its a shame the the Olympics became International. Now the Holy Site of Olympia has to put up with Asian disputes thousands & thousands of miles away.

@Brabantfeatures

I d seriously consider to fund your trip to Pakistan,if you assured me it wouldn't involve a ticket back.Being realist I dont hope your departure d make a big difference,there are thousands of your colleagues that manage to exceed by far your level of populism and hypocrisy,but at least it would be a start.In Pakistan,a country that it's population exploded from 40 millions to 180 millions in less one and a half generation,you could search for the reason for its poverty....
