at them. It was a Dangerous Country 10 years ago. It is a Dangerous Country Today. It Will be Extremely Dangerous 10 Years From Now !!!!! (unless something Dramatic Happens )

They constantly assess what countries are most dangerous. Pakistan has been in top 10 for the best part of the decade. Now they are in top 5.

OH REALLY!! FORBE'S TOP 15 DANGEROUS COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD 1. Afghanistan U.S. President Barack Obama has pledged to send thousands more American troops to Afghanistan, but the Taliban insurgency is growing in scope, scale and confidence. Many Afghans have become disgruntled with the government's failure to improve their socioeconomic circumstances; some have even taken up arms with the Taliban for a wage. The area bordering Pakistan is the most dangerous, but violence is spreading to rural areas, with insurgents increasingly targeting civilians as well as security forces. 2. Iraq While there has been a fall in violence in the last year, militants are concentrating their attacks on infrastructure, with a concerted effort to strike at the heart of the government. Around 4,500 civilians were killed in Iraq last year, according to Iraq Body Count, an independent monitoring organization. Security experts believe that Iraqi elections slated for March 7 will be accompanied by a rise in sectarian violence driven by former Baathists and al-Qaida. 3. Somalia Somalia is known for its piracy problem, but the situation on land has also been extremely chaotic. The government of President Adullahi Yusuf Ahmed has struggled to gain control beyond parts of the capital, Mogadishu, while militant insurgents have expanded their control in southern Somalia. Despite an international anti-piracy naval mission in the Gulf of Aden, pirates have staged dozens of successful hijackings, several as far south in as the Seychelles in the Indian Ocean. 4. Pakistan Locals here are losing confidence in their shaky and besieged civilian government, which has been launching offensives against Taliban militants; yet a crushing wave of terrorist attacks continues. According to risk consultancy iJet, sectarian and ethnic violence in the commercial capital of Karachi has shown that Pakistan’s problems run much deeper than the challenges posed by the Taliban. 5. Sudan Ethnic violence in southern Sudan has been escalating dramatically, surpassing conflict-ridden Darfur. Bandits have been targeting foreign aid workers in particular, making the western region especially insecure. Rising political tensions between the north and south will probably increase as elections approach in 2010 and a referendum on southern independence takes place in 2011. 6. Yemen On the Arabian peninsula and bordering Saudi Arabia, Yemen has been beset by a number of complex security challenges: A widening conflict between the north and south and a separatist rebellion in the north has drawn in Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, al-Qaida is ever-present. The sudden and recent focus on Yemen by Western powers may bring in more money and training, but it may also invigorate Islamists spoiling for yet another fight with the West. 7. Democratic Republic of Congo Human rights abuses and violence against civilians have been worsening in this former French colony in central Africa. The military has been aggressively tracking down Hutu rebels, which has increased insecurity in the Eastern provinces. A survey by the Red Cross in 2009 showed that three-quarters of the population had been affected in some way by continuing armed conflict. 8. Guinea Guinea's future started to look more uncertain when the military junta led by Captain Moussa Dadis Camarra showed no signs of returning power to civilian rule. There was a massacre of opposition supporters in Conakry and, in return, an assassination coup attempt against Camarra by his aide. Camarra is still hospitalized in Senegal and the country is being led by an interim president--political chaos could continue for some time. 9. Russian Caucasus Violence in Russia’s North Caucasus--including Chechnya, North Ossetia and Daghestan--is on the rise with July 2009 being one of the bloodiest months in years, according to the Washington, D.C.-based Center for Strategic and International Studies. There were 445 deaths due to violent incidents in the region in 2009, compared with 217 in the previous year. Recent attacks by Islamic extremists in the region have focused on the local police force and government leaders. 10. Nigeria Oil-rich Nigeria is Africa's most populous nation, yet violence continues to be driven by religious fundamentalists fighting over the imposition of Islamic (or Sharia) law while kidnappings and attacks target the oil industry. President Umaru Yar'Adua recently went AWOL after flying to Saudi Arabia to be treated for a heart complaint. Angry protestors point to a cover-up on the seriousness of his condition, putting the country in constitutional crisis. 11. Chad Right in the middle of Africa, Chad's strenuous relations with Sudan are key to the conflict in Darfur, and the two countries have accused each other of supporting rebels fighting for more power. Reuters recently reported that rebels from Chad were raping, beating and looting villagers in western Sudan's North Darfur region. The country is one of the poorest and most politically corrupt in the world. 12. The Sahel The border region of Algeria, Niger, Mali and Mauritania has seen several kidnappings by al-Qaida of foreign tourists and diplomats from Spain, Austria and Canada, among other countries. The United Nations has also sounded the alarm about drug smuggling after the discovery of a burnt-out Boeing airliner in the Malian desert that was allegedly transporting cocaine from South America. 13. Haiti One of the world's most impoverished nations, this former French colony has been beset by political violence since it became the first black republic in 1804. United Nations troops helped settle some of the gang violence that swept through the country several years ago, but poverty and hunger continue to fuel violence, as does political instability. This week's disastrous earthquake that destroyed much of Port-au-Prince is likely to make things much worse. 14. Colombia Over the last 10 years Colombia has managed to bring down its murder and kidnapping rates and successfully contain insurgents and paramilitary groups. But the conflict between military forces and guerrillas, all played out against a backdrop of the illegal drugs trade and fighting over natural resources, has yet to be clear and has led millions of people to flee the country. 15. Zimbabwe The coalition government between dictator-president Robert Mugabe and Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai formed in February 2009 doesn't seem to have stopped the fear of organized violence fuelled by political allegiances. Members of the opposition party led by Tsvangirai claim to have received death threats and fear another surge of politically motivated violence at the country's next election. Rather unfortunately, the 85-year-old Mugabe still looks to be in good health.
