I agree Doug, the scenes were heartbreaking, and like Willow said, most of the victims seem to be children who had just gone into school.

However I do think that a country with such a poor population, and very little infrastructure in place, does spend too much of it's gross national income on arms.

I also think we do, but in relation to Pakistan we have the luxury of wealth to do so.
