But since the subsequent US invasion of Afghanistan, terrorists have killed many times that number of people in Pakistan. Tens of thousands have died here in terror and counterterror violence, slain by bombs, bullets, cannons, and drones. America's 9/11 has given way to Pakistan's 24/7/365. The battlefield has been displaced. And in Pakistan it is much more bloody.

Shit, they even made a fortune overcharging for debris removal from Ground Zero.... 9/11 saved the mafia.

For months in the fall of 2001, our highways looked like a county fair on wheels. "Look out, Al-Ada---patriot on board!" I once saw a guy with five flags tell a guy with four flags to go back to Afghanistan.

For the first time in a decade I felt a voice rising from deep inside my soul. It cried out ‘what will you be today?’ and I heard ‘relentless’ booming from the rafters inside an old gym as Sami and a group of young men chased dreams and trophies while their fathers went to war.

For your own security it’s imperative you blend in with the native population.
