Re: "Raymond Davis has Immunity" - Fauzia Wahab
I know its an emotional issue for us this whole Davis saga but Im amazed at how everyone is saying that we should ditch the UN convention that we have signed and keep Davis here.
Consider this. The US has barely a few thousand nationals in Pakistan at best. WE have nearly a million Pakistanis in the US who send in billions of dollars in remittances which are a major driving force of our feeble economy. So what if the US starts to victimize these Pakistanis in return? You guys are pissed off at th death of 2 Pakistanis here but have you thought of the effect on the million Pakistanis in the US if we dont honor our international treaties?
The real question we should be raising is that why did our government and our beloved ISI allow such characters to enter the country through diplomatic channels?
When the ISI found out that this guy was spying around why did they not immediately apprehend him and have him deported instead of allowing him to roam about?
Our weakness is not that we cannot keep Davis here rather our weakness was that we ALLOWED him in in the first place.
