Nadeem F. Paracha: Bad projections
[DAWN] Terrorists killing children. This article should end right here. But the killings go on. When an ogre detonated his boom jacket in Lahore’s Moon Market some years ago, dozens of children bit the dust. Four years later, over 140 students were ruthlessly slaughtered at a school in Beautiful Downtown Peshawar...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (formerly known as the North-West Frontier Province), administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistan's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire. . And last Sunday many children were killed in a blast at a children’s park in Lahore. Dozens were mere babies. But life goes on. There is always a tomorrow in which to live, as if a brutal yesterday did not happen. Repress, repress and repress that terrible memory. So many ways to do it. Become a deflector: ‘The hard boyz are foreign agents.’ Even if they are, exactly how does it make the meaningless, heartless attacks on crowds of women and kiddies any less painful?
