the Indian subcontinent is a mess..
the terrible Pakistani floods a couple of years ago killed a
whole lot of people and displaced millions.. until today, the
stagnant floodwaters from that time is still there and the drains
which were supposed to be cleared so that the next floods will not
be so devastating are still clogged and no one is clearing the
drains...
the minister insists that they are getting ready for the floods
and insists that these plans will not come to fruition until about
5 years down the road...
yet they have nuclear weapons...
Unsurprisingly, nobody I spoke to, from Indians, to Banglas, and
even the Chinese are fond of Pakistan.
At best, they considered it to be a screwed-up country with
plenty of poor people but with nukes.
At worst, they considered it to be a huge trouble-maker with no
qualms about sponsoring attacks on India and spawning
terrorists.
