Pakistan...

Pakistan (Pak·i·stan)

Pronunciation: /ˈpakiˌstan, ˌpäkiˈstän/a country in South Asia; population 174,578,600 (est. 2009); capital, Islamabad; languages, Urdu (official), English (official), Punjabi, Sindhi, and Pashto                                                                                                                          
A Nation abandoned. 
I am so upset that I could also join the billions around the world and point fingers, "Pakistan is bad, is horrible, will not do anything to stabilize, the people living in Pakistan have gone mad"


Everyone has heard about the FLOOD in Pakistan "worst in over 80 years." To the Pakistanis when was the last time that you went back to your country and helped a poor person? Not by sticking a 20 in their pocket but actually taking the time out to figure out their needs and helping them out for a year or maybe more? Sounds tough huh, it's the country that gave you your identity in this world, it isn't so tough considering the exchange rate from a dollar to a rupee, anyone for guesses? One dollar equals approximately 85 rupees (US dollar = 85.6250 Pakistani rupees). 
We spend lavishly in The States, and far more in The EU. Here is the problem we leave our country and we don't turn around to see what goes on back their until we have to go back for a wedding or maybe one of our kids is getting married and shopping in Pakistan, as the British say is "Proper" it is cheap & amazing quality. While we are there we make comments "how do you live like this? how can you allow this?" The questions really should be how can we allow this? How can we let a nation which won its freedom through great loss, people in my family were butchered they did not care for their lives they had a vision, a vision of a free nation, a nation that will stand united through rough and tough. 
That vision is lost! I don't and will not get into the Politics (the activities associated with the governance of a country or other area, especially the debate or conflict among individuals or parties having or hoping to achieve power) of Pakistan. People in power are corrupt and are looting the country openly there is not a single person to stop this atrocity, reason behind this is education. People of The Islamic Republic of Pakistan do not have the money nor the mindset to send their children to school so they learn what their parents did, which is nothing but ridiculous decision making under tremendous pressure from an outside source (usually a political party trying to come into power by using force) or emotion.

Pakistanis need to stand up, I need to stand up. We need to suspend our cable television for a month, drop the data plans off our cell phones, skip a month of shopping for clothes, park our cars and car pool and send this money to a country that gave us our "Pehchan" our identity. I was not born in Pakistan you might not have been either, but your parents or grand parents might be from there, we owe it to ourselves. 100$\month = 8500Rs that can transform lives! 
We have heard about the floods, did we hear about the brutal killings, how about the load shedding (action to reduce the load on something, especially the interruption of an electricity supply to avoid excessive load on the generating plan) how unjust are the acts we have literacy to blame. The only answer is EDUCATION.



It is not too late. 
People say Pakistan has died, lets prove them wrong lets wake up because if we do not we will have killed Pakistan.
