Damn, again? how come the people are not protesting these attacks? any Pakistani member?
@Oscar may be you could provide some insight on this as it baffles me how the people in Pakistan do not come out and protest against this. if it was to happen in India at such regular intervals the govt would fall.

But aren't you guys sick of it? just look at 26/11, people protested and the Home Minister had to resign so did the CM of Maharashtra , isn't the GOP responsible in some way to ensure the security of its people?

It was the security forces who pressured the political leadership to take action. Our politicians are scared of Taliban, but this time they have no choice.

Protest fatigue sets in after a while. If 26/11 kept happening over and over, how many times would we protest?

Is this a Sufi shrine? If not, what is the purpose of attacking this particular place? (Yes I know they are bloody terrorists, but even terrorists have an agenda - they wouldn't carry out attacks that make them lose the support of that section of society which sympathizes with their cause.)

We dont do enough protest.

When we protest the police kills citizens.

All our protests are political based.

Since when we have protested for ourselves?

there is a limit to ones patience. are you telling me that if these attacks happened in India the public would sit quiet? they would ensure the fall of the govt.

The day we wake up we will

The day educated people wake up and learn to lead we will

I just wished we had someone good enough to lead and not politically linked! But not until you have a political party no one takes you seriously!

Political parties in democracies do not care about (or pretend to care about) what their constituency find important. They care about things that are easiest to incite the crowd and swing the votes.
