All those missing people, you know what, they're more than numbers. They've been on this planet for years and each of them, their presence and now their absence, effected multiple social and personal relationships.
Fuck we're cold. And you know what, we will be till it touches someone important to us. But we wont do much beyond lament and cuss.
However, let it touch a big gun, with political and social clout. Then there might be some action.
Let the industrialists and the workers be. Someone, go for the bureaucrats and the MNAs and the MNPs.
Kill/kidnap the right people.
We just might see change.

In case you haven't already noticed, political leaders too are being killed and business men kidnapped. However, that has not led to any change.
What would have led to change would have been popularizing education and working together to free the country of corruption. For each one of us is as equally involved in breaking rules as any of the people you have mentioned.
Also, its bureaucrats, not beurocrats. =)

Hmm. I like it.
Kanwal seems to have missed out on the fact that politicians and bureaucrats dont get blown up in the obscene amounts, the way regular people do. You dont see them politicians at the scenes where crime usually chooses to strike. They are not required to be there, because they can afford to stay out.
I, for one, fully stand for the idea that Pakistan needs a modern-day Robin Hood. One with big moochain and muscles, the kind who would instill fear in his opponents just by twirling the end of said moustache. Because there are just too many people who deserve to be stolen from, and then dropped in the middle of a forest with just flip flops and a spoon.

I like the article. Kanwal has a point that it has been happening, but as Mishaal mentions it, definitely not in the same number as normal citizens. And since a modern-day Robin Hood is not possible, I like the idea of popularizing education and working together (but I think it is as unlikely as Robin-Hood coming to save the country, especially Karachi)
