Pakistan and U.S Relations

     
         I was recently watching a documentary about the attack and killing of Osama Bin Laden. It's really interesting how the government puts its best together in order to work towards capturing and killing of a terrorist who caused the death of many.

      While watching this documentary, I came across information that really disturbed me.
 
        So it's a fact that Pakistan and U.S intelligence were working together to bring down terrorists and their assistance has helped bring down about 5 out of 10 major terrorists that have been captured. However, it's believed that Bin Laden was believed to be staying in the complex where he was killed since 2006. It is believed that many members of the Pakistan intelligence were aware of this information.

       Many leaders in the U.S Government believe that Pakistanis should not be trusted anymore. They believe that all assistance and cooperation should be stopped and that Pakistan should officially be considered as an uncooperative state.

      My personal opinion is that this is would be a very stupid and idiotic step. First of all, there obviously something wrong if Bin Laden could stay grounded for that long. It means that Pakistani government is corrupt like many other countries. However, it's deemed to be beneficial for the U.S to be in relation with Pakistan and to work with them.

     Next, if U.S stops sending funds to Pakistani in order to educate their younger generation, they'll stop the long term solution to terrorism. Terrorism comes from ignorance. By not educating children, they're more likely to be manipulated by those with power and money.

     Not only that, why should the kids suffer the consequences of wrongdoing by adults. This absolutely makes no sense because kids are the future of the world. If they're not taken importantly and regarded with care and sincerity, World Peace is something we can forget about.

School Shootings: JUST STOP

      I just read about the school shooting that's occurred this morning in Connecticut and my heart is breaking right now. Its hard to imagine how people can become such cold hearted and why this happens. Every adult was a child. And we remember how children can be, right? Children with their innocence playing around, frolicking with their playmates, and when they want something, they look at us with those eyes we can't resist?
      So what happened? Did you forget how life was as a child? Did you forget the small innocent things about life that make it so sweet?
      .... Maybe, life wasn't that great as you were growing up. But shouldn't that be your motivation? Shouldn't you want to make it a better place so that children that are like you were have some place to go.
      It's really sickening how people can literally slaughter those that symbolize the innocence of our world. Children bring creativity into existent and they basically can change a person's life. The fact that one of the persons who did is a 24 year old is disappointing. This is someone who not that much older than me.
       What will happen to the world if no one thinks about this. Is this a sign of innocence diminishing around the world? Because that's what it seems like.
