Just a thought
I can't help wondering how much the US and UK are responsible for the recent event in Pakistan for giving billions and millions in so-called "aid" towards democracy? Perhaps it would have been more appropriate to have withheld so-called "aid" until the mechanisms had been put in place to facilitate democracy? Surely, all the US and UK have done is support a dictator?
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.

The place is a bloody madhouse and always has been. The western values are not welcome, yet those of little choice would wish for it.
As all religous or military state run countries the choice is power. For us domestically to argue over issues that quite frankly are of little bearing on society as a whole, can we understand what it's like in Pakistan.
John you are right to think that, western leaders try to proclaim freedom and yet at times when the time suits we turn a very big blind eye to others.
There are so many countries that mirror Pakistan, yet we fail them.
Should we help? I think we should and if the U.N had some balls the world could be a better place for millions of people.
By the way, has Gerry and Kate had a vote?
