		<description>Thank you for pleading guilty.  At least you were honest.  Sorry for being so harsh.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Anyway, Sunday&#039;s events would have convicted you had you not plead guilty.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Please don&#039;t be so presumptuous about Pakistan.  There are more political possibilities there than coups.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It&#039;s a country of 160 million.  It can be reasonably complex.  Politics and society there can move in multiple trajectories at the same time.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;While things were heated in Lahore, some villager in rural Sindh probably had no idea what the hell was going on.  The Taliban have made gains in the NWFP, but Lahore&#039;s red light district is still pretty active.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Camden, NJ is hell on earth, but things are fine in Saddle River.  You&#039;re fine where you live in DC, but it&#039;s a different universe in Anacostia or elsewhere in southeast, where you&#039;d probably not walk at night.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So countries can have areas within close proximity of one another but on opposite spectrums in terms of class, crime, etc.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In conclusion, please go back to commenting on the bailout.</description>
