#1 " 'Homeland' makes it seem that Pakistan has contempt for Americans and its values and principles. That is not true..."

Here is the rest of the quote (or what should have been)...

We hold all non-Islamist values and principles in contempt, just ask those Hindoos. Also our regular attendance at the Taliban's supreme council, the Quetta Shura is purely a coincidence they just happened to be in the same cave as our agents and piles of weapons bought with US military aid money. And nevermind that 5 Pakistanis who passed information to the CIA on Osama bin Laden (which led to the successful mission to kill him) have been arrested and imprisoned by the ISI ... We are your Best Friends in the region. Trust Us.

... said the Pakistaini ISI sock-puppet.

#6 Frankly, I'm astonished they didn't give it their tourism board's seal of approval. I though "ugly, ignorant, terror-plagued hellhole" was what they were aiming for.
