1. "But Pakistan is 8 times bigger than Afghanistan. "
- Surely not population wise, or area wise.
Wrong! If not 8 times the population we have about 6 times the population of Afghanistan!!!
You are distorting facts by taking them completely out of context. Ofcourse there are more infant mortality deaths in pakistan due to the population. If you went through CIA's population statistics u'd know this:
Pakistan: 172,800,048 (July 2008 est.)
Afghanistan: 32,738,376 (July 2008 est.)
Now in light of this compare:
Pakistan:
1. annual under-5 infant deaths ~423,000
2. post-invasion under-5 infant deaths 2.62 million (90% avoidable).
3. post-invasion avoidable under-5 infant deaths 2.4 million
F4 each 1000 that is:
total: 66.94 deaths/1,000 live births
male: 67.04 deaths/1,000 live births
female: 66.84 deaths/1,000 live births (2008 est.)
Afghanistan (Occupied land <A Victim of Alliance of American-Taliban Genocide
):
1. annual under-5 infant deaths 370,000.
2. post-invasion under-5 infant deaths 2.3 million (90% avoidable).
3. post-invasion avoidable under-5 infant deaths 2.1 million."
In each 1000 this is:
total: 154.67 deaths/1,000 live births
male: 158.88 deaths/1,000 live births
female: 150.24 deaths/1,000 live births (2008 est.)
- I'm glad to know that Pakistan had no hand in this.
He never said Pakistan under Zia did not have a hand in it. He said the biggest hand of it is American. Those who are their friends one day can become their enemies the other day and the same is happening with Pakistan and the way they are bullying us and trying to make us do things that we know will hurt Pakistan. Ever heard "Todays heroes are tommarows villains" I challenge u to look at any american news telecast from the time of the soviet afghan war and u will see the words "liberated", "drove away", "heroically fought against" for the taliban by american media. Yesterday soviets were the enemies and these same bloodthirsty taliban heroes. They were left to radicalize the population of afghanistan for years. They ruled whole afghanistan f4 five years but they were in control of southern parts even before. We all know this. Even now they are in control of atleast70% of afghanistan. Other surveys conclude NATO only controls the cities but 90% of afghanistan is under their de facto control.
- As you said in your post above: "I haven't checked your links or dimension's.". Please familiarize yourself with the statistics, the methodology, and their interpretations before weighing in on this. Also, I think you have got your time-lines mixed up....
Ofcourse...
Do go back to the statistics posted and try to understand what is being said and compare the statistics in terms of population instead of just pulling off larger numbers for satisfaction. It proves nothing when we have 6 times the population.
It seems to suggest that you've made up your mind before looking at the figures.
I cant believe u started too... now the americans and taliban are enough for us. US policies are hurting the war on terror and fueling terrorism. That was what i was trying to say. But hey lets all join in and unite against "Evil Pakistan". I think the US media has fed u this and i am sad that an african brother is trying to put the entire blame on us.
US uses the World for its own gains and then abandons them and the result is Afghans or Pakistanis are taking the bullets meant for them. I would say US and taliban are on the same side. They both need each other to continue murdering civilians and creating havoc. If one side goes they cant justify their petty little war. This is my conclusion.
I admit my countries mistake but america should admits its own and reverse its policies. We dont want to be the victims and we cannot and will not pay such a heavy price on the war on terror. Our children our people and our mitti is sacred to us. We hold it above all else. Remember if we are victims today u cud be tomorrow. Don't support every cheap USA's act just because ppl think its cool to do so.
