Excellent job by the Pakistani peacekeepers.

In certain deployments its really the only lifeline for folks in the area for such disasters, so the professionalism and experience counts for a huge deal.

I wish the world will know the good Pakistan has done. It is a good chance for positive PR for Pakistan and Muslims in general.
