Gentlemen in US and Germany:
I quit living in North America two years back and returned to my base, Pakistan, after living a 4th grade rated citizen's legal life in the 1st world for 12 years. I think I had enough of this humiliation. US and Canada had been at daggers-drawn for quite sometime just as Pakistan and India. Now they are good neighbours promoting trade between them. We are what we are born with and actually there is nothing wrong with our religion and society. All is a matter of time to be where the first world is, provided we are not sucked by ailing element of personal agendas, internally and externally.
This is only experienced, if one has lived in the 1st world. It varies from individual to individual on how one absorbs this kind of degrading perceptions...and if one tries to be offensive, you are asked THEN WHY ARE YOU HERE?
These perceptions for third world countries have existed prior to the Afghanistan related issues. However, they have been escalated now.
Think about it!
