Displaced Pakistan In Pictures

This is definitely - the I want to go home look!

Nida, an internally displaced girl, sits while waiting for handouts at a distribution point for internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Dera Ismail Khan, located in Pakistan's restive North West Frontier Province, October 30, 2009. Pakistani soldiers are zeroing in on two major Taliban sanctuaries in South Waziristan as the army presses ahead with an offensive in the lawless tribal region on the Afghan order.

The Pakistanis should start teaching their people tolerance - the last time 200,00 internally displaced people fled from the SWAT Valley - the camps - most UN operated - did not allow in Christians - Christians were told that their food was 'unclean' - and that they would be better off finding separate shelters and cooking arrangements [in a war]. Think - how much western money went into those camps.

No doubt the Pakistani president will be on another shopping expedition to collect more money - expect Christians and other non-Muslims of the internally displaced to get naught.

What this indicates is that the mindset of the Taliban is an extension of the people's. Their intolerance is personified in the Taliban militia.

You don't have to respect a Christian, don't have to respect the polytheist Hindus and you don't have to respect the 'infidel' Pakistanis who don't practice Islam the way you do...

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton hit out on October 30 against Pakistan's silence on the whereabouts of Al-Qaeda leaders, wrapping up a goodwill visit cautiously welcomed despite lingering distrust.
