Twitter alert: Saying ‘No’ to NATO on 4th of July
The sentiment took a new toll when the Pakistani government announced reopening Nato supply routes immediately after the US apologised for the Salala cross-border attack which had killed 24 Pakistani soldiers.
A trend “SayNoToNato” started trending in Pakistan on Twitter, but ironically, the trend was topped by “Happy 4th of July” in celebration of the independence day of the US.
Here are a few top tweets from the local twitterati:
Jawad Ahmed @ImamJawad
Life is too precious to be relaced with just an apology. America needs to do more #SayNoToNATO
Tamoor Raja @tamraja
Wonder what America's response would have been if Bin Laden simply apologised after 9/11. #SayNoToNato
Awais Aslam Mirza @mawaispk
Sorry for your loss" does not translate to "We apologize for (accidentally) killing your soldiers." is it Sorry? #SayNoToNato#GoAmericaGo
Shamsuddin @shamspk
24 Pakistanis, 7 months, 11 words - "We are sorry for the losses suffered by the Pakistani military." - Hillary Clinton #Shame#SayNoToNato

It looks ironically funny when "happy 4th of July" is trending at no. 1 and #SayNoToNATO at no. 2 in Pakistan We r definitely a confused lot.

I really can't believe that Happy 4th of July was really trending on top.. it was just imposed on twitter like a drone attack.
@faraz: Wrong. Saudi prince bought shares in twitter worth more than $300 million.
They should quit twitter, which is a US based company, in protest.
If Clinton apologized, where is the video ? And their is a a lot of difference in Apology and SORRY...
all i can say "yes we made US to apologize" that's it
