Why Doesn't the World Care About Pakistanis?

Personally, I think we are all "disastered out". We have had so many events in the past couple years that we just can't deal with them any more. And now we are being asked to pull more money out of our pockets. And for most counties, Pakistan is just too remote.

 
I disagree. 'Disastered out'? Come on, that's just a lame excuse for people not wanting to donate. Personally I think there are elements of racism involved. I think people see Pakistan as a place that's almost third world, living in mountains aetc and so when they see (or don't see as the case seems to be) a disaster like this they just think "Oh well, they're used to living like that" when in fact that's far from the truth. Also, In many cases Pakistan is seen as the enemy to many people and so there's less empathy for these poor people when in fact these people who are suffering, dying of disease and malnutrition have no influenec over what their government does any more than you do yours. Disastered out my arse, people look on Pakistan and their people differently so are less inclined to help. If this happened in say Canada or Australia you can bet your last dollar they wouldn't be disastered out then, oh no.

Indian, Pakistani troops clash on Kashmir border

(CNN) — The Indian army accused Pakistani troops of violating a major cease-fire early Thursday by firing across the line of control in Kashmir.

Pakistani border troops fired for about 90 minutes in Poonch district of Jammu Kashmir, said Biplab Nath, a spokesman for the Indian army in Jammu.

AH! The last resort of those who don't like others opinions - blame it reading the Daily Mail. FYI, I don't read the Mail, or any other paper for that matter (because I don't trust any of them to be even vaguely impartial if you want to know) other than to amuse myself on how they slant (or create) stories to match their politics. Sad to say, your comment has got you crossed off the "people with something useful to contribute" list, and added to the "people who don't Google before posting" list.

I will consider sending something to help out in Pakistan but I will never make donations thru the Red Cross. 

After their suspect actions during Katrina fund raising and spending they are off my donate list.

I've learned to study the charities and anyone with high "administrative costs" are kaput.

Thank you for calling this to our attention.

It's about 10th story down on the CNN home page.

Americans are probably a little disastered out right now.  (not that they should be, but the Gulf trauma was long and heartwrenching).
