jbg Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 Now, brought to you by the Religion of Peace (or is this Israel's fault as well?). Do these people enjoy living like animals? Do they enjoy making the countries they have "self-determination" over so dangerous no one will travel or do business there. Why should there even be a U.N. or IMF bailout if these countries' governments and/or people do nothing to stem madness. Their poverty and ignorance is self-generated. Pakistan stunned by Lahore attack (link) By Simon Cameron-Moore ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Pakistani police hunted on Wednesday for gunmen who mounted the bold attack on Sri Lanka's cricket team in Lahore and officials scrambled to figure out who was behind it. The attack that killed eight people, six of them Pakistani police, plunged Pakistan into a "state of war," Rehman Malik, the prime minister's interior adviser, said. ***************** Six members of the Sri Lankan team and a British coach were wounded in the daylight attack as their bus approached the cricket stadium. None was so seriously hurt they had to be left behind when the squad departed for Colombo on Tuesday night. The Sri Lanka cricketers were reunited with their families early on Wednesday. "It's great to be back in Sri Lanka with our families and loved ones," Sri Lanka captain Mahela Jayawardene told Reuters after the team's arrival home. Five players and assistant coach Paul Farbrace were sent to Nawaloka hospital in central Colombo for checks on their injuries. In New Zealand, cricket officials said they expect to cancel this year's scheduled tour of Pakistan and play the series in a neutral venue in the wake of the attack. "We are not going. I think that's pretty clear. I don't see any international team will be going to Pakistan in the foreseeable future," New Zealand Cricket chief executive Justin Vaughan told local radio on Wednesday. **************** Aside from militancy radiating across the northwest from the borders with Afghanistan, Pakistan desperately needs billions of dollars of aid to supplement a bail out by the International Monetary Fund last November.

JB Globe Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 Now, brought to you by the Religion of Peace It is entirely possible to critique what's going on in Pakistan without resorting to logical fallacies. Hasty generalizations are the hallmark of intellectual laziness. Quote

What's the fallacy, that there was a totally senseless slaughter of the kind that it's barely news, sort of like dog bites man rather than man bites dog?
