Politics and People

They never seem to go hand in hand. There we have thousands of people languishing in the earth quake ridden region of Pakistan controller Kashmir and here we have Pakistan and India not looking eye to eye on relief measures. India has offered to send in choppers to help reach all those remote villages, which are still cut off from roads. People are dying there without basic amenities like tents, food etc. There are still supposedly plenty of people trapped under tons of rocks and I sincerely doubt they have a chance to survive after a week down there. Coming back to what I was saying, Pakistan has accepted India’s offer to help but does not want Indian crew flying the choppers. They want to use their own personnel. At a time of turmoil like this, they are still fooling around when thousands of lives are at stake. It is pretty disgusting when I think about all the helpless, dejected and frustrated people out there who are being victims of mindless politics and bull shit. Just like human beings sometimes sit back and look at the bigger picture of life, countries should learn to do the same. It is just not fair that people have to pay the price just because their countries are being mule headed. I have never been pro or anti Pakistani. I never will be. I am just saddened that people are stuck in this crossfire. Innocent people.
Politics is a dirty game.
