#1 Ok....could someone explain exactly WHY they are going after doctors? Is it simply because they are Shia, are the nutcases mad that they might be violating some obscure fatwa by patching up people hurt by terrorist bombs/assassinations, or do they just hate people who studied something other than the Koran?
I guess I'll be seeing more Islamic-sounding names on my insurance company's list of approved doctors. Good for the US.....bad for Pakistan.

#2 Doctorsâ killings came to a halt after the Karachi police killed Haji Laldin alias Laloo in an encounter on April 4. Laloo was the city commander of Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, a banned sectarian outfit.

So Israel's strategy works in other countries. Wotta surprise.

#3 Killing educated and highly respected people like Doctors attracts a lot more attention then killing some anonymous, poverty striken people in a mosque.

#4 It says that the Pakistani doctors can't leave due to low wages. Why doesn't Canada import Pakastani doctors to replenish the flow of their doctors to the states?

Couldn't the French import Pakastani doctors to cover the holiday season so that fewer aged Parisians die?
