this is how . understood ?
WTF ?
I am not going to blame Iran for some evil design on Pakistan because of some stupid stray shells landing in Pakistan. This region is infested with drug smugglers primarily because of the failure of Pakistan to effectively police this area.I know the only issue on this border zone is law and order.
If there are some Pak members here moaning that is simply because of the Wahabi infestation. I would ask the Iranian members ( who from my experiance tend to be better educated and mature ) not to get involved in mud slinging with these guys.
All that will do is make this into Iran/Pakistan issue. Do you think that is good for Iran or Pakistan? I don't think so. Thee is so much potential for this region and now that your getting out of the sanctions there are so many possibilities.
As regards the link you have provided that is Pakistan through the eyes of Americans. Shall I give you picture of what American's paint Iran as? They paint Iran as depraved backward Islamic hell hole where women are routinely stoned to death. I don't think you should be relying on American propaganda against Pakistan to form your opinions as much as we should not form ours on hostile rubbish.
That we I could even get some choice picture of some black "hood" in USA with all those "gangsta" types and drug dealers. It would not paint a very positive image of USA.
its our bad luck buddy . Mexico's neighbors is US and our neighbors are some opium producing poor nations .
No my friend.
No. It is not your bad luck buddy. It is our
misfortune. The only
differance between Pakistan and Iran is this
A
accident of nature endowed you with
oil. All you have to do is open the tap and earn billions of dollars. Do you know how much
work we have to do to even earn
tenth of what you earn through oil?
Our people have to toil in the heat to scrape living out of the dry barren earth. I have respect for that. You should thank your stars that you have oil not make fun of othes or else you are no better then Saudi's with their oil largesse.
Have a look at your export profile and then look at our export profile and trust me yours will be oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, and then oil gas, oil gas and then more
oil and
gas.
So just appreciate what you have and
not mock your neigbours who have no oil and have resort to other ways to make a few dollars.
* Those images you showed are cherry picked. Most are poor Christian migrants or Afghan refugees living in temp shelters on the outskirts of Islamabad. We don't have oil wells. What we have is through our hard earned graft. I can cherry pick as well. You want a visage of the city.
* To the Pakistan "retards" can you NOT pick fights with our Iranian neighbours. Do we really need to annoy another neighbour? Do you really want to push these even more into the Indian camp?
* Besides anything we need energy. Where are we going to get it from? Iranian gas is the only option and we could have it by 2018 if we play our cards.
And don't forget
even with all that oil if you want to
cherry pick it is easy. So please let us not go down this road.
Poverty in Iran reaches new heights

Experts say Tehran's poverty line has reached USD 860
@Serpentine I have lots of respect for Iran. I am sure you know by now but can you please educate your fellow countrymen to not get involved with these Salafists in Pakistan. Just ignore them.
I also suggest you lock this thread. You and I know this stupid mortar fragments are nothing but some peole are using this to cause grief for nothing. We get hit by hundreds of american drone attacks but all they can see is these shards.
