The release of Raymond Davis

LONDON:


The release of Raymond Davis is a huge victory for America which will do anything to protect its citizens. This episode will just serve to pump up patriotism in Americans, while ridiculing Pakistanis. Relatives in the Lockerbie bombing received 10 million dollars per dead passenger, relatives in 9/11 who lost loved ones received many millions more — how cheap is the life of a Pakistani? Pakistan has lost badly in the eyes of its own people and the rest of the world.
